Reddit mentions of DeSantis Nemesis LCP/P3AT Ambidextrous Black

I have an original LCP that I carry in a [DeSantis Nemesis] (https://www.amazon.com/DeSantis-Nemesis-P3AT-Ambidextrous-Black/dp/B00266AHQ8?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-ffsb-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00266AHQ8). It works great for me. The material is a bit flexible but still rigid enough that the trigger is protected.

As long as your t shirts are not muscle tight and just normal fitting you should have no problem concealing your ruger 380. You can get a ton of good yet cheap kydex holsters to allow you to carry AIWB which would make your ruger disappear in any clothing.

Of course that is if you are wearing shorts with a belt. If you are wearing gym type shorts you can look into sticky / remora no clip holsters but I would not advise either for everyday carry. If you are wearing these types and they have a draw string and a pocket you can of course go the pocket holster route for cheap.

Shoulder holster would not be the best for concealment wearing just a t shirt.

DeSantis Nemesis

Looks like a wallet in jeans or shorts front pockets.. I'm sure the back would be the same just not as comfortable. The outer texture of the holster grips the inside of the pocket well so the gun will be the only thing coming out on a draw.

Yea that's a carry to the range sort of bag.

get one of those, I've had mine for years and no problems. Draw is easy.

From top to bottom (also the order in which they were bought):

• Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer 9mm
  
• Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9mm
  
• Ruger LCP .380
  
  
  
  The Shield is my EDC, but I live in Florida and sometimes it's too hot to dress to the gun, so I picked up the LCP on days I just want to throw it in my pocket. Also picked up the DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster and am really liking it thus far (though I haven't been to the range with the holster yet)!

I pocket carry a SIG P938, and I have experience with holsters, because I feel like the only way to try them out is to buy them and use them. Unfortunately this makes for quite the collection of holsters in a box you don't use.

So, let's start with the bad.

Alabama Holster:

CONS:

The hook to catch your pocket on draw is OK .. it's not perfect.

It does little to conceal print shape.

I did not care for the grip of the kydex, it was just a weird draw.

It was expensive.

It took for-friggin-ever to get, their back log of orders was months deep.

PROS:

It's kinda neat I guess?

Hickok45 loved and endorsed it, shrug

Now let's talk what works really really well as an everyday solution.

DeSantis Nemesis:

CONS:

I can't think of one.

PROS:

The pocket hook that catches on draw is perfect.

It is a little sticky, (rubber texture) but not too bad. This too is great for the draw.

It's cheap, (like $16-$18) and readily available on Amazon.

Does a nice job on print and is a great everyday solution for slacks.

This is mine.

The DeSantis Super Fly:

I have this one as well.

For me it is far too fat, and far too sticky. Some people like it better.

Edit: Yeah, I edited. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

I have a Kel Tec P3AT. I know that doesn't get a lot of love, but it has been a reliable gun for me. It's made in the US and has a warranty even if you buy it used, if it is damaged by any means, including your own negligence, they'll fix or replace the gun.

All-in-all, I like Kel Tec. And remember that 99% of holsters that fit the LCP fit the P3AT.

As for holsters for pocket pistols, I prefer pocket holsters that prevent printing. I like keeping my pistol in my back pocket where I would normally keep my wallet, for several reasons that I won't waste your time going into unless you ask. So the holsters I recommend for that, even if you go with an LCP, are these:

Talon Wallet Holser, which I currently carry.
DeSantis Trickster, which I have never used before but looks nice and is DeSantis
DeSantis Nemesis, which I carried for many years, but I felt like it printed a bit too much
Garrison Grip orGUNizer, which is super cheap but looks well made. Haven't used it.

First, carrying a firearm without one in the chamber makes that firearm no more useful than a stapler.

But I understand your concern so there are a couple things to remember. First, because the LCP is intended for pocket carry the trigger pull is made a little heavy. No worries and I like it fine but that means the trigger will not fire just because it is "touched". The trigger must be pulled.

So in order to be safe simply protect the trigger by making sure the holster sufficiently covers the trigger and if you pocket carry (like I do) make sure there is nothing else in that pocket EXCEPT the pistol in a quality holster that covers the trigger.

I pocket carry the LCP and have been for over two years and I never worry about an accidental discharge. Why? Because if that gun fires and was not intended to then it is not an "accidental" discharge but rather a "negligent" discharge. A person can sufficiently protect from that happening by making sure the trigger is always sufficiently covered.

Now I have a DeSantis Nemesis like this one:

and feel 100% confident that my gun will not fire unless I specifically intend for it to do so.
