Good holster
If you buy this holster don't just try it a few times the day you buy it. The retention can be a bit thick and needs to be worn in a bit. Having the retention as tight as it is from the manufacturer can make it stick to the pistol to well like even after drawing. After probably 30-50 times drawing with it the retention is a little looser so you can use it and not bring it out with the gun on draw. I've been using this holster for a couple of months now with my hellcat and absolutely like it. It is easy to just put in the pocket and go. I have lots of experience with many quality kydex holsters and this one is definitely a quality one. I absolutely recommend removing the holster from the pocket for reholster it is worth the extra bit of safety. The only thing I would say the holster could use is something to break up the outline of the gun. It pushes the pistol right up against my pocket and you can easily see that there is a pistol in my pocket. Something like the DeSantis Superfly design but I'm not sure if that's possible with kydex or this holster design.
Good job guys!
So I ordered one of these a few months back and I was initially disappointed because it was the wrong color and the retention for the pistol was terrible. I contacted customer service and they were great about getting my holster swapped out for the correct color. I just today received the new holster and I was pleasantly surprised: everything about it was exactly the opposite of what I complained about in the first place. This time they sent the correct color and the retention was exactly what I've come to expect from Vedder Holsters. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who has considered getting one of these but was unsure about it. I was in the same boat and now I'm thoroughly satisfied with the product. Thanks Vedder for the great customer service.
Pocket Locker Holster
The holster is very well made, with a positive fit. I was a bit hesitant to have the curve and thumb tab added. However, they both work as advertised. Holster stays put in the pocket but the handgun comes out clean when drawing. The thumb tab is a real game changer for pocket carry!
Nice Well Built Holster
SigP238 with Crimson Trace Green Laserguard. It fits well and is secure. Nicely polished and no sharp edges. Should last a long time.
The Best
You need this for your LCP or other pocket gun. Like with other types of holsters, Vedder does it the best. Total protection for the trigger. Perfectly polished. No sharp edges.
I recommend getting the thumb tab option. You will learn to use it so you can pop the gun out before draw and ensure only the gun comes out of the pocket. Very satisfying click.
Excellent pocket holster for my p365 wish they made one for my G26
Excellent pocket holster for my SIG P365 how i wish that they also made it for my Glock 26 Gen 5 . Keep up the great work. I recommend this product to a friends and family.
Love the Pocket Locker
I have two of them. So I purchased one and loved it enough to buy another. The size and quality is great. It curves and gives you the positioning you need. It also has the curved point to catch on my pocket to make it easier to pull the gun. Easy to reinsert the gun, but must be removed from the pocket. The only con's I have, is that they don't have enough variations. Meaning the gun I have, doesn't have the option for a laser.
Great
So this pocket holster is way better than the soft type pocket holsters. The design is minimal and fits in my EMS pant pockets w/ very little printing and the curve and thumb ramp is a great feature. The only negative i can find is that the holster is very slick. I have my pistol in my pocket for 48hrs plus. If you have big pockets like 511 or similar brand and you are laying down the holster can slip out of pocket.But other than that its a 5 out of 5.
LCPII pocket locker
I believe Vedder is second to none in quality holsters. That being said. I have to say that I don't particularly care for this holster. It just doesn't seem to fit the pocket of my work pants right. And is difficult to draw easily from. No fault of Vedder mind you. Obviously no one can R&D every gun in every pair of pants. The holster is of excellent quality. Looks great in storm grey carbon. Fit and finish is flawless, retention is very good. Speed and customer service is absolutely outstanding! They delivered exactly what I expected, as always. It does ride well in other clothing, but tends to slide out of something like a pair of cargo shorts when sitting. Although I prefer to carry a larger gun IWB whenever possible. (And my light tuck is perfect, by the way) I did test it out a little bit. I would definitely recommend this product. The quality is top notch. Pocket carry, I suppose just has it's own unique challenges. Combine the trigger protection of kydex with the stickiness of a soft holster and it just might be the best pocket holster ever. Not sure if that's possible. But in a perfect world, right? You can never go wrong with Vedder. Great people, great products. Highly recommend!
Wow, Wish I had found out about these sooner !
I've been carrying my Ruger LCPs (LCP, then LCP2) for several years with the DeSantis Superfly pocket holster... While it was ok, I often found that the gun would move around too much, and would stay on the gun when I would practice drawing it. The Vedder Holsters Pocket Locker solves those problems, and keeps the gun in the correct position until you need it. I highly recommend the Thumb Tab and also getting a curved model based on Right or Left hand that you will primarily use the gun with. The curved option hugs your leg more comfortably. The thumb tab gives you a very quick release, yet also allows you to also have the option to draw the gun by simply grabbing the grip, and pulling it out with a rearward motion, which allows the holster to catch on the pocket, quickly separating the gun from the holster. I now have two of these, one for my Ruger LCP2, and one for my Sig Sauer P365. I highly recommend these holsters, and am confident that you won't find a better holster, at ANY price. With this holster your gun is also sealed off from body sweat and moisture, and it also helps keep pocket lint and debris out of the action. If you are on the fence about buying one of these, JUST DO IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! I showed this to a friend of mine that also has the LCP2, and he is ordering one as well. I was also surprised at how fast Vedder makes and ships these custom holsters. I ordered mine on a Monday, and it was in my mailbox by Saturday (They're in Florida, and I'm in the Seattle area). I almost bought the Alabama Pocket Holster based on Hickock45's review on Youtube, which actually looks to be pretty similar, but after reading about their horrible wait times and horrible customer service, I looked elsewhere, and I'm glad I did. 5 Stars to Vedder Holsters, all the way !!! You guys ROCK, and I will be recommending your holsters to everyone I know. Thanks much ! Bill J. - Edgewood, WA
My New Winter Jacket Pocket Carry Holster
I purchased the Pocket Locker holster for my Sig P365, and I'm very happy with it. I usually carry IWB, but due to the cold winters where I live, we wear big coats, and drawing from IWB is just not realistic, so I decided to try this in my coat pocket. I found that it did NOT work on pockets that have the openings parallel to the ground (there's just not enough angle for the hook to do it's job). However, I tried it inside one of the angled pockets (if you have these, they are usually located above the outer/lower pockets, more towards your chest), and it works great! This holster is now my official winter carry method.
It took less than a week for me to receive my order. The holster looks to be well-constructed, and fits my pistol like a glove. It's got a little bit of retention, which I really like, so I don't have to worry about it slipping off accidentally. I've tried drawing many times now, and the holster has worked perfectly 100% of the time. Nice job, Vedder! I will definitely recommend this product!
sig p365 pocket locker
I have several holsters for various weapons. This holster is my favorite. it is small enough to be easily carried.Minimal printing.
you can tell something may be in my pocket, but not what.
Fits the p365 like a glove. Thumb tab works as designed.
Quality made in the U.S.A.
P365 Pocket Locker
I don't know what else you could want. From customer service to quality workmanship. Just about perfect.
Vedder Pocket holster
I have several Vedder holsters and all are good, but this one is the best. It fits the P365 perfectly, retention is excellent, finish is excellent, and the design works well. If you need a holster quickly your first stop should be Vedder.
Pocket Holster
Love my Vedder pocket holster. It fits my gun perfectly and the holster is very comfortable to carry in my pocket everyday. The customer service is also outstanding with fast shipping. I’m done searching for other holster companies. It’s Vedder for me moving forward for all my holster needs.
Perfection
Been running those crappy, soft, supposedly sticky pocket holsters for years and have never had it stay in the pocket when practice drawing.
Finally decided to go with kydex so it wouldn't collapse and be impossible to re-holster.... Man, I dunno how I lived without it!!!
Between the awesome thumb press and the pant hook, there is NO worry of the holster coming with the gun and if needed, re-holstering is a breeze!
Seriously, don't bother carrying in the pocket if you don't have one of these!!!
Pocket Locker Holster
I purchased Vedder’s Pocket Locker Holster to carry my S & W M & P 9mm Shield in my front pants pocket for those occasions when my clothes or environment make wearing a larger firearm impractical. Let me begin by saying that I am more pleased with this holster than any other holster i have ever purchased in my 40 years of concealed carry. The holster is extremely well made, custom hand fitted to my firearm, versatile and there are many options from which to choose. Two of the most important options I chose was the Thumb Release Tab and the holster “curve” which allows for a more comfortable fit and concealable weapon in your pocket. The holster covers the entire barrel preventing pocket lint, dirt and other debris from entering the barrel. The trigger is totally covered and protected that adds to the safety of a pocket carry. The holster allows for a fast and smooth draw as the hook on the holster functions as advertised catching the holster on the corner of my pocket allowing the firearm to clear the holster without coming out of my pocket with the firearm during a draw. It is made in the USA and Vedder offers a generous discount to military and LEOs. Great job Vedder.
Pocket holster
Great retention and quality. Fits better than any other pocket holster and doesn’t move. Quick and easy draw.
My favorite pocket holster!
I simply have to rave about this pocket holster! It is, by far, my favorite! Why? Two reasons: One, the barrel end is completely closed off, so, very little junk gets in the gun. Two, the Kydex material makes the holster stay clean; if any lint or anything gets on there, then you can simply wipe it off easily.
pocket locker
very happy with my pocket locker for a Sig P365. Retention is perfect, thump press works great-it gives good retention but allows you to draw it unhindered. Fit and finish is very high quality.
Pocket Locker
Got one for Kimber Micro 9. Fits perfect. You need to practice!
Thumb release is a must, and as you draw you have to pull up and back, as to hook the “hook” on your pants pocket. Works great with practice!!
P365 Excellent fit
My P365MS also has the manual safety and I was concerned about an earlier reviewer's complaint that the holster knocked the safety off. Knowing that Vedder offered an unconditional guarantee, I decided to go ahead with my order, also adding the thumb tab. So glad that I did as I have been totally satisfied with my holster. It has been a perfect fit, not only for my P365 but my pocket as well. Very well pleased with the fit and finish of this holster.
Pocket Locker Holster
Love the holster and the black raptor kydex. Perfect for my Ruger LCP2 and allows me to carry when in gym shorts or my attire won't allow me to carry OWB or IWB.
P365 Pocket Locker Holster
I could write a long glowing review but really all I need to say this holster is damn near perfect. Vedder makes awesome products and I will buy from them again.
Best Pocket holster.
I just got this and love the retention and thumb brake. Will buy again from Vedder.
Well made, but large
I bought this for a Beretta Nano. The holster arrived quickly It's well made, sturdy, and will likely last a long time. Unfortunately, this is way bigger than it needs to be. I do pocket carry and exclusively use kydex holsters due to their thinness and fit in the pocket compared to other materials. While this holster is quality and well made, it's just too big to be useful.
The holster has about a half inch + 'seem' sealed at the bottom. This completely covers the end of the barrel, but it also adds over a half inch in an area that doesn't have a lot of room to begin with. All of my other kydex pocket holsters for this gun (and others) end where the barrel of the gun does and function great. For some reason this has another half inch which causes the holster to ride really high with the grip too near the top of the open pocket for me.
Also, the kydex is so thick that I might as well have bought a thin leather one. It's also much wider than any other one. This was my first Vedder holster, and it's definitely quality, it's just useless to me due to its bulk and size. I've since bought another kydex holster from another maker which is perfect.

Vedder holsters are great all around
I have multiple LightTucks and PocketLockers. I have all Sigs ranging from some of the old double/single action pistols, to the newer striker fired options from full sized to sub-compact. Since most people shoot Glocks these days, I thought I'd state that Vedder works great Sigs too. I carry IWB at about four-o'clock, depending on what I'm wearing. They don't print, their very quick and easy to get on and off for things like restroom breaks. The ease of on and off is probably the top reason I locked onto Vedder after trying so many others. I have to tighten the screws every so often but to be expected. The PocketLocker is great in the winter when I wear long parkas or overcoats making access to IWB cumbersome. My P365 and P290 fit in my jeans pocket with little to no print and I'm a small guy. They work even better for friends who are bigger than me with bigger pockets. I recommend the curved configuration if you plan to use these in you pants pocket. Lastly, Vedders customer service is the best. I've had one occasion where the holster didn't fit. It was for a first edition P226 made in Germany, and the new holsters are built for the slightly reshaped, new P226s. Vedder took my return with no questions asked. Great products. Great company.
