Maybe my pants pockets are bigger than everyone else, but I can put a Glock 26 in my pants pocket.
This summer I saw a (no holster) full-size 1911 (or VERY similar in outline) in the front pants pocket of a workman in the Capitol Building of a very gun-friendly state. I don’t know how you can draw that quickly from a pocket, but if he has time to deploy it, he will have the best gunfighting tool around when needed. I was tempted to ask some questions, but he was working hard and I also didn’t want to stray from what I was doing.
