if you smell a rat, you put your hand in your pocket, on the gun. From there, the draw and hit can be fast enough to beat a man holding a gun on you, if you know to sidestep as you draw. Nobody pays any attention to the fact that you have your hand in your pocket. In bad weather, I simply 'palm" rig and all, to and from the coat pocket, where Velro keeps it in one position. In bad weather, a belt rig requires you to 'clear" TWO outer garments before you can draw.
This rig is also out of the way of a pack, its harness and the rifle (either slung or in your hands). The pocket 9's weigh less than a lb. The 45 gr bullets mean that the 7 rd load adds less than 2 ozs, so the loaded gun weighs no more than an alloy chief .38, with boot grips and 158 gr ammo in it. It's also smaller than the .38, more powerful, lays a lot flatter in your pocket, and it's more controlable in rapidfire. It's not something you can practice with much, unless you use what amounts to 380 type 9mm reloads. I do so, but I also practice with the 9mm alloy commander with .22lr conversion unit and the airsoft. i've got literally a million draws and 200k rds fired thru cocked and locked SA autopistols, so not much live practice is required, for practical stuff Ie, sub 5m).