Nice holster
I enjoy my pocket holsters for deep concealed carry. Vedder is a great holster maker.
Pocket Locker Holster
Solid product. Excellent, secure fit for my Glock G42. Fully encloses the trigger guard with solid kydex, which is very important when pocket carrying a striker fired gun. Deploys firearm quickly and reliably from the pocket and if you do happen to screw up your draw, the thumb ledge feature allows you to separate your gun from the holster with a push of the thumb. Very thoughtful design.
The holster is a bit on the large side, but I carry my G42 in cargo shorts pocket with an untucked t-shirt and it works for me. The G42 is pushing it as a pocket gun, so maybe a smaller gun like a Ruger LCP or S&W Bodyguard reduce the size of the holsters that fit those guns.
Pocket carry doesn't make for a lightning fast draw, but the Pocket Locker makes it a bit smoother and less likely you'll draw your gun still inside your holster. Not a good feeling. Practice drawing at home like crazy with an unloaded gun before carrying it on the street!
Better than I imagined
This holster is an excellent addition to any lineup and works great!
Too big for my needs
I purchased this holster for a Ruger LC9S to carry in the summer wearing shorts. The holster is very well made and fit the gun tightly. When trying to draw the pistol the holster would come out with the gun even when using the thumb release. I'm sure you could heat the holster to loosen it. The reason I returned the holster is because it printed so clearly that anyone could see I was carrying a pistol in my pocket. The customer service is outstanding and I exchanged it for a different model. I highly recommend Vedder holsters the quality of the product and service is top notch!
Pocket locker
My second one. Perfect for me
What's not to like?
This is what I've been looking for; secure, comfortable, easy draw with thumb release, concealable, very well designed and manufactured, delivered quickly as I asked. Great holster for G42 pocket carry.
Almost perfect
This is my second Vedder and like the first it's very well made. I like that the muzzle is closed, which really helps with pocket lint. Slide guard and thumb release are well proportioned. My only problem was that it was not well formed for my Sig 365's manual safety, which is what I ordered. The slide guard knocked it off safe when holstered every time. A few minutes with a hairdryer and some pinching to re-shape did the trick. All around great pocket holster.
Deep concealment
Perfect deep concealment for my LCP II. I love the Kryptek Highlander pattern; it's a good match to the Jungle Green / Elite Earth cerakote. Good retention and the hook catches perfectly on my pocket to release. Great summer carry.
Pocket Locker for Sig P365
Great Holster, especially for summer. Your holster works great ..I am glad I got the thumb release with it. I find it works well with tactical shorts (ex LA Police Gear, or similar).. you just have to be sure it is deep enough while also wide enough to extract your weapon. Carhartt shorts are deep enough but for the P365 do not have a wide enough pocket at the top. Can't say enough good things about the holster safely securing your firearm... Great design
Good holster
So far the holster works great. Completely covers the safety and trigger. I was worried the thumb tab would be uncomfortable but I don't really notice it. I'm happy with it so far
Safe pocket carry
I like pocket carry but it can be unsafe if not done correctly. My biggest issue is that most holsters do not protect the trigger well enough. The Vedder Pocket Locker protects the trigger as well or better than any pocket holster I've ever seen. This model fully protects your weapon from lint, grime, sweat, and finish wear. I use mine with a Ruger LCP2 and it is by far my favorite pocket holster.
First Vedder, really impressed
Got for my P365...in my mind Ny holster should completely cover trigger...have solid retention...and ability to get full grip when drawing...the Pocket Locker had it all.
Excellent holster
The pocket locker is an excellent choice if you're looking to discretely carry your small frame pistol. Very sturdy with superb retention and a very satisfying click when the gun is properly holstered into it. I would recommend this holster to anyone looking to pocket carry!
Excellent and safe pocket carry.
Bought this for my LCP II. I wasn't very confident pocket carrying with one in the chamber when using my Nemesis. This holster is an all day carry, I barely notice its there. I carry confidently now and really love the thumb release tab, IMHO you should definitely get this option. I'll probably get one for my G43 soon.
Pocket Locker
Excellent safe solid pocket carry option
pocket locker Springfield XDS 3.3"
rock solid retention. fits great. takes up the whole pocket which makes the hook snag on the draw. the thumb release is super helpful. highly recommend.
Glock 42 pocket locker
Just received my pocket locker for my Glock 42. Perfect Fit for summer pocket carry. The holster remains in place once the pistol is drawn. The holster protects the trigger and provides solid protection compared to soft holsters. I would recommend for anyone looking to pocket carry.
Awesome holster
Holster was a perfect fit on my xds mod 2 also have one on my sig p365 and I have no complaints. I did my research for weeks before purchasing and I will continue to do business with vedder.
Pocket Locker
Exactly what I wanted. The first one was a little tight and Vedder gladly made an adjustment. It is perfect. Great product and excellent customer service.
Pocket Holster
Great design, especially the thumb tab assist. Unfortunately, the top of my G43 peeks out with 5.11 Defender pants. Might order another for my PM9 to see if it works better.
Better Than A Glove
LCP II fit, pocket holster, thumb extension, right curve. Perfect fit. Thumb extension is a MUST get. You won't even notice the slight curve it brings (and I wear more fitted jeans). Looks like a large phone in my pocket. The first time the LCP II slid in, it clicked. It also clicked in my brain saying I made the right purchase.
Worth the money and then some.
Pocket carry is my prefered carry method and this holster is worth every penny. I carry a sccy cpx-2. This holster is perfectly molded and the the slight curve depending on the side you carry on is great. All around this is just an amazing pocket holster worth investing in.
Pocket Locke
Ordering and shipping were great, and I received the product exactly like advertised.
The quality of the product is first-rate and fits my XDS great! The only improvement I can see is the locking of the holster onto the gun. It has a light grip on the gun which I would like to see made harder or have an adjustable screw so it can be changed to suit the needs of the individual. I say this because in its current forum it is great for pocket carry, but if you are putting it in a bag, I think it can come off when not intended. This has not yet happened to me, but I would still like to see an adjustable retention screw.
The Product itself is first-rate, and I would recommend to my friend without reservation!.
Really good holster.
This is my second holster for my Ruger LCP II, and it's way better than the basic Ruger pocket holster that came with it. It has a perfectly molded shape, the pistol locks into place with a satisfying click noise, and it's just great. It still prints somewhat so there's that, and I definitely recommend the release tab and the curved design. It's very comfortable for what it is. I'll definitely buy one of these pocket lockers again in the future.
Pocket locker
My order was shipped out very fast. The quality of my pocket locker was excellent. Although I haven't had it very long the holster has been very comfortable. I will definitely continue to have vedder make my holsters from now on.
Great Product
I used to just carry a generic soft holster but the Pocket Locker is a world of difference. It has fantastic retention, great finish (black carbon), and prints less than the soft holster. I was afraid it would print more (being rigid), but I was pleasantly surprised.
Its shape also makes it "stand up" in a baggier pocket like a jacket/vest - which is something else my old holster didn't do.
Definitely sport for the extra thumb release so you can easily draw with one hand.
Secure and Comfortable Carry
I would not carry my Ruger LCPII in the nylon pocket holster supplied or one of the other "sticky" type pocket holsters due to the light trigger and no safety on the LCPII. I was carrying it IWB with a Kydex holster on my belt, which somewhat defeats the purpose of carrying a .380. The Pocket Locker was the solution -- it securely protects the entire trigger area and makes pocket carry comfortable with no worries and minimal printing. Thanks for a fine product!
Pocket locker
Finally a holster that works for me. I'm a big guy and belt holsters have always been uncomfortable. The pocket locker solved this now I can carry all day comfortably all day.also it doesn't print like my belt holsters when I would bend or reach.
Great pocket holster
I purchased this for my lcp2. The firearm snaps into place securely and the holster is very comfortable. It’s very easy to forget it’s there!
Pocket locker
I got the pocket locker for a Glock 43. It fits Perfectly. Fills the pocket as it should. Light and Minimalist as you would hope for. Covers the trigger as advertised. The thumb push off is a necessity and it works very well. I will probably purchase another for a different gun. I wish it was offered for a Ruger LCR.
Works perfectly!
Just got this holster to replace the stock pocket holster that comes with the LCP2. The Pocket Locker is a far better solution. The hard kydex prints less obviously, and feels much safer. I have had zero retention issues. Gun stays in holster, holster stays in pocket on the draw. Couldn't ask for a better product. This is my second Vedder holster, but not my last!
Great product
I love this holster. I got it with a right hand draw without the thumb tab. It works great in any pocket, even basketball shorts. My only critique is I think it could have a little more retention. I've had my Bodyguard 380 slip out of the holster when fully loaded if I jiggle it a bit. Perhaps an adjustable retention feature would be nice.
Perfect for Sig P365
Fits gun perfectly, quick turnaround,
New one
Great Holster! Perfect for pocket carry. This is my second holster from Vedder, I would highly recommend them if you’re in the market for a great holster.
Pocket holster for P365
Fit is as good as it could be with P365. Optional tab is a good idea and recommended. However, too much distance exists between the end of the pistol and the bottom of the holster such that the top of the P365 is too close to peaking out of the pocket. Fabrication of the holster may require the "extra" material at the bottom.
Pocket Locker
I am on my way to own just about every product. 3 belts, 3 holsters. I keep expecting to find at least one negative I can point out and feel smarter about myself. With the arrival of the Pocket Locker for my Shield .45, I am a failure once again. I got the American Flag design and it looks great, better than I could have imagined. The products are top notch in looks and utility. I am now trying to come up with a reason that I need another Vedder.
P938
Bought this for my wife's P938 and the fit is fantastic. It's as small a holster as you can get, and the retention is perfect. Can't recommend this holster enough!!!!
Pocket Locker
Awesome pocket holster . I have several pocket holsters , and this one by far is the best
Super nice product , and very fast turnaround , and shipping . Will buy from Vedder again .
Pocket Locker
The left handed pocket locker for my P365 is a good product. No question about it. The only reason this got 3 stars is because the width is set for the flush 10rd mag. Wish there was an option for selecting the magazine size for the P365 because the 12rd mag prints in my pocket. Have done many practice draws and the holster always stays in my pocket — functionally great.
Ruger LCP2 Pocket Locker Holster
Picked up the Pocket Locker in Storm Gray Carbon Fiber. I was a little apprehensive on the thumb tab, but am glad I went for it. The ergonomics are really spot on. My thumb just looks for the tab when my hands are in my pockets. Retention and finish are good and the trigger guard is really good. The only thing I didn't like was the overall size of the holster. It's a little longer than necessary and because of that, my gun is actually forced to sit higher which exposes the grip to anyone perusing my pockets. I'm probably going to try to grind the end off and hope I don't crack it. Other than that, it's an outstanding product and 100% better/ safer than the soft cushy holster that came with the gun.
Pocket Locker
Since I already have a Pocket Locker for myself I figured I would buy one for my son for Christmas. As with all my previous Vedder holsters 8 to be exact. The fit and finish is perfect and the gun fits like a glove. The Thumb release allows quick and easy draw from the front pocket and the hook if needed will catch the pocket to prevent the holster from coming out of the pocket. I truly believe you will not be disappointed with the Vedder Pocket Locker. As I always say " Its better with Vedder". P.S My Son loves his Pocket Locker.
Future Features?
5 Stars for the holster as is. Very happy with it. The only improvement I could see would be to add some type of feature for screw adjustable retention (I've seen another brand which uses a pocket/screw setup directly in front of the trigger guard area) and some type of pad/flap/etc., on the viewable side of the holster as it can "print" in less than loose pants. Not sure how this would be accomplished without affecting access, though.
Great Product
This is my second Vedder holster and my first pocket locker. I love the way they make their holsters. It seems as if the use the perfect amount of material. There not heavy,bulky or funky looking. I’ll be honest I don’t think I’ll buy from anyone else. They have a standard of satisfying the customer. The gun pulls nicely out of my pocket and the holster stays put.
