How do you do that without covering any part of your body?
It's hard to explain, but I'll try. I grab the holster from the muzzle end, but where there is no muzzle. I'm right handed so that would be the upper right corner of the holster. I pull the holster from my pocket and rotate the muzzle away from my body to bring the grip to the top. While rotating, I bring the holster to the front of my body and put it in my left hand. Then I can draw from the holster with my right hand.

With my body shape, should it accidentally discharge while carrying it (unlikely since the gun is on safe, the trigger is covered and nothing else goes in the pocket) the bullet would go up and away from my body. If I carried the muzzle down, I'd likely shoot myself in the leg.

In practice, I have found that I'm less likely to hit the trigger with the muzzle pointed up. Also, the holster doesn't get hung on my pocket when trying to pull it out.
