Glock 26 pocket carry..?

[Car Ramrod]

How do people do it? All the time I see posts where people say "I just throw my G26/27 in my pocket..." I have a hard enough time managing a Keltec P32 in my pocket, let alone something that is 2.5x thicker and much heavier.

I'm not a tiny guy, but does it take a person of a certain size and stature to be able to just throw one of these in their pocket and go on about their day?

I pocket carry my G26 maybe 15% of the time in front pockets of jeans or trousers and occasionally in side pockets of cargo pants (not as comfortable as for sure) or back jeans pocket. 6ft, 210# here and sometimes it's the best method for venue/attire.

Yeah, my sister has the same problem. Women's clothes just don't have the same pocket-capacity that men's clothes do.

To carry a G26 or G27 (or any other gun) in a pocket, these things are necessary:

Relatively loose pants with relatively deep pocket liners, and
a pocket holster.

Carrying a handgun in a pocket without a holster increases the chance of a negligent discharge and injury either to the gun owner or to others or both.

The only pocket I carry my G26 in is the pocket of my Carhartt jacket. Pants pocket? No way.

I'm 6'6" and sometimes pocket carry my G27. Cargo shorts work the best, and a big part of it depends what I'll be doing. If I'm walking around (primarily) the pocket carry isn't bad. On the other hand, not a lot of room if I'm going to be sitting most of the time.

Car Ramrod, trade in the skinny jeans for some adult pants and you’ll be fine

Yeah, you need loose-fit pants with deep pockets. Some of my jeans are a bit too tight and shallow, (gun would stick out the top,) whereas others it just disappears in. I also have an Uncle Mikes pocket holster, size 4. It works great for my G26 or for my .357.

Definitely depends on the particular pockets. Some of my pants work better for pocket carry than others. Having said that, the biggest thing I pocket carry right now is my LC9.

They're not skinny jeans, they're Dickies!

This is a great question and has always baffled me. Even with loose, big jeans, it's obvious and uncomfortable. Tried front, back and cargo. No joy.

Guess I'm stuck with my 3 o'clock on the belt.....

For those that carry a Glock in your pants pocket do you use something like a SAF-T Block or just run it as is making sure nothing else like keys or what not get in your pocket? I'm curious...

To big for my pockets, even after dropping 30+ (& still going).
Going to try a Remora Sticky & see how that works for when my full IWB isn't convenient.

Put it in a pocket holster and put your (relatively thin) wallet in front of it. Just looks like a thick wallet.

G27 in Don Hume holster.

I have carried my G27 in this Don Hume pocket holster every day for several years. I carry in the right front pocket of usually a pair of Carhartt carpenter jeans. This particular holster only comes in brown, I dyed it black.