A Vedder Christmas Gift
I am a big fan of Vedder hosters so it makes sense that a Vedder Pocket holster would be a nice gift for my son. Vedder makes quality holsters and has the nicest customer service folks in the business. The materials and Craftsmanship is outstanding. The Thumb brake aids in the removal of the firearm for a quick and clean draw. Worn with Jeans, slacks, or cargo pants you will hardly notice the gun is in your pocket and no one will notice it either. You can't go wrong with a Vedder Pocket Locker. Like I always say " Its better with Vedder"
Pocket Locker
The Vedder Pocket locker is a well made and well though out holster that fills the bill for a comfortable and concealable pocket holster. Fit and Finish as with all my Vedder holsters is well done. The Hook and Thumb tab allow quick release no matter which one you use. Again, as I always say " Its better with Vedder".
pocket holster for Ruger LC9s Pro
This holster works perfectly for me. I had to experiment for a few minutes to find the right draw angle, but when I got that right, it was amazing. Fast, easy, smooth draw. Minimum profile, with an auto at least. I never worry that someone might realize I'm carrying. Can't draw well while seated, but that's true of any pocket holster. I use the extended clip, which gives me a big advantage in getting a firm grip. I recommend extended clips for autos for this holster. Either way, it will be my carry method for this pistol - until Vedder begins making shoulder holsters.
Pocket Locker
By far best pocket carry out there. Have tried many. My Lc9s/Red Crimson fits perfect. Doesn't move in pocket or print. Easy draw and clicks in place. Vedder simply the best.
Love Vedder Holsters!
The Pocket Locker is PERFECT for my P365!
Thank you Vedder Holster for the quality product you make!
LCP II
Great holster. This is the third pocket locker I have bought.
Ruger LCP2
Purchased for my Ruger LCP2 with the thumb tab/release and right hand curve! The fit is pefect and it is very secure (ie can't shake the gun loose). I opted for the curved version to aid in concealment and don't find it prints any more, possibly less than the stock cloth holster. I will say the curve makes it a little tricky to get it to catch on your pocket if you don't make it a point to pull the gun back towards the rear as you draw (given videos I've seen this is less of an issue with the straight version). Not really a huge issue in most pockets but if your pants are very loose or you are using cargo pockets it could be a issue. I would definitely recommend the thumb release option though to mitigate any issues with the draw. I have really large hands and can easily get a good grip around the pistol with it in the holster (something I couldn't do with the stock holster).I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a secure pocket holster!
GREAT FOR CONCEAL CARRY
I JUST RECEIVED MY SECOND POCKET LOCKER FROM VEDDER HOLSTERS. BOTH OF MY GLOCKS FIT VERY NICELY INTO THE POCKET LOCKER AND FIT GREAT IN THE POCKET. THE THUMB RELEASE TAB IS MUST AND MAKES REACHING FOR YOUR GUN AND RELEASE OF YOUR GUN OUT OF THE HOLSTER SMOOTH.
Pocket Holster
Purchased 2. One for my Kimber Micro 9 with the new 8 round mag and one for my Sig Sauer P365 with 12 round mag. Both with thumb release and both with body curve. I,m 6' 145 lbs. wear slim jeans and you can't tell what's in my pocket. Easy draw out and return but you have to practice a little. Excellent product couldn't be happier. I have many Vedder Holsters and also use the light tuck with claw for AIWB carry.
Great Design
Great option when you just don’t want to carry around the waist. Fuller pants, like cargo pants or shorts are perfect. No imprint. Thumb release is a must. Comfortable.
Pocket locker
My second pocket locker, I love these holster because they are so comfortable to carry a shield, xds, Glock 43 etc. I wear cargo shorts most of the time here in Arizona and this holster is perfect. Easy to draw with the thumb tab and hook ensures that the pistol comes out of the holster quickly. The kydex hasn't marred any of the finish on my pistols and is very concealable with a large enough pocket
Excellent option
I picked up the Pocket Locker for my p365. Gives me one more quick option. Rides perfectly in my cargo pants. Definitely recommend the thumb tab which pops it loose instantly. Gun slides safety out the pocket while holster stays put. 100% pleased.
Very Happy With Purchase
I purchased this holster due to not being able to find an IWB holster that doesn’t require a belt and that didn’t have a cheap looking clip for beltless carry. This pocket holster is great! It hides the shape of the gun, fits snug, and works consistently. I looked at comparable pocket holsters like Alien Gears and theirs looked cheap and too minimalistic to hide the shape of the gun. They also didn’t have one fitted for my handgun which is strange because I carry a very popular model. I also am hoping Vedder comes out with an IWB that has a magnetic or clip style system to a kydex holster that works perfect for beltless carry.
Squared away
Works great for my G42. It doesn’t have that kydex “pop” like belt holsters do which surprised me at first. After I thought about it, it makes sense that it wouldn’t as a pocket holster. I would buy again.
Pocket Tuck
Purchased to replace a DeSantis pocket holster for my Kahr PM9.I was somewhat concerned that the hardshell construction might make it less pocket friendly. On the contrary, I think it improves performance. The flexible DeSantis would shift in the pocket when moving. The Pocket Locker stays in place with movement improving confidence the gun will not fall. The draw with the thumb tab is easy and the claw holds the holster in the pocket. My holster is bent for right handed draw. If I flattened it and bent another thumb tab, it would work in either pocket. The Kahr fits perfectly and clicks in place when insertd. This is an excellent pocket holster with perfect concealment and reliable presentation.
I also have a Light Tuck with a claw I carry appendix and am very pleased with this holster. Different clothing dictates alternative carry methods. I can carry in the 3-4 o’clock position with the Light Tuck as well so I have about 100% of carry conditions covered, but I would be open to a shoulder holster for winter carry with heavy clothing and vehicle travel. Heads up Vedder, I am waiting for that shoulder holster !
Pocket Locker
Bought the pocket locker for my Sig P238. Keeps gun safe and secure in pocket of jeans with minimum if any printing. Enclosed holster keeps lint and fibers from barrel and slide. Thumb release makes it easy to remove from holster. When wearing it don't even know its there. Great holster, great quality. Now I own two Vedder holsters, The Light Tuck for my Glock 19 and now the Pocket Locker, Extremely happy and pleased with both.
Awesome
Bought 2 pocket lockers one for left hand draw and one for right hand draw. Love these holsters. Built great and look amazing
Great Product!
I ordered the Pocket Locker for my new Sig P365. I got the right hand with the curve and the bump. It works really well inside my suit pants pocket, nice and smooth, well fitted and safe. A quality product once again.
P938 pocket locker
This is the only way I would consider carrying a "cocked and locked" pocket pistol. The gun snaps in place, the trigger is well covered and so is the safety. Thumb tab allows a clean, consistent draw. Printing is not an issue as I'm not a "skinny jeans" kind of guy. My Sig P938 now goes wherever I do. Nobody ever sees it, but the Realtree Xtra Dark Battleship pattern just makes even more awesome.
Pocket locker
Best pocket holster in the market. I would definitely recommend this to all the people how do pocket carry.
Pocket Locker
I've pocket carried a handgun for over 20 years. I bought the Pocket Locker for my Sig P 365. It is very comfortable to carry and fits the gun like a glove. It is, in fact, more comfortable to carry than my old flexible pocket holster (Blackhawk TecGrip Pocket Holster) I previously carried my Kahr CM9 in. It prints even less, too. It seems that the weight of the pistol is spread out farther in the pocket, so the pistol feels lighter. I highly recommend the Thumb Release Tab. It insures that the holster won't come out with the pistol, no matter the circumstances.
Imprints in my 511s
It’s a quality holster but really imprints in the pocket. It’s very obvious in the pocket.
Good but prints a ton
Holster has good retention and fits great. Get it with the thumb release and hook. My biggest complaint is this holster prints very easily in the pocket. An improved design making a piece to give the mold a more flat look would be better for concealement.
Pocket holster
I’ve carried a lcp2 since it came out and kept it on a sticky holster but the gun started to rust. I found this holster when looking for alternatives for pocket holsters. I absolutely love this holster and will carry nothing else. It’s low profile and love the thumb release. Worth every penny don’t hesitate you will love this holster
Good holsters. I would buy another one if I need it
My first pocket locker was for a Kimber Micro 9. Fit is perfect. It holds the pistol securely and almost jumps off when I push the thumb tab. Never had a hang up or had to use the pocket hook to get my pistol out.
My second pocket locker is for a Ruger LC9. It holds the pistol securely but is tight and harder to get out of the holster. I have to use the pocket hook every time. The pistol drags in the holster when being drawn. Both holsters are comfortable and protect the pistol very well.
I recommend that you buy one.
***VH COMMENT***
Thank you for taking the time to review your holsters, we are glad that you are overall happy. All of our holsters are handcrafted to order so, there may be some slight variance between each one. We are more than happy to adjust the second holster for you so it is easier getting out. Just reach out to one of our team member and we will be happy to get this set up for you. Have a great day!
Could be better
I got this for my SW Bodyguard with factory red laser. It is worlds better than what I was previously using, But still not great. For starters, I wear loose fitted cargo shorts and you can clearly see I have a gun in my pocket because the holster looks like a gun. Then it is not a tight fit in the holster. The gun rattles and shakes in the holster. Then, you should be able to completely draw the gun with the thumb release. But even after using the thumb release, you can’t easily get the gun out of your pocket. You still need to use the hook, to hook it on your pocket when drawing. I own 3 light tuck holsters and love them off. This is my first time not being happy with a purchase.
***VH COMMENT***
Thank you for taking the time to review your holster. We are so sorry to hear that you are not happy with your most holster. The holster should not fit like you are describing and we will absolutely ave someone reach out to you to get this taken care of. Have a great day!
Vedder Holsters
The pocket locker is my second vedder holster. I also have the lighttuck with the claw. Both of the holsters are premium quality and prefect fit for my Glock 43. Vedder holsters are one of the best holsters I have owned. I totally recommend them to anyone.
Perfect For P365
I ordered a Light Tuck for my P365 soon after I got it and while it is a great little holster, it was not quite what I wanted for a quick on/off use. This one does it perfectly for quick short trips around town. It fits the gun perfectly, slips in the pocket easily, draws smoothly, and conceals well. What not to love? I do recommend getting the thumb tap option.
Amazing quality
The quality of this holster is tier 1. Great craftsmanship and great materials. Bargain for price
P365 pocket locker
Fits my P365 like a glove. This pocket holster is very secure and doesn’t imprint at all. Great holster!!!!
P365 Pocket Locker Holster
After using my P365 Pocket Locker Holster for about a month I just love it! It fits the contour of my leg and my P365 snaps in nice and firm. Also the thumb tab is an excellent idea. Best holster i have ever onwed. THANKS
Pocket holster
Great holster for summertime when cargo shorts, t-shirt and flip flops. Great for throwing in pocket to run to store or some window shopping away. Easy to draw with the tab. My go to holster during summer when I’m just running around. Great Holster.
Pocket Locker
Excellent design, materials and craftsmanship. Attention to details make this an excellent fit for concealed carry. Could not be more pleased.
Pocket Locker for Sig P365
Love my new pocket locker! Great retention and audible click. Edges have been sanded down and buffed so nothing gets into barrel. Both sides of the slide covered so no contact/tearing of pockets. Thumb release tab is great and highly recommended. Draw is amazing with the hook form at bottom catches on to pocket insuring a clean draw. Couldn't be happier and will be ordering a Light Tuck for aiwb carry soon. Amazing customer service as well. Thank you Vedder!
Pocket Locker
I have been trying to find a pocket holster for my kimber micro .380 that works with my current wardrobe, since i dont want to spend a ton of money buying all new pants. This holster is a near miss. The retention is great, you can shake it upside down and your gun wont fall out. I wish the thumb release was a little further back on the gun, it is difficult to reach, and the holster will come out on the draw if you arent careful. It also prints a less-obvious-but still-there "L" shape, due to its thickness. Im still going to keep it, ill find a use for it, or maybe in the future when its time to buy new pants ill find some that will work better.
Sig P365 Pocket Holster
Received this today in black carbon fiber with thumb release. Could not be happier, sealed bottom to keep pocket lint etc out of barrel, all edges buffed smooth, solid positive click retention. Best kydex holster I now own. First Vedder and from the quality & price of this one it won’t be the last.
Outstanding Quality
My Pocket Locker fits my SIG P365 perfectly and has a smooth (and safe) draw from pocket carry. The holster comfortably fits all types of pant pockets from shorts to jeans to dress slacks. Printing is minimal and concealment is easy. Zero complaints. Highly recommended.
