    Default How to get bigger pockets

    I recently received a gun I had ordered for pocket carry. The problem is that in real life I am having a serious problem getting it out of my pocket. I wear jeans essentially all the time. Some brands have (front) pockets that are better than others, but not generally acceptable.

    Anyone know of pants that would be unremarkable for everyday wear, but have more generous front pockets?

    I have thought about having the front right pockets replaced, but the opening would be hard to change and it is a significant part of the problem.

    Buying another gun is not on the table for discussion at this point.

    I found carpenders to have bigger opening but i still like cargo pants the best for pocket carry. I have an LCP that fits in my wrangler black cargos real well but when i were jeans i use a ankle rig because i dont like the bulk in jeans pockets. Just my experiance.

    Duluth Trading Company's Ballroom Jeans (they actually have several variations on this style throughout their catalog). Pockets are 12" deep and made with washed fire hose -- which, in addition to giving you oversized pockets, also gives you a material that will help mask the shape of your pocket piece! I'm planning to pick up a couple of pairs in the near future for the same reason.

    My Cabela's jeans have not only wide, but deep pockets.

    Are you using a pocket holster? It sometimes, and I mean SOMETIMES, can assist in getting a pocket pistol out of your pocket. Carpenter jeans are good and khakis are sometimes a little more generous in the pocket area.

    Yes, a holster is necessary. It is 9mm DAO only and has no mechanical safety. I am looking for a different holster as well. The one I have does not allow enough of the grip to be exposed.

    I wear men's denim shorts I bought at SAM's during summer and I love them for their deep pockets. Even my 380 isn't noticeable.

    Check out Remora holsters. They're clipless, I have one, and love it.

    I saw an add for a pair of pants that had a pocket that was larger than normal expressly for concealment of a gun. It had a snap closure that made the hand hole of the pocket normal size but when a large gun was drawn from the concealed holster in the pocket the snap would release allowing the extraction of the weapon. Do you think I could find the add right now? Not a chance. But I know it's out there.
