I'm 70 now & been packing just north of 50 yrs. Tried just about everything and every way. What with military,30+yrs with an SO &15 yrs with another agency. got a ccw w/HR218 endorsement. Carried J frames over the years until something new came along.
Finally decided that if it wasn't completely comfortable you wouldn't have it when you needed it.(first rule of gunfighting).I went back to a J frame. A 442 in nickel in a De Santis pocket rig. It rides in my right front pocket, weighs less than 15 oz. I'm trying it with RBCD ammo. looks & handles good. Got grips from precision grips. Ammo in 2 speed strips, and if I have room, 2 safariland speedloaders. Retired now so I don't have to weigh in. Just protect me and mine.
It goes on when I put my pants on and comes off when I take them off. I know its there but its perfectly comfortable.
Sorry to be long winded, but" been there, done that" and just might save someone a lot of time and especially money.
