My "easy carry" is a Sig P232. I normally have it in a pocket holster (right -- strong side). Since mine is a DA/SA, it has a rather large hammer on it that has caused me some grief. On not one -- but two -- occaisions, the hammer has come to full cock due to catching on the pocket material while sitting/standing (levis only -- dress type side pockets are okay) when wearing the High Noon pocket rig. Minor heart attack when removing the piece (remember the proper handling techniques). Some fixes to this situation (yeah, yeah, buy another gun) are to get the DAK version, get the hammer bobbed (soon) and design a new holster that guards the hammer. The hammer WILL get bobbed and being the inveterate tinkerer I am, I came up with (IMHO) a much better design for the holster. I made a kydex pocket holster with an extended front portion that covers the hammer. It works extremely well and is actually more efficient than the original one.

BTW, the reason for getting into the holster making hobby was to create one for my Colt Double Eagle (Charles covets it).
