Any reccomendations? Preferably something inexpensive. Has to fit in the budget around diapers.

I have one from JS Holsters for my P32:

Or a little more, but better quality, I have one for my PM9:

Those are some good looking holsters, but a touch more than I have available to spend at the moment. Both are definitely on the want to buy list.

I know that Uncle Mikes makes a very usable pocket holster for about $12 if you just want something to get by for now:

I've got one of those for my wife's Taurus M85. Works great. The grippy strips on the sides make sure the holster stays in the pocket when you draw.

We have 'His & Her's' P32s and DeSantis Nemesis pocket holsters for each.

Mine has held up well after a few years of use. It hides the outline of the gun, looks like a wallet in your pocket if you can even see it at all. I wear loose pants.

I would buy another one.

You might find it cheaper from some retailer than what you would pay direct from DeSantis.

I use the DeSantis Nemisis for my P3AT also. Good little holster reasionable price.

I like the look of the DeSantis. How is the draw? Does it stay put in the pocket when the gun is drawn?

I seem to remember seeing them in the Dillon catalog. Going to go check.

Yep, here it is. http://dillonprecision.com/template/p.c ... n=1&dyn=1&
$15 sounds like it may be a winner. Not saying the the Uncle Mine's is a bad product, but the DeSantis appears to be made better, at least in pictures.

It would seem as if the pocket in which the gun and holster would reside would need to be at least somewhat tight for the holster to stay put. Would that be accurate? For instance, if one wears somewhat loose khaki shorts then when drawn the holster would come out with the gun.

dws1117,

The outside of the Nemesis is designed to catch on the cloth of your pocket also the 'ear' on the bottom corner is there for two reasons.

One is to make the object in you pocket look like a wallet, ie hide the outline of the gun.

Two, as you draw the 'ear' should hook the seam where your pocket and pants meet, keeping the holster in the pocket. If you do not hook the pocket seam with the 'ear' and the holster comes out with the gun all is not lost.

Just shake the holster off the gun, just like you would shake a bug off your hand. Or knock the holster off the gun by hitting the 'ear' with your other hand.

You won't have to do any of these things with a Nemesis. They stay in your pocket. I just mentioned these 'drills' incase you get a stiff leather pocket holster some day.

I have one for my KT P11. If I don't hook the 'ear' on the seam it will come out with the gun because it is smooth leather on the outside.

Regards, OE

Sounds like a winner. Thanks for the reply, OE.