Amazing Holster
I recently, in the last month, bought one of these holsters. I didn't want an in-band holster and this holster was an amazing alternative. It fits perfectly in my pocket and fits the weapon, m&p shield .40, perfectly also. It isn't too snug and allows for a quick draw action. The thumb draw option was a nice addition and also helps with quickly pulling the weapon from the holster. I have already and will continue to recommend Vedder to all my friends and family.
P238 Pocket Locker Holster
This is a well made holster and fits my P238 perfect. Great retention. Unfortunately the holster rolls around in my 5:11 tactical front pants pocket. The grip of the pistol does not position to the pocket opening. When wearing jeans it does stay in place but it does print. I would still purchase this holster again. It is much more comfortable to wear in the pocket.
Perfectly fitted
Great holster! This is the second one I have bought. Have a right and a left that fit botb my LC9S and my wife's LC380.
Great pocket option
This is my second version of this holster. I ordered a thumb tab version for my Glock 42 with a crimson Trace laser and a non thumb tab version for my other Glock 42. I prefer the non thumb tab. As you may know the Glock 42 is probably the largest pocket carry 380, but with this holster I feel confident with it. Minimal printing and easy acces.
Pocket locker
Pocket locker for the PPS m2. Excellent fit, and craftsmanship. Thicker kydex then expected. Fits in only 1 pair of shorts I own, not sure any change could be made, to make it fit others. I would and have recommended to others.
Get it
Thought about this for some time. Should have done it sooner. Great pocket holster. Really nice quality and holds gun well. I got the one with thumb tab and that feature is great.
Pocket locker
Excellent holster for my Glock 43
Pocket holster expectations
The pocket locker is by far the best pocket holster I have ever used. I own both the LCP and Glock 43 model, and carry both in jeans, shorts and suit pants on a daily basis. If I were to find one critique with it, I would say that the Glock 43 model appears to have SLIGHTLY more kydex material than the LCP model, proportionate to the size of the gun, rendering it disproportionately larger. Now this is not a serious gripe as it still conceals like a dream, just something I noticed when I first compared them.
Great pocket holster
Love this thing and use it all the time now! I ordered mine with the thumb tab but found it to dig into my leg and uncomfortable, so I heated it with a heat-gun and straightened it. (I used my pistol to finalize the form) works fantastic and it was delivered super quick!
Pocket locker
It does provide a nice wide footprint that will keep the gun upright so it's probably best used in cargo or tactical pants. Probably not good for jeans.
Pocket locker holster
Great Holster. High quality craftsmanship and close attention to detail. Highly recommended.
Pocket Holster
Works -- Now have two of them: 1 Ruger LCP, 1 Glock 42
The thumb release on the pocket holster sold me
And the lack of an 8 week lead time like 'other' companies was an added bonus. Would recommend
Pocket Locker
I ordered two of these, one for my PM9 with Crimson Trace laser, and one for a Smith and Wesson Bodyguard with factory laser. I think these are the best pocket holsters I've ever had. They're thin, and don't add a lot of bulk to your pocket. They're light and secure, but allow for a reasonably quick presentation of the pistols. All in all, a great buy and a great piece of equipment.
Fred Schloss
Fits S&W Bodyguard well
I purchased this holster to use with my S&W Bodyguard. I have had a soft pocket holster for this gun but it always made me nervous not having the trigger protected by something that wouldn’t give. I found this holster and have been pleased with it so far. It holds the gun securely but allows for fast removal with the thumb push location on it. The only drawback that I’ve noticed is that I use this holster mostly when out cycling and due to the slick nature of kydex and my cycling jerseys it tends to rotate in my jersey pocket more than the soft holster did. Not a fault of Vedder just the nature of Kydex. I may attach some grip tape to the back of the holster to help prevent this from happening in the future. Overall I’m very pleased with this holster.
Didn't work for me
I recently purchased one of these for my Sig P238. The quality of this holster is very good, just like the others I have bought. But I couldn't get it to stay upright in my pocket. It kept rolling over, ending with the grip on the far side of the pocket from the opening.
I wear pants (Vertx) with large front pockets. The Pocket Locker I have for my G43 (with a Streamlight light/laser attachment) works great, probably because the gun is bigger and, with the Streamlight, the weight is distributed more evenly.
For me, I had to go another direction. For you, if you wear pants with smaller pockets, or if you're using a different gun, this holster may suit you very well.
P365 pocket locker
I've carried the pocket locker for anotheanother about a week and I love it. Usually carry it as a back up but if I'm in a hurry and just running to grocery store I'll throw it in my pocket and go.
Great pocket hoister!!
I have a Pocket Locker for my Sig P365, Ruger LC9s, LCPII, and Glock 42 and 43. Great fit, really appreciate the selection of patterns and colors, and the super fast shipping. I recommend the thumb tab for positive holster draw. Just the ticket when conditions warrant pocket carry. Fantastic product!
Pocket Locker
Lightweight and durable. Perfect fit over trigger/trigger guard. Great communication and customer service. Very reasonably priced and quick shipping. I had a special request on the build that Vedder did not have as an option, but they came through no issue.
Pocket Locker
I ordered one of these in Kryptek Pontus for my wife's Glock 42. It looks great and fits great. Vedder is Great too. They have always shipped my orders fast. Communication and customer service is awesome.
Pocket holster
Seems to fit perfectly, works great,l would recommend
Just what i was looking for
I wear cargo shorts most of the year in Arizona, and wanted a pocket holster for my xds. This holster fits my gun pefectly, and the thumb tab releases the gun easily. I can draw it very fast this way, it is nearly invisible and so comfortable i almost forget its there. Works with cargo style pants as well.
Excellent Pocket Holster for Smith & Wesson M&P Shield
I’m a pocket carrier and actually own several pocket holsters for several pistols. I purchased 2 holsters that are made of a nylon-like, synthetic material. They’re both made by a popular pocket holster manufacturer. They work OK, but sometimes they come out of the pocket when I draw my weapon. I decided to purchase a M&P Shield w/ green laser and wanted to try something new, innovative and practical, because I wasn’t completely satisfied with my other 2 pocket holsters. They worked well, but the fact that they sometimes come out of my pocket on the draw just bothered me a bit. I researched YouTube and found Vedder Holsters. My Vedder arrived today. All I can say is that they make the BEST pocket holsters on the market. They are well crafted. The curve works very well and keeps the holster in my pocket. Also, the thumb release tab is awesome. It works like a charm and keeps my holster secured and allows me to draw my weapon with ease. Thanks for a great product.
Pocket Locker
Bought a Pocket Locker for my Glock 43. Love it. I ordered the thumb tab and the curve options. Highly recommend both. Does it print? It looks to me much like the large iphone I carry in the front pocket of jeans so I don’t worry about the print. In suit type pants it disappears. I don’t pocket carry as a first choice but 100 degree days and light clothing makes the ability to pocket carry much appreciated. Good quality product. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Vedder again.
First and last
Great product. This is the first pocket holster I have purchased, but it will be my go to for any future EDC needs. Smooth edges, solid, love the thumb release. My M&P Shield 45 is a bit big for a pocket gun, but the sleek contours of this holster blend it in nicely. Well done. Vedder from here on out for all my concealed carry needs.
Great Product
Vedder produces a great product. This is my third holster from them and my second pocket locker. It contours well.
As far as printing, no matter what it'll look like something in your pocket but I believe the outline of the pocket locker is less defined than a soft holster.
pocket locker for Glock 43
This is my second pocket holster - the first pocket holster was by another brand - I liked it a lot. The Vedder Pocket Locker far exceeds the first pocket holster I owned. Fits in the pocket nicely. Draws easily. a simple...clean design. Does what it's suppose to do.
Perfect fit!!!
I picked one up in black for a Sig P238. The fit and finish is great. It’s very comfortable in the pocket of my jeans and secure. You can use the hook to draw or the thumb tab which I prefer. There’s not a sharp unpolished edge to be found anywhere. All in all a great holster and exactly what I was looking for in a pocket holster. Love Vedder products and service!!!!
Fine pocked holster
Best pocket holster I have found. Own two. My only complaint is that it prints a bit more than some others. I have used stick on Velcro hook and loop material to attach a leather flap to the out side like many pocket holsters do.
Great holster
Perfect fit and exactly as advertised. Very happy with this purchase however there is some 'pri nting' and I would say that anyone looking closely could tell you were carrying. There are a few dishonest reviews here that claim zero printing but that's just not true. If the molding was perfectly flat there would be zero printing but it's just not... Instead it fits the shape of my Kimber micro 9 perfectly... As advertised. I would recommend, however as I said if you want absolute concealment this may not do the trick.
***VH COMMENT***
Thank you for taking the time to review your PocketLocker holsters. We are sorry to hear that you are not 100% satisfied with the holster. The printing can depend on gun model, pocket style and body shape. If you are wearing very tight pants, for example, there may be more printing. We do appreciate your feedback and hope you have a great day!
Pocket Locker for Glock 42 in police blue carbon fiber
This holster is awesome. The lockup is great and it is nice to have some retention in your pocket. The thumb ramp is a great design and aids in drawing the pistol very well. I will be getting this design for my next pocket holster for sure!
Pocket Locker
Very pleased with the purchase. This is my second vetter holster
Solid
Exactly what I was looking for. The 43 is a great pocket carry with the tlr6. Just depends on what you are wearing. Solid holster for it.
Pocket holster
Best pocket holster period !!!
Pocket Locker
I purchased the pocket locker for my wife's Bodyguard.380. She wanted something that she could have ease of carry within here purse. This isthe first Kydex holster that she has ever owned, and so far she really likes it. The holster fits really close to the gun and has a really secure grip without making it hard to retrieve the gun. The quality of the workmanship is very nice ant the edges are really smooth. So far, there have been no complaints. She especially likes the thumb tab that make it easier to remove the gun from the holster. By making the holster ambidextrous she has the ability to use numerous styles of handbags and just slip the gun in the inside zipper pocket. All and all this is a well designed pocket holster and my wife loves it. Thanks for the excellent quality and the quick turn around time. I highly recommend this company and will be purchasing a few more holsters in the future
Pocket Locker LCP II
I have found the Pocket Locker for my LCP II to be well made from good materials. The thumb ledge allows for positive removal of the gun from the holster while drawing. The holster came in a nice draw-string cloth bag. I will be ordering more holsters from Vedder in the future.
The Pocket Locker is AWESOME!!
The Pocket Locker is truly an AWESOME pocket holster. It fits my micro nine perfect, it's comfortable and it looks like you just have a phone in your pocket. There is zero printing of a pistol. Plus it's a great deal. PERFECT HOLSTER!!
POCKET LOCKER
My Pocket Locker fits my Glock 42 perfectly, holds it securely and yet the pistol is easy to release by using the optional thumb tab. The holster's edges have been rolled and are soft to touch. Just a well made and comfortable pocket holster.
Perfect Pocket Holster
I have carried a few pocket holsters for my LCP and this one is by far the best. The nice round lines of this holster allow it to go deep in the pocket and stay there for maximum comfort. I also appreciate the superior customer service as I received my holster within a week. I will absolutely be a return customer for my next holster needs.
First Kydex hol
This is my first Kydex holster I’ve ever owned, and so far I really like it. I can only pocket carry due to my job, and until now have only used the Blackhawk and uncle mike type universal holsters. This holster fits much more closely to the gun, and has a much less bulky feel to it. The only complaint I have with the holster so far is that I hear a little squeak sometimes when I walk/move. I’m not sure if it’s the Kydex rubbing on the gun or the Kydex rubbing on itself where the two sides are joined together. I intend to melt the pieces together to see if that takes care of the problem. No other complaints about this holster.
Perfect holster
I’ve carried different pistols in my pocket more than any other carry method. I was a huge fan of Mika holsters and I still would be if it weren’t for the Pocket Locker. It’s in a league of its own. Gorgeous carbon fiber finish, perfect retention, excellent conceal ability for my P380... what’s not to like?
I strongly recommend the thumb push. The hook on the holster will do the job when you draw, but the thumb push is a good option to have.
