MK Pocket Carry, yes you can.....

[ReManG]

I have a new-to-me MK9 and have been having a good time with it. I am very impressed with the workmanship on the steel Kahr's, not that there is anything lacking on the polymer versions mind you. I have a CW380, bought specifically for its pocket carry ability/niche, plus the PSA price was too good to pass up, so I am not knocking the polymer.

The thing is, I have been carrying my MK9 almost as well in my front pocket with only a Remora holster..... and it carries far better than the paper numbers would have you believe. There is almost a pound of difference between the CW380 and the MK9 when they are loaded. You feel this, but not like you would think. I did not expect this out of the MK9 even though I knew it was physically smaller, like a PM9, but the weight was "Too Heavy" per the internet commandos for a pocket carry pistol. I like good belts (not gun belts mind you, just good leather) and I like large front pockets on my pants/shorts. I carry everything (wallet, keys, etc.) front pocket and find that my shopping reflects this. Now it seems I will be looking for a dedicated wallet/pocket holster for my "Too Heavy" MK9.....

So what does anyone else who pocket carries an MK(9 or 40) do for their comfort and techniques? I have a couple of other holsters for the MK9, Bianchi 105 minimalist (OWB), Galco Stow-n-Go (Easy IWB), Remora (IWB and now Pocket), but had not really considered a dedicated wallet/pocket holster for the little beast. I like the Uncle Georges I have for the CW380 a lot, so that is the top on my list for now. One of the leather lined Remora's is another contender, as they are thinner.

I am looking for any other input those of you that are CARRIERS of the wonderful MK series have. If you have a Kydex Pocket holster, I am especially interested to see how the MK fares in those, versus the pants pocket and ease of carry. If you have another method or technique for pocket carrying the MK's let us know. I guess instead of calling it a little beast, I should call it a Pocket Tank now....
