    Yeah I love how everyone says they 'easily' pocket carry a 10+ round 9MM pistol - maybe at home but the weight alone is a bitch unless you are Andre the Giant, slapping against your leg.

    Of course it sounds cool, like the G26 pocket carriers we all laugh at... because none of them really do...

    You can with this. Only 8rds though. 16.5 oz. Loaded. I carry everyday all day. Crawling under the truck, working on the mower and when you draw it goes bang!

    I have been pocket carrying my 365 for a little over a month now. Yes it is more bulky than the Bodyguard but nowhere near that of the 26. I wear uniform work pants similar to Dickies. It works fine for me with no slapping me in the leg. It would not work for me with jeans(pockets too small) or cargo shorts(pockets too big/slapping me in the leg).

    Mon thru fri, 7-3:30 for a month and don’t see myself switching back but always could go back to the Bodyguard if need be. It may not be for everyone though. I sold the 26 which I may regret later but did make a profit on it which was nice for a change. Will always have the 19 for IWB and need to get an OWB holster for the 365.

    In loose jeans or shorts it's doable with a good belt but I don't care for it. I've also carried a colt pocket nine and a p938. Basically same gun. Lol heavy for a pocket.

    Glocks have possibly the worst grip of any pistol I've ever run across.
    Almost every manufacturer out there does a better job with grip.
    Which is why i've got a Tanfog Witness 10mm instead of a Glock 20SF.
    Eventually I'll find a Star Megastar 10mm at a reasonable price, which is like a Glove...
    I sure do miss Star of Eibar, Spain...they made some nice ones before
    Bill Clinton's AWB of 1995 killed them and a lot of other gun mfr's off.

    Try a Keltec P11...very light. gives you 12 rounds of 9mm...
    I'm not quite Andre's size...drop it into a DeSantis, then into the cargo pocket and away ya go :)

    Oh, I did make one little mod to the cargo pocket of my pairs of carry shorts...Velcro on the Leg side :)

    My hand isn't for Glocks either. I've tried and sold them all. I do have a regular 20 and it fits my hand very nice. Only one.

    I had a 26 for years and concealed and fired well... However my 365 with longer XL grip is amazing. Grip is a bit thin on width so I added a hogue beaver tail grip. It is now perfect.

    I sold my Gen 4 Glock 26 and got a P-365. I am happy with my choice other than the extra magazine cost I don't see a downside! Much better sights that are metal and night sights as well. Very easy to carry and conceal, smooth metal trigger great capacity for size! I still own (2) Glocks but don't use them for EDC. BTW, I like Glocks, have carried them on & off-duty for over 25 years, and am a Glock armorer:)