Pocket Locker for LC380, LC9, LC9S, and LC9S Pro
Just received my new Pocket Locker yesterday. It is fantastic! Thank you for grinding/buffing the bottom edge off so it would sit in my pocket as deep as possible. The pockets on my bibs are plenty deep but they are kind of open at the top so I didn't want it peeking out. Perfect! Thank you!
Pocket Locker for RM380
Great solution for pocket carry of my RM380 (or any small pistol). The retention is secure, but the gun is easily and positively released with the aid of the thumb break. The overall fit and finish of the holster leaves no room for criticism. It's worth every penny in order to safely carry in pocket. Highly recommended!
Quality
I have a pocket holster from Alabama Holsters and now this Vedder pocket holster. I am equally impressed with both; however, the retention on this Vedder holster is superior and the speed from shop to my door crushed Alabama Holster. Will only order from Vedder from here on out.
Pocket Locker Reveiw
Just want to thank Vedder Holsters for a Great Holster! The Pocket Locker Holds my Smith & Wesson perfectly!
Very high quality holster
This is easily my favorite pocket holster I own. The material is tough and durable. Will not be breaking any time soon. It is very comfortable to carry and never notice any issues sitting, standing, walking with it moving around in my pocket. Never had any issues drawing the holster between the thumb press and the hook this holster stays very secure in you pocket. And easy to reholster after.
The only issue I have with this holster is that when carrying, it makes a very clear L-shape in your pocket. Most people won't know it's a gun, but other people who carry will definitely be able to tell. This issue could easily be solved by having the hook part of the kydex come out level with the side of the slide and not from the bottom middle of the barrel. If vedder made it like this, it would be the same distance away from your leg as the grip and would just look like a square in your pocket which could easily be seen as a phone or wallet or whatever. Not a perfect L-shape. This is my only issue with this very solid, well built pocket holster. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for pocket holster and if Vedder would make that option available where the hook would be level with one side of the gun, I would definitely buy two more for my pocket pistols.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. I will certainly pass this information on to our product development team for future product updates. We appreciate your business and you taking the time to share your experience.
Quality product but lacking in concealability
The build quality of this holster is stellar. Adequate retention for a pocket holster, and the hook is just right for drawing, even from loose pants which usually cause me to pull out other pocket holsters with my pistol.
I got mine for the Glock 43, and my only complaint is that even with the optional curved shape supposed to contour to my leg, the holster is still so wide that it prints fairly obviously in pants made of thin material, which I usually wear. However, I'm also almost always wearing some sort of coat or overshirt that covers my pocket, so this masks the issue, but I still feel uneasy if I have to remove my coat while carrying.
That said, this is a lot better than any soft pocket holster I've used, and I'll probably be getting another one for my LCP II soon.
Pocket Locker Ruger LCP 2
I purchased a Pocket Locker for my Ruger LCP 2 about 4 months ago. I carry it everyday and am very satisfied with mine. It was deliver very quickly. I have recommended it to freinds and family.
Pocket Locker
Hesitant to try a pocket holster but couldn’t be happier with it
PERFECT IN MY UKOALABAG
I ordered the holster in Highlander for my Sig P938 Scorpion. The thumb tab works so smoothly I don't even have to worry about using velcro to stabilize the holster inside my bag. And it's a deep pocket. Thank you Vedder Holsters.
Pocket Locker
I got this holster for my LCP2 and i love it. Fits perfectly in my pocket. It pulls out of the holster effortlessly
using the hook. I got mine with the thumb break and I did not like that feature. When reaching for the pistol it would hit the web of my hand and prevent getting a immediate grip of the handle. I took a hair dryer and remolded it to lay flush against the slide. Now i get a quick positive grip every time. I recommend
this holster above all others!
Didn't Work For Me But Quality Is Great
I bought this for a Ruger LCP2. Though it didn't work for me, I think that's more a matter of personal preference. I felt the holster was too bulky in my pocket, and I personally don't like carrying so low; it makes moving naturally awkward for me.
However, I didn't use the preference issue to take away one star. There were two reasons I didn't give it 5 stars. One, as I stated earlier, I think the holster is too bulky, and that ends up making the pistol and holster look like a brick in my pants, which doesn't really lend itself to concealed carry. I think something that large would naturally draw attention from others. Two, I didn't think the thumb release was very helpful. When drawing, I used the hook feature on the holster, which worked fine by itself. The thumb release really slowed me down and made drawing from my pocket awkward.
On the bright side, I also purchased a Light Tuck holster from Vedder, and that holster has changed the way I carry. It's awesome!
In short, If you already know you like to pocket carry, this holster might work for you, but be aware that it adds quite a bit of bulk compared to the pocket holster Ruger provides with the LCP2, and I'd skip the thumb release and just use the hook feature.
Pocket Locker
Best quality money can buy. Great product.
Nice quality
The holster is a good quality product. But unless you have pockets that are big enough for it ride a certain way you can not get your gun out of the holster. Only works with about half my pants.
It just doesn't work for me.
I have carried a Sig 938 in my left front pocket for 2 years, with a leather RKBA holster. My main problem with that holster is that the magazine release button is only partially covered, and the button sometimes gets pressed inside my pocket.
I read a review on this holster and ordered one. It does not cover the mag release button at all. It's one inch taller that my old holster, doesn't fit well in my pocket and it's more difficult to draw the gun. So, it not sits in a box of unused holsters.

Pocket Locker
Shockingly great customer service coupled with outstanding products makes Vedder very special. I sent email to Vedder 1 week ago, saying that I was considering the Pocket Rocket for my Kahr CM9, but wondered if I could dremel off the bottom half inch of kydex without reducing retention, in order to have it sit lower in the pocket. The next day I got a reply from Pennie at Vedder saying that she spoke with the shop supervisor and that it could be removed without problem. She said that I just needed to note the request in the order comment section, and they would take care of it at no extra charge! I placed the order, and the next day I got another email from Pennie, with a picture of the holster with some kydex removed, asking if I wanted it that way, or if I wanted it further shortened, but that shortening further would open the bottom and pocket particles could get into the barrel. I said I would prefer it shortened even further, and that I could live with open bottom and potential lint in the barrel. They shipped it THAT DAY, and it arrived today. Total time for questions, custom work and shipping to my door was 7 days! Their work is absolutely perfect. Retention is excellent. The bottom is smooth and polished. It fits like a glove, and sits low in the pocked just as I requested. I had expected top quality craftsmanship since I have their LightTuck for my Glock 26 and my son has both their LightTuck and their RapidTuck for his Glock 43, and all three are stellar, but I had no idea that they could do custom work and get it delivered that fast. The combination of low price, high quality, fast production and shipping, and absolutely the best customer service make Vedder very, very special. Highly recommended.
Pocket Locker
Product is well made. Will need to practice using the hook and thumb release. I recommend this product.
Perfect pocket holster
I have three of these pocket holsters. Some of the best kydex I have seen. I recently got one of these for the glock 42 with a tlr6. This makes carring so easy, especially when you live where it is hot like Phoenix.
Pocket locker
My first Vedder holster the fit and quality of the Pocket locker is excellent, the polished edges of the kydex a nice touch
Pocket locker holster
I like the fit of the gun in the holster. And I like the thumb assist feature. But, the holster I received was not completely sealed at the bottom so pocket lint can still get in to the gun. Also, this holster prints, as the front side is the same shape as the firearm. Needs to be flattened out a little.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your holster has an opening at the bottom. This should certainly not be the case and we will be more than happy to assist you in getting this corrected. With regard to printing, I will be passing your comments on to our product development team for possible future updates. We look forward to getting this resolved for you and appreciate your feedback.
Pocket Locker
Awesome holster. Great fit and very comfortable. Fits in my pants without printing.
Pocket Locker - Glock 43
This is an excellent holster - very well made and very well designed for concealed carry of a small lightweight pistol in the pocket. The only issue I found (likely personal to me - 5'9" - 165 lbs) was that the size of the whole package with a Glock 43 in the holster was was either too big for small pockets (printing) or too small for large cargo pockets, where the holster and gun banged around in the pants. I have several Vedder's and they are all of very high quality.
Great purchase
I wasn't sure how much I would like this holster when I ordered it. After using it for several days I can honestly say I really like it. It slides easily into my pocket and holds my pistol securely in place. The thumb tab makes it very easy to draw from the pocket. It is very comfortable, too. This was a great purchase.

This is my third Vedder Holster, as always top quality with fast turnaround
Pocket Locker Holster
This holster is outstanding. Great craftsmanship, it feels solid. I like the functionality of it, especially the little tab for my thumb. I feel confident that my backup weapon is both secure and easily accessible. Would definitely recommend.
LCP II
Good gun retention. I got the optional curve but not the thumb tab. I have issues drawing with certain pants. The hook will not grab. I have tried to use the eyelet to anchor the holster but the pocket still pulls out. I am still trying to find the solution.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. The thumb tab should resolve this issue for you. If you would like to add the thumb tab, we will be happy to make this modification to your holster at no cost. We look forward to taking to you and getting this modified to meet your needs.
Pocket Locker LCP II
Was a bit worried about the thumb tab, and whether or not it would "dig" into my leg. Received my holster, and I am quite impressed with it, and finding the tab is not an issue. Fit is excellent.
Well done Vedder!
Great holster
This is my 3rd vedder holster and when I get more carry guns I'll get more vedder holsters.
Outstanding product
I recently ordered a pocket holster for my CM9. This is a fantastic holster. It is very light and comfortable. The holster is high quality and the shipping was very fast. I just ordered another holster for my wife for her Glock 43.
If you pocket carry, get this
You would be hard-pressed to find a better pocket Kydex holster than this one. Perfect fit for my Glock 42. This type of holster is far and away safer than using a soft, nylon type. The hook that catches inside your pants pocket will make for a sure draw if you need to do so. The security of the Kydex holster is infinitely more likely to prevent something foreign (like keys or a pen) accidentally slipped into the same pocket from getting inside the trigger guard--we all know not to do this, but who hasn't done it once or twice in an absentminded moment. Moreover, because your pistol stays clicked in the holster until you draw, it is again safer than a nylon pocket carry holster if you to place your holstered gun in a safe, drawer, glove box, on the nightstand, etc. As for the optional thumb release tab; my opinion is that it is unnecessary; the tab only adds unwanted thickness to your carry, while the hook at the bottom of the holster is more than adequate to keep the holster completely buried in your pocket while drawing. If you pocket carry, this holster is absolutely the way to go. Decent price, too.
Pocket Holster
It seems everything I order from Vedder rates 5 stars. My pocket holder is no exception. The fit and finish are perfect. I love the curve and thumb release. I highly recommend all Vedder products.
Pocket locker
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Comfortable and not noticeable at all.
What it says it is
I wondered whether Vedder reviews were fake. I can't say they aren't, but my holster is worth 5 stars. Their customer service was worth 5 stars also. I wanted something more concealable, but I love this holster. If concealability is your #1 issue, try the leather Recluse. If you care more about size and the extra safety of kydex, go with the Vedder.
Well made holster
The pocket locker is a well made holster, seems very durable, and I received it very quickly (I hate waiting). I use a Ruger LCP2 and it fits comfortably in almost all of my pockets but I do prefer it in baggier pants and shorts where it disappears completely. I like the thumb release because it greatly assists with removing the pistol but I wouldn't recommend it if you typically wear tighter clothing because it will push into your leg on the inside and create more of a "print" on the outside. Overall, a great holster and I highly recommend it.
LCP2 PocketLocker
Just received a 2nd PocketLocker for my new LCP2 (1st was for my Original LCP) and I am still impressed with how well the holster is built. The only difference is that the pocketlocker for the LCP2 seems to be a lot bigger than the one I had for my LCP... I know the gun is slightly larger but the PocketLocker is just overall bigger. I may have to try another one with the RH curve to see if it makes a difference.
S&W Shield 9mm w/CT Laser Green Perfect Fit
Love it. It fits snug so I can throw it in my messenger bag and not worry about my gun falling out of the holster. Being thin, it doesn't add any kind of "bump" to my bags either. As for using it in my pocket, the design does a great job of keeping the gun from sliding around. This isn't my primary use for it but it does fit all the way in my jeans pocket if I needed it to.
The build is solid and I have no worries that this will fall apart. All in all, a great buy, especially for the price.
