I just got Tru-Spec cargo pants. The cargo pocket is roomy enough for the DeSantis Cargo Nemesis with a G26 with no problem. The front pocket is deeper than the 5.11 pants I've been wearing so that offers more versatility as well. For now I'm probably going with the G26 in the cargo pocket and might try a G19 in it's place.

I hadn't thought about Kimber. That Micro DC is really nice looking but I'm not sure about $280 more than the basic model. More to consider.

Thanks for the replies so far. I should have included I wear 5.11 original cargo pants all the time so they are fairly roomy and not tight. My goal is thinner than the 642 followed by smaller and/or lighter but thinner is the main goal. I don't have a caliper to measure across the cylinder but my estimate is about 1-1/3 inches so I should gain at least a quarter inch reduction depending on which I choose. Thanks again for the replies. I appreciate them.

I've been carrying a 642 in a Sticky brand holster in my pocket. It's a good setup but I want to go to a pistol to have a thinner profile and more capacity as well as reloading via a quicker/easier magazine swap then refilling the cylinder from a speed strip. I know there are "discussion" points on caliber and other factors. I've "discussed" repeatedly so I won't ask about that. My question is for pocket carry, ALWAYS in a pocket holster, would you consider all of these and if not which would you not consider and why?
