John R (Pocket)
$54.99
The DETROIT POCKET HOLSTER “JOHN R“ is ideal for concealed carry of smaller frame handguns such as the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380 or the Ruger LCP. The pants you wear must also have enough room in the pockets to comfortably conceal the firearm. If you wear looser pant styles, or cargo pants with multiple pockets this might be a comfortable option for you.

Version 2.0 just released as option Dec’ 2023
More trigger guard protection and user-adjustable retention
Available with or without Hook End
Design intended for use in the front pants pocket.
Made with one solid piece of .08 Kydex providing a great balance of definition and durability.
Black Calcutta (flat black) is the standard color (other colors are available as an upgrade).
Molded perfectly to the firearm model specified.
All edges are rounded, hand-sanded, and polished smooth for maximum comfort.
Kydex is formed the full length of the slide on both sides of the handgun.
Hook (configuration option) end has contour/arch to better-fit leg contour.
– The hook is designed to grab the corner of the pocket upon drawing the handgun separating the holster from the gun.
– If the “no hook” design is chosen, the holster is a bit more streamlined and the operator would rely on
the leverage of the “thumb pad” to draw the handgun while in the pocket.
Our standard John R Pocket holster has no retention adjustment and is designed to easily slide out of the holster.
— our Version 2.0 of this holster includes user-adjustable retention hardware in the form of a black anodized post, screw, stainless black finish washer, and rubber bushing.
Small thumb pad bent at the top of the holster to assist with drawing (configuration option).
Customize your holster to fit a growing variety of lasers and lights.
Made by American hands in Michigan.
The handgun and laser drop-down menus for this holster are shared with our other holsters. Use common sense when selecting this model holster as it may not be suited for a large frame handgun also consider if adding a light/laser it will widen the holster and will also push the hook out further.

“Received my second Detroit Holster order today (paddle for sig p938) and all I can say is absolutely fantastic work. Open carried all day in a pair of dickies shorts and no belt and Ive never been more comfortable in doing so.
These two holsters were money well spent and I can’t remember the last time I’ve honestly been this satisfied with a product. It’s been a while”

“I just recently received a pocket holster for my XDS in zombie green and I wanted to say I could not be more pleased with the quality, attention to detail and quick turn around time. On that note I would very much like to order another holster from you. I recently purchased a Ruger SR22 for my girlfriend and would like to order a holster for it. I did not see it listed as an option on your site. If this is a possibility please let me know.
I also wanted to thank you for the free trigger guard holster you sent me. That little guy stays on tight. I have and will continue to recommend you and your company to everyone I meet and you can count on my continued patronage.”

“I received my holster today and man I am impressed. As a person who has many different holsters (multiple Raven Concealment and Blade-Tech holsters along with all the other usual suspects) this one is now one of my favorites. Ironically today I received a custom holster from Raven Concealment for a Glock 34 with a surefire X400. I ordered that holster from them 3/12/2013 and that one like the one you made for my Sig 938 were custom orders not quick ship items. Let me say you got my holster to me faster than they can with their “in stock” items I have ordered in the past.
The fit and retention on yours is perfect and Im sure my neighbors now think Im crazy since they all saw me in my garage drawing my Sig out of my pocket testing how the hook would work and every time it functioned flawlessly.
As a typical person who does not like to wait for anything thank you for being so fast with your turn around. I can’t even get Blade-Tech to make a holster that fast and they are literally 3 miles away from me.
As a fellow craftsman and small business owner and former Michigan resident I will do all I can to tell all my friends about you and your products. Also I love the fact that you give back to your community and
help the less fortunate.
So thanks again, and keep up the great work!”

“Got my holster today and I COULDN’T be more pleased. For the last couple of years I have been carrying a snubby revolver as my concealed sidearm. During winter I was using a Desantis SuperFly in a coat pocket (straight drop in). In the spring I moved to a Glock 23. With winter approaching I was looking for a holster. Was considering the Desantis BUT I REALLY prefer the clean, tight fit of Kydex. I was getting ready to settle for the Desantis but did one more web search on pocket holsters for Glock. Decided to look at images and that’s were I found an image of the “John R”.
When I ordered I was thinking the thumb tab would be handy for my thumb, but it turns out that the way the pocket flap on my coat is constructed that all I have to do is grab the grip, press in to my side slightly while drawing and the thumb tab hangs on the seam. FANTASTIC!
Just wanted to say thanks for a great product. Wonderfully executed!”

The John R Pocket holster I received was cut perfectly along the bottom. Exactly what I wanted.
Thanks for helping with the customization.
Best,

…It is exactly what my wife needed for her Sig. She is very pleased with the quality of the kydex and the fit of the pistol. I will be sure to drop a review on FB and recommend you to anyone I can when they are looking for a holster!
Thanks,
Clint

Just received the John R for my Glock 26. I’ve tried many pocket holsters, this one is by far the best I’ve tried. Perfect fit on the gun, and a perfect fit in the pocket, I also like the fact that the muzzle end is closed, this should lessen the collection of lint, etc.
Full, safe gun coverage, great fit….what else could you ask for?

Many thanks, I am proud owner of your holsters in the middle of Europe. Excellent work.
Wish you all the best and thanks a lot again. – Jan