Pocket Locker for LCP
I've been pocket carrying the LCP for years now, and I've tried many of the well known holsters on the market. While they do a fair job, I've never completely trusted any of them. I had to draw the pistol not long ago, and the holster - we'll just call it a 'pooper fly' for now - came out of the pocket with it. A change was needed, and that's when I found the Pocket Locker. The Vedder is perfectly sized, well designed, and flawlessly constructed. The thumb tab and the hook combine to ensure a proper draw every time. Look no further - the Pocket Locker is the finest front pocket holster extant.
Pocket Locker
I have Vedder Holsters. They are by far the best holsters I have ever owned. The staff at Vedder are very polite and knowledgeable. My wife and several friends have purchased their line of holster, mag carriers and belts.
You cannot go wrong with Vedder
Ruger LCP2
Pocket locker is great for Ruger LCP2.
Hands down best LCP pocket holster
Loved mine so much I ordered one for my dad. The thumb release is a nice touch. Also a safe way to store the gun with one in the chamber.
Really nice holster
Got this for my XDS to use when it's not convenient to use my IWB holsters, meaning when I need a tucked in shirt. This fit my gun perfectly. I got the right hand curve and the thumb release tab option. Really like the thumb release as it helps insure you can pull the pistol out of the holster as you draw it by pushing on the thumb release, it just feels natural.
Perfect for the LCP
I use a pocket locker with my LCP and Glock 43.
For the LCP, this is the perfect option. It doesn't flip around like other pocket holsters I have owned in the past. The thumb release is a must as it allows you to draw your weapon easier and keep a firm grip at the same time. The LCP "snaps" into place when you put it in the holster. So it won't come out.
I was concerned that pocket carry of the glock 43 wouldn't be ideal. In my Lucky brand jeans, the holster fits my glock securely. I would say the tip of the grip does stick out because Lucky brand jeans do not have deep pockets. In my other jeans, the glock fits deeper. It definitely looks like something large is in my pocket, but nobody has ever said anything.
Pocket sized perfection!
First, let me preface this review by saying that pocket carry has never really been my thing. I have done it, but found the neoprene holsters to be lacking. In addition, I never had full confidence that the holster would not come out with the gun, particularly
with looser fitting pockets. I recently purchased a Ruger LCP 2, which comes with that type of holster, and the same issues occured. Plus neoprene could potentially fold and bond into the trigger guard. Unlikely, but stranger things have happened. So, before I heard of/purchased the Vedder Pocket Locker I tried another Kydex concept holster for pocket carry. Within days I got tired of it flipping off my trigger guard while in my pocket. Finally, that brings me to the best holster purchase I have made in a long long time. I purchased the model with the thumb break...GET THE THUMB BREAK! It is amazing! No matter how tight or loose the pocket, leverage your thumb on that tab and the gun slides out effortlessly. I have yet had to rely on the curved hook at the bottom to draw my firearm. I am not overly concerned with printing, particularly with a pocket pistol. That being said, even under my own scrupulous gaze, knowing what is in my pocket I would have to use my imagination to conjure up the conclusion that there is a pistol in my pocket. The craftsmanship is unbeatable, with the edges shined to a mirror finish and that audible click we love so much when holstering into kydex. If you are looking to pocket carry, your search is over! Also, for those that are cynical about people getting perks for reviews, I have no affiliation and have in no way been compensated for this review. I am a blue collar, single income, head of household that believes in my right to protect myself and my family, and am willing to pay for a quality product that makes this more convenient. Not only have I found just that, but now, so have you!
Stays Upright
Locks my pistol in tightly; not even a little wiggle. Releases my pistol easily when I need it. It's a little wider than my previous holster. That extra width must prevent it from turning sideways in my pocket; it stays upright. Being precision made, it is quieter than my previous holster when I release my pistol. I want to take it out of my pocket and show it to everyone I see.
Pocket Holster
Fits my Glock 42 tightly. The "hook" catches my pocket nicely and the holster remains in my jean pocket when drawn. We will see how it holds up over time.
I own 3 holsters from them. Great customer service.
I have all three holsters from them -- LightTuck, RapidTuck, and the PocketLocker. I would rate both the LightTuck and the PocketLocket 5 stars, and the RapidTuck 4 stars. I would rate their customer service 10 stars if I could. This review is based on holsters made for the Glock G43.
My first order was the RapidTuck. I made a typo in my zip code when placing the order and caused the post office to kept delaying my order day after day. I contacted Vedder (even though it wasn't their fault) about the circumstance and they immediately went above and beyond and ordered me another RapidTuck and shipped it right away.
Well, when I got the RapidTuck eventually (I got two total, including the delayed one), tied it for a few days, and didn't really like the feel of it.
- Leather was hard and didn't contour around as expected. I understand there's a break-in period with leather, but given haven't tried their LightTuck I didn't have anything to compare against.
- The Kydex is only on on side, the other side is pure leather. Personally I didn't like that the entire gun wasn't protected by kydex.
- It was a bit Bulky for me.
I contacted Vedder and asked if I could try out the LightTuck. They immediately agreed all I had to do was send back the old one. Upon receiving the old one, they sent out he LightTuck.
The LightTuck was much better. Great retention, great feel against the body, and very compact. I think most people should get the LightTuck, unless you are a leather fan then get the leather version.
I liked it so much that when they had the memorial day sale I ordered the PocketLocket. A few days later it arrived. It fit perfectly inside my cargo pants and the holster stayed inside the pocket during draws. It also comes with a thumbtab so you can loosen the retention while still inside your pocket for a more guaranteed draw.
I did mess around with the PocketLocker with a heatgun to customize the retention and to lessen the thumbtab intrusion. It is definitely not something you have to do, but I'm just OCD about many things when I first got it.
Pocket Locker Excelence
Love this holster, thin, light, perfect fit and Quality,,..NO REGRETS HERE
Glock 42
I have purchased several Vedder holsters for duty use and off duty. I have found them all to be exceptional quality and the shipping time far exceeds any other holster company. Thank you for making them quickly and with good quality. I also love the selection of colors and patterns since most other companies do not offer these. This pocket holster for my Glock 42 works perfect for my backup and fits nicely in my uniform pants pocket. I have purchased a few of these holsters for my brothers and fellow officers. The weapon locks into the holster with a nice solid snap and draws easy. Overall excellent and I will be purchasing more in the future.
Pocket Locker
The pocket holster looks great, came fast, and customer service responds quickly to emails
Review
Bought for 380 Bodyguard,has good retention, bought with tab and feel it assist when drawing pistol, would recommend it, could easily remove it if you didn't like it, quality product and well thought out design
Pocket Holster
Fits my Glock 42 great. Fast shipping & very happy
Great pocket holster
I was using my Remora sticky holster as a pocket holster, but wanted a thinner profile. Stumbled across the Vedder line, and bought a black Kydex one for Roger LC9 with no thumb break.
Love it! Thin, stays in all of my pockets of all different kinds of jeans, dress pants, and shorts! Will be getting another soon for my XDS 45!
LCP 2
Purchased pocket rocket for my Lcp 2 and very happy with my purchase, fits like a glove.
almost perfect
Purchased the Pocket Locker for my Ruger LCP 2. It's very comfortable to wear, and the thumb tab is an excellent option for ensuring the holster doesn't leave your pocket during the draw.
The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it prints slightly. For some reason, Vedder didn't make the outer kydex side of the holster smooth; it conforms to and emphasizes the gun's corners and angles. If this kydex were smoother, like in a similar holster made by Alabama Holsters, there were be less printing.
Overall though, I love this holster and am glad I purchased it.
Note: It's possible that I'm overly concerned about printing. I've been wearing this holster for a while and no one has noticed or said anything to me.
Pocket locker Glock 42 Kryptic Mandrake
Best pocket holster I have ever owned. Great retention and disappears in my pocket. It locks the gun in place and will not fall out in your pocket yet is easy to pull from the pocket with the thumb tab. Great quality and the Mandrake color and design are top notch.
Pocket Locker Glock 43
This is my second Pocket Locker Holster and I could not be more impressed. Purchased this for a new Glock 43 and the fit and retention are perfect.
There are many companies producing Kydex® holsters, this is by far the best on the market.
Your pistol is completely covered and protected, only the butt and magazine release are exposed. Pocket carry is the way to go, works super with jeans or shorts, I wear shirt untucked or have light jacket.
The super part with these holsters is the Kydex® material is easily molded to fit your body, shape and preference. Use a heat-gun on low setting or hairdryer, does not take much, and you can form the "paddle" portion to exactly fit your preference.
I am right handed, so I order the right hand curved holster with thumb break and wear it in my left front pocket with the butt facing forward. So cross draw, so much more comfortable to wear and sit, enter exit vehicle.
In my opinion, wearing the holster in this manner is more easily concealable and offers a quick and easy draw.
This is most probably the best holster I have found for concealed carry and easy to conform to your body shape. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again!
Pocket Locker For Ruger LCPS Pro
The Pocket Locker Holster is ideal for concealed carry, lightweight and comfortable. I carry every day and this purchase was for a Ruger LC9S Pro 9mm. Super fit, great retention and will not leave any wear on the finish to the firearm taking in and out of the holster.
The fit is so precise that you will hear a definite snap upon holstering your pistol. You can turn the holster upside down and shake it vigorously, the firearm will not fall out. Yet using your thumb on the release tab easily frees the gun, purchase the model with the Thumb Release Tab.
I have carried concealed weapons for over 20 years and this is the best holster I have ever found. Do not hesitate, buy it, you will love it!
Pocket Locker
Just received pocket locker for my wife's sig p238. Fits gun perfectly and she said is very comfortable in her pocket. Love the fast shipping and quality products from vedder.
Best of the Best
This is my third Vedder Holster. My first was the Light truck for my Beretta PX4-Storm Compact the 2nd was the Pocket Locker for my Ruger LCP380 and the 3rd is another Pocket Locker for my new Sig-Sauer P238. When I first got my new holster for my P238 the Pocket Locker kept coming out of my pocket whenever I drew my Sig-Sauer P238. After a few days of dry practice, the Pocket Locker stayed in my pocket and performs as is was made to do. I will buy only Vedder Holsters for all my firearm needs.
Great, but can turn in your pocket
This is my go to holster for my LCP2. The draw is much easier than the holster included from Ruger and the "thumb tab" works great to assist in the draw or push the holster off if the gun isn't in your pocket or the holster does come out of your pocket on the draw.
In big pockets the holster can shift positions and the "thumb tab" rubbed a sore spot on my leg. This happened in my normal 5.11 & TrueSpec pants, but not in my covert 5.11 pants or jeans. A little "sticky" material (like on the factory holster) of some kind would probably minimize this small inconvenience.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. I will certainly pass this information on to our product development team for possible future updates. We appreciate your business and you taking the time to share your experience.
Perfect
Full coverage of the firearm. Doesn't add bulk. Retention is just right. Thumb tab and hook work perfectly.
Pocket Locker Springfield XDS .40
Fits like a glove, feels great in the pocket, would highly recommend.
This is the best pocket holster bar none
This works extremely well for my Glock 43. You read that right. It's on the larger side of pocket carry but with the Pocket Locker, it looks like a large cell phone. Very easy to slide in and out of pocket. Stays in the pocket on the draw thanks to the hook. I did not opt for the thumb tab. It's just the right retention too. Not too tight but enough to hold it in place. Comes out smooth. Love it. My third Vedder and always a pleasure to do business with. They have the best sale/customer service (haven't need CS though).
Ruger LCP .380 w/Crimson Trace LG-431
I've tried about a half dozen in-the-pocket holsters and this one is the best. My Luger LCP Custom with the higher signs fits great. Molded holster is secure and tight, pistol will not fall out. Thumb release is a great idea that works. The hook works great to release gun when drawing.
Happy in the pocket holding the LCP II
Conceal carrying in South Texas in the summer can become uncomfortable in the heat. The solution is the Pocket Locker with a lightweight handgun (Ruger LCP II). Easy carry and easy draw. Absolutely love the thumb tab feature on the Vedder.
Superb Holster
Best I've purchased. Fits gun perfectly. Light and hides well.
I highly recommend.
will work great !
Fits gun well, but allows for easy removal. I will probably use it in my purse most of the time, but for nighttime it will fit in jeans perfectly.
Pocket Holster
Works Great.
Great for Glock 42 (380)
I never write reviews but after having acquired a pile of other holsters (including Kydex holsters), wanted to say this is a great holster for my Glock 42 380. I feel very comfortable carrying the Glock, i.e. No accidental discharge of the striker trigger. It is well made and looks good. I got the carbon fiber. Also, definitely get the tab. I just ordered the same holster for my Ruger LCP.
Pocket Locker for the LCP 11
I just purchased a new Ruger LCP 11 380 and wanted a pocket holster for it. The one that Ruger provided I would not carry chambered. The Vedder protects the trigger much better. Make sure you practice unloaded with the gun while you work out the best draw technique for you. My shooting buddy is ordering one this week after trying mine out. From order to receiving was around a week.
Bottom line I rated it A plus and get the tab.
Excellent product
This is the best pocket holster I have ever used. I have a Ruger LCP ii and got one of these for it . It stays upright in my pocket and has never come out of the holster while in my pocket.
Great pocket holster and superb service!
I'm very impressed by both the holster itself and service! I had a request for a pocket holster for the Kimber Micro 9 with the crimson trace handguard installed from the factory. They didn't have a precut version of the holster for the crimson trace version (a very new model), so they cut out a notch for the are whenever the laser head resides. The communication on this was impressive and included a phone call and an email (with picture) in order to approve the approach they would take. This is my second pocket holster from Vedder and I will continue to be a customer for a long.
Perfect for my needs
This pocket holster fits my firearm like a glove! The snap helps distribute the weight in my pocket. I have to remind myself it's there! Great product and price with quick shipping!!!
Great holster!
Great holster so far. Exactly what I was looking for. Fits great in the pocket. What I wasn't expecting is how well it works in the car. Definitely worth the price.
Great Holster
Bought this holster after I put a crimson trace laserguard on my glock 42. Really like how thick and sturdy it is. The retention was a little too much to make a good draw until I put a small amount of crossbow string and rail wax on the inside of the holster.
pocket locker
I love this holster and would recommend it to anyone
The gun stays Secure in the holster and The Hook design
Grabes the pocket and the gun pulles out easy
It is in my pocket everyday
pocket locker better than expected
I purchased the pocket locker for my Ruger LC9s to help conceal my fire arm while wearing shorts. This product works better than expected. It helps prevent my fire arm from printing through my shorts. Also it is easier to withdraw from my pocket without it hanging onto my pocket. The pocket locker helps guide it out with ease while the holster stays in my pocket. Since purchasing the pocket locker I carry the Ruger more often with more comfort than being in my pocket alone
Great build quality, retention, coverage! I made one tweak though.
I'm 6'1" and 150 lbs, carrying a G42 with TLR-6 right handed curve and thumb tab.
It fits my gun perfectly and does a great job of protecting the trigger. I feel extremely confident in avoiding negligent discharges with this holster. The holster catches really well on all pants I own and rarely comes out with the gun after practice, when the gun is drawn sideways and not directly upwards. Holster also keeps lint out of barrel which the DeSantis does not do.
This holster was too wide for my skinny legs with the right hand curve printing quite a bit on the outside of my thigh. So I held it over a hot stove and bent it some more with a pair of tongs (sorry guys!). It felt wrong doing this to such a finely crafted product, but now it works with every pair of pants and shorts I own except the tightest chinos. Looks like a cell phone/tablet/notepad in my pocket in fitted pants, and looks invisible in baggy/tactical pants.
I also noticed some pants work very well on the draw and some pants make for a very clumsy slow draw. I recommend pants with vertically stitched ( / shaped) pocket openings (like dress pants commonly have) over pants with horizontal stitching ( U shaped) (like Levi's). The gun sights will get caught on the fabric less if you have vertical pockets.
The gun will be about 1/2 in higher in your pocket than it would be unholstered, so it might peek out of pockets that you think should fit it.
Good Holster with potential to be Great
I ordered this holster probably about 2 weeks ago and have been carrying it ever since. The form is perfect and it feels much more secure than my other pocket holster that came with my LCP II. One major problem that I have with it is that it prints while inside dress pants/slacks. It isn't horrible, but people with a good enough eye can definitely see that my pocket has an outline of a handgun. A recommendation I have is to maybe flatten the outside of the holster, or even use a thicker piece of kydex on the outside portion to really hide the outline of the gun. If something is done to correct this issue, I think this holster will be hands-down the best pocket holster to buy.
Awesome quality, pretty quick shipping, colors and designs for everbody.
Best pocket Holster money can buy. I have a LCP 2, looked and looked for the best holster, by far Vedder is the best. Best design,Best Fit,Best Colors that can match anyone.
You won't find a better holster anywhere else!
Best pocket holster I've used yet. Some room for improvement
The Good:
Way better than the cloth or leather pocket holsters I've used before. It holds my Sig P238 very securely. With the thumb tab its very easy to remove the pistol. Its also very quite.
I find that the holster, even with the thumb tab, is completely comfortable in jeans. In dress slacks, its quite irritating. I think this is because the pockets are made out of a finer material that doesn't provide as much padding. Over the course of the week, it rubbed and irritated me by the end of the week. In jeans no problem at all.
The hook catches on the edge of the pocket and provides enough resistance to unholster the pistol without issue. The thumb tab isn't reall necessary for me. If you only wear jeans, then I'd recommend ordering with the tab as it does provide another option.
What to improve:
The kydex is very smooth, but still prints quite clearly in dress slacks. It also slides around in the pocket. I wrapped a couple rubber bands around the kydex and it seems to reduce the print and improve in-pcket traction.

Great holster
Very well made pocket holster this is my third Vedder holster that I purchased in the last 6 months. The quality is great prices are reasonable and customer service is great.
Pocket Locker is awesome
The pocket locker works well in a deep pocket. Only some of my jeans have a deep enough pocket to carry there with a G43.
The best pants are cargo style with a zippered cargo pocket. Those pockets are on the side of the lower thigh and you can carry quite comfortably.
No matter where you carry it is not a fast draw holster, but you will have a pistol with you.
Safety First
I purchased two pocket locker holsters; one for a Remington RM380 and the second for a Ruger LC9s. I have to tell you that my major concern for pocket carry was to insure no possible accidental discharge. These pocket holsters fit the bill.
These two holsters offer a very good fit and keep the trigger secure but still give an easy firearm removal. The barrel end of the holster is completely enclosed preventing any debris from entering. There are no sharp edges. I would highly recommend these kydex holsters for pocket holster. I am now considering a third holster, the Rapid Tuck or Light Tuck for a Springfield xds.
Way too tight
I purchased a Pocket Locker for my Sig P238 with Crimson Trace to replace my Alabama Holster which has an open bottom that has a real problem collecting pocket lint on my Sig. It's retention is perfect as is its release when I draw, but oh that lint! When I received the Vedder, I was disappointed to find that it held my Sig too tightly. In fact, it takes a strong effort with both hands to get the holster to release the Sig outside my pocket. I contacted Vedder and they offered to have me mail it back and they would work to solve the too tight problem. At that point, I decided to just return it rather than pay for postage to get it adjusted. I could not be sure their first try would solve the problem adding further to how much the holster had cost. I also did not like the way it held the Sig at the top of the grip. It was just too much retention for my taste. The Pocket Locker looks will made, but I think it is too molded to the shape of the Pistol resulting in too much retention and potential for printing through the pocket.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that your holster had too much retention for you. We hope the the return process was seamless and am sorry that we could not meet your needs. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to have your business.
This is what concealment is all about
I do field service work in customer's homes, a lot of areas I go are not the best places anyone wants to be. I carried it for 2 days without any firearm. I needed time to get use to it, make sure it was going to stay in my pocket and was comfortable for the long day.
I have since started carrying my LC9. No complaints from the customer, conceals very well.
Thank you
Outstanding design
I bought this to hold my M&P Shield in a concealed carry vest. The pistol is protected from lint, does not print, is safe and secure. The thumb tab makes it easy to safely draw with astonishing speed. Outstanding product.
Quality product
Bought this in a colored pattern for my wife's G43 for Xmas.
this is for pocketbook carry so it was ordered with the thumb release. The holster was a little tight brand new but loosen up in a few days with the gun warped in plastic. The holster is a perfect fit with an audible click when the gun is seated. The colored pattern is bright, does not scratch and looks like it will not fade. My wife loves this holster.
Top notch quality.
I initially purchased a pocket locker for my bodyguard.380. I am very impressed with it. The Kydex inside is very smooth, the outside edges are all rounded and smooth, and the retention is great (there is an audible 'click' when it is holstered completely). The trigger is completely covered and I feel very safe with it in my pocket. I ordered the thumb tab option and it really does help with leverage and drawing your firearm quickly. The tab does dig into my thigh at times if I am wearing light pants (think wind/gym pants), which brings me to my next point. I ordered another pocket locker for my glock 42 and left an order comment that I would like the thumb tab shaved down a little more to help alleviate my previous issue. Vedder read my comment and did just what I asked, and the holster came perfect to my wants/needs. Very impressed with Vedder customer service and turnaround time (had it within a week of ordering). Can't wait to get my light tuck in the mail now.
Fits the pocket
Excellent holster for pocket carry fit G42 like a glove. Holds firearm straight in pocket for easy draw (with practice) can't tell you are carrying. Fast shipping no 10 day PLUS waiting time. Have other holsters from Vedder excellent product and quality. Like the bag the holster comes.
great holster just what I was looking for
Great product very good craftsmanship and quality materials, the perfect match for my RM380 and also have one for my XDs. The XDs is a tad big and heavy to be pocket carried but it's doable. The only consideration to have with this style of holster is gun wear on guns finish, but I that doesn't bother me I think it adds character to a carry gun to show you use it.
slim and easy to conceal.
I like this holster because it doesn't add much bulk to the gun. It stays in the pocket and retains the pistol well, but the thumb tab makes it easy to release and draw. I use it with a Glock 43 which is a little large in my opinion for pocket carry, but with this holster it works well as long as your pockets are deep enough.
pocket locker
First off, Vedder was a pleasure to deal with. They went above and beyond any possible request. They actually took it upon themselves to accommodate me without me asking for any special instructions. Then as to the holster. Molded perfectly, smooth perfect lines. Will buy again.
Great Hoster
Just like it says and fits my Nano perfectly. Looks like I'll be coming back for any holster needs and their prices are very good
Great Holster
My second purchase from Vedder. Quick delivery as advertised. Bought this pocket locker for my Sig P238. The fit is great. As thin and form fitting as it can get. I was using a De Santis "rubber" pocket holster but it was very bulky in my pocket and half the time would come out with the gun when drawn. The thumb tab is a great feature, between this and the hook hooking the pocket I am much more confident and consistent in my draw. Very smooth edges and great work,a ship. Great job Vedder!
Perfect for Pocket Carry
Received it today...not much use yet but fits perfect with zero bulk. Trigger coverage is complete with zero worry about snags.
Perfect for my LCP2
First time buyer and I'll definitely be back. Ordered this for my new LCP2 which came with a pocket holster but it didn't fit my needs and was very basic. The Vedder holster is a perfect fit, tight, secure and comfortable. Very high quality.
Thoughtful design
Quite surprised when I opened my Pocket Locker holster package. First thing I noticed was the smooth edges. Every inch was smooth and detailed. Then I placed my new Kahr PM9 into it and turned it upside down. Solid and secure, holding it like a glove. The curve made the holster fit well in both the front and back of my pant's pocket . It simply disappeared. The thumb lip made drawing it a breeze. I was so impressed with the thoughtfulness and quality that I immediately ordered 2 mag carriers. Will not hesitate to order more holsters from Vedder in the future.
Perfect for Glock 42
My first Vedder Holster. I'm very pleased with the fit and detail work. Perfect "click" as gun is seated securely in the holster. No sharp edges. I ordered mine with the optional thumb release tab. The release is big enough to work and small enough that I don't feel it while it's in my pocket. Gun doesn't print but you still have a moderate lump showing in your pocket. As with all pocket holsters you will need to practice your draw with each pair of pants you plan on wearing. I will buy from Vedder again.
Vedder is Better
I purchased this Vedder pocket locker holster for my Kahr P380 because I had bought a sticky material type holster that would not release the pistol when pulled from the holster. This is the fourth Vedder holster I have purchased and the third pocket locker and they have all formed to the weapon perfectly. The thumb snap is a great feature and helps you confront the enemy in the fastest way possible. You won't be disappointed if you purchase any of their products . Really fast turnaround
NOT my last Vedder holster!
I received my Pocket locker for my Beretta Pico and I am completely satisfied! The quality is excellent and my gun fit with the classic Kydex click! Very secure and comfortable in my pocket! I do wish that there was an option for no "hook" but that would be for my Glock 43! Great company and fast service! Thanks Vedder!
I went back for seconds...
I ordered a pocket holster for my Ruger LCP II. Loved it so much that I ordered another for my Sig P938. Great product and now I carry with a round in the chamber since I don't have a flimsy Uncle Mike's holster.
Top notch as I expected
I have a Light Tuck IWB and am very please with its construction, fit, comfort and versatility. I expected nothing less from the Pocket carry model and I was right. It fits my pistol like a glove and conceals very nicely. Thumb release is a plus. I can conceal this many places and in many pockets. I highly recommend Vedder. PS I researched alot of holsters before I picked Vedder.
Everything you need and nothing you don't!
Was looking for a simple ambidextrous pocket holster and this model works just fine! Covers the Sig P938 back as far as the Safety, the wing catches the side of your pocket on drawing which leaves the holster in the pocket. Works!
xds holster
I've only carried this around a few times but it really feels comfortable! I will buy again after I get another gun.
Great pocket holster
Great holster for my Remington Rm380. I had used other pocket holster and the magazine release button would be press while inside my pocket. One time I removed the gun from my pocket and the mag fell right out. I asked Vedder Holster if they could make the holster cover the mag release buttons which they did. The holster was perfect, it covered the mag release button just enough to protect them from being press while in the pocket. I never had another problem with my mag coming out!
Very happy.
This my third holster from these folk. My first one did not work out, but I love the way they took care of me They got me one that works great. This pocket locker is wonderful.
Fit is Perfect
I have to admit, having bought more than my share of holsters in my days, I was a little wary about buying one from a company I didn't know. However, what I can now say, is that I could not be happier. The communication and shipping post order was excellent, and the quality and fit of the product was exceptional. I don't think I've ever bought a holster that "just worked for me" as well as this does. I am sure I will be a customer for a long time.
Not for me.
This did not work for me but I had no problems getting the issues fixed. They were very speedy on getting me the holster then replying to my issues I had. Would recommend them with no hesitation.
Pocket Locker for Walther PPS
excellent fit . No rough edges. Like the tab to assist removing the holster. Prompt service & phone follow up . Delivery as quoted time wise . Also have one for Glk43...both work well. No disappointment.
awesome
The holster is much more comfortable than my Desantis. It's much less bulky and feels "light in the pocket". It is the ONLY pocket holster for my G42. The craftsmanship is top notch.
Perfect Fitting Holster
The holster fits my Glock 42 and my pants pocket perfectly. There's no way to tell that I'm actually carrying unless someone were to feel my pocket. It's great for when its too hot out to carry my Glock 23 AIWB. Or when my attire dictates that I pocket carry. The thumb release I got on mine gives me a more discrete way of drawing my firearm without digging into my thigh at any point.
Secure and convenient pocket holster
After using a competitive pocket holster for ~8 years, I purchased this for my new CT380. For the first time I can reholster without using two hands. I bought the thumb release model, but after experimenting I find that the hook works better as soon as one gets in the habit of drawing back instead of straight up.
Definitely recommend this product.
Great Holster - Fast Shipping
Unlike some manufacturers, you don't have to wait weeks at a time for holsters to ship. The fit is great on my Kahr CW380, and it works great in the pocket. I would not hesitate to use them gain in the future.
Good Holster / Great Colors
Bought this for my wife and her G42. Works perfectly for her and it came in her color "Tiff Blue" and she loved.
Shipping and ordering was great.
Thanks
Easily Concealed
The holster works in any type of fabric for concealment. Ex. Thin material or denim material. Gun slides in and out of pocket easily. I recommend the thumb piece to help with a draw from the pants pocket.
My Second Choice
Why my second choice? Because this is for my second pocket pistol. I ordered this holster several months ago for my SIG P238 and wear it almost everyday. I recently purchased a Glock 42 and the first accessary I purchased was another Vedder Pocket Holster. I plan on purchasing two more small pistols in the next six to twelve months, and both of them will get a fitted Vedder Pocket Holster.
I have never been disappointed with the quality or the service.
excellent gun fit
Having carried in right front pocket since 1964,(Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, & Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation) I can say this is one of the best, if not the best pocket holster (so far) I have ever used.
GLOCK 43 Kryptek yeti. Great product and even better customer service
My Kryptek yeti pocket locker (GLOCK 43) is great! Fits well and looks even better. 3rd holster from this company and I couldn't be happier. Need big pockets for this particular carry piece, but not to big. I love how it COVERS AND PROTECTS THE BARREL. Only company I know that makes a holster that does this for the pocket.
PS- Had an issue with my first one having a light color pattern. They emailed me and took care of it with no questions asked. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Kryptek Yeti- terrible design. works well.
The design has hardly any black in the yeti kryptek. Basically just a plain white holster. :-(. Disappointing considering this is the 3rd holster I've bought from vedder. My other yeti kryptek from them is decent, but still a little faded.
**VH COMMENT**
Coolmetal,
I am sorry to hear that the pattern on your holster is not as defined as you would like. The Kryptek Yeti design does have a decent amount of white in the pattern, but we do work to make each holster contain as much of the pattern as possible. We want you to be thrilled with your holsters and have put in for a replacement to be made and sent to you right away. Thank you for your business and we look forward to getting this switched out for you.
Best regards,

Must Have
I bought this for my s&w bodygaurd with built in Crimson trace laser.. The gun fits perfectly in the holster. It covers all the vital areas. There is absolutely the right amount of retention for the perfect draw every time.. Virtually undetectable in my pocket with no imprinting. Will never go anyplace else for my holster needs.
I'm disappointed
I liked the fact that the holster is closed at the bottom, keeping lint & dirt out but It just won't stay in the pocket on draw. I had better performance from Alabama Pocket holsters I've owned. Well, live & learn just wasted another $40.
**VH COMMENT**
Ed,
I am sorry to hear about this issue with your holster. Each of our holsters are backed with a 30 day money back guarantee which is described in the paperwork that comes with each holster as well as on our website. Using the integrated hook for unholstering your weapon can take some practice and technique and can also be affected by external factors including style of clothing. This is one of the reasons why we also include the option of the thumb tab for unholstering independently from the hook. We thank you for your interest in our products and hope you have a nice day.
Best regards,

Vedder Holsters, LLC
best pocket holster i have found yet.
Great fit. like the thumb tab and the curve. lightweight and solid.
Great holster
Love my pocket locker holsters. Originally tried pocket carry because I could not find and IWB holster that I liked, very glad I did. This holster allows me to carry all day without any issues. I currently own two of these, one for my PPS and one for my LC9s. Both are high quality and fit the gun perfectly.
A Pocket Holster that works.
I wanted a good pocket holster that would contain my new Walther PPS M2,fit the pistol perfectly and make it ride in the correct position and to be able to bring the pistol into action when needed. I had purchased one from another maker for my PPK and liked it very much, however the 6-8 week build time made me look at other options. In doing my research I came across the Vedder. I ordered an apendix style kydex holster and the pocket holster on a Friday and had both within a week. Both items were of great quality and fitted my pistol perfectly. I highly recommend this company.
Love my new pocket holster
I feel very secure with this pocket holster. Due to the wider base, it does not tip over in my pocket like my old one. I paid extra for a turquoise kydex so I can see it better when I toss it on my bed or on a counter. Love it!
Great Quality and quick shipping
Much better than a similar holster from A....... Holster company, and no 6 week wait.
High Quality, Great Service, Excelent Holster
I only picked pick out this holster as a last ditch effort to find a comfortable method of carrying an XDS 3.3. I never could seem to get the IWB holsters to ride comfortably, this holster has solved the problem perfectly. Simply slide it into the front pocket of your pants and you are all set. The holster has a slight curve to it that conforms to the shape of your thigh helping to reduce any outline or sharp angles. The thumb catch ensures the weapon will only be drawn when you want to it be which is an added plus. I would highly recommend this holster as a great option if you are not comfortable with the IBW carrying methods.
I'm impressed
I received this holster for my Sig Sauer P238 and when I attempted to draw the gun the hook caught in the pocket like it's designed to, but then it caused the holster to roll backwards and the barrel slide would wedge into the trigger guard area of the holster and jam. If I persisted in pulling, it probably would have torn my clothes before releasing the gun!
I contacted Vedder holsters about this, and they were surprised but said they'd get back with me.
I got a follow-up call and he said that they had been able to reproduce the problem, and discovered that it was a flaw in the holster because of the way they were being molded, and he was going to reach out to a few other recent customers that might have received a faulty product too.
They sent me a replacement, and it works VERY well. I'm delighted with it, and I have to say I'm very impressed with the prompt help and good service. That's not something that's very common anymore, but Vedder did the right thing and they did it quickly!
I'd definitely recommend this pocket holster, it's the best one I've ever used.
best pocket holster ive bought
Well priced well made. I would recommend this holster I give it 10 stars it took me some time to find a good pocket holster and with the Vedder pocket holster there is no need to look any further!!
Search No More
I've been carrying my pistols in a pocket holster for 5 years now. Countless dollars and time have gone into finding the perfect match, I will search no more. The pocket locker puts all other holsters of this nature to shame. Craftsmanship is top notch, the thumb release feature is amazing and the speed of delivery was amazing. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
Kydex Kings
Best Kydex crew around!
- Perfect fit & retention
- Many custom options
Just reveived my second flawless Kydex holster. I will be back in the future for any holster needs.
excellent quality
The best quality and fit.
Best Pocket Holsters I've ever owned
I've owned a number of other pocket holsters, notably Alabama pocket and DeSantis but they are shoddy compared to Vedder. I really like the thumb break as it makes it very easy to draw.
NOTHLING LIKE A KYDEX VEDDER!
I have absolutely no connection with the folks at Vedder, other than purchasing about 6 of them over the last few years. THESE, WITHOUT QUESTION, ARE THE BEST Kydex holsters on the market. I have several from other brands to prove it! And their Customer Service is unrivaled. Before ordering, I've often emailed some questions about my specific needs. Emails are ALWAYS answered in a prompt and informative manner. WHY GO ANYWHERE ELSE?
As their new cloth bag which the holster arrives is says, "Vedder didn't invent Kydex, we just perfected it"!
Thank you,
James
Nice product for the price
I have taken the time to carry the Pocket Locker for a month before writing my review. First, let me begin by stating this is a great little product. Being Kydex, it is lightweight, and the edges are rounded and smooth. Which is great for lighter fabric trousers, and the sealed bottom is great for keeping out pocket lint. But my favorite feature is the thumb ramp for draw assistance.
I have carried the Pocket Locker for a Kahr CW380, with a right hand draw since April 14, 2016, and if the need arose, I would purchase again, but with a couple of suggestions.
My primary reason for this purchase was due that I work in an office environment, and pretty much wear slacks each day. Because of this, I was in search of something which would conceal a small firearm. When dropping the Pocket Locker into a pair of jeans or cargo shorts/pants, it disappears and there isn't much of a silhouette to speak of, which is great. However, in thinner, slack material, the outline of the pistol prints a bit more. My two suggestions are this: flattening out the front/outward facing portion of the holster, and bring the offset of the curvature out a bit more to further break up the outline. I do understand the need for retention, and the Pocket Locker does a great job of that, but the outside of the holster is quite a bit formed, and when sitting the outline is very noticeable. I did debate on whether to purchase the product based on the pictures on the site based on the formation around the pistol, but, hey, I like supporting my fellow Americans! Which bring me to my second point, the curvature. In my opinion, due to the formation of the Kydex around the pistol, the leg curvature seems a bit far back adding to the print in lighter clothing. When sitting at a desk or in a meeting, it can be quite obvious as to what is hidden beneath. It does well for breaking up the bottom silhouette of the holster, but that still leaves the print of the handgun.
Vedder Holsters has a 30 return policy, but to be honest, I never entertained that idea. I love the Pocket Locker for jeans, cargo pants/shorts, and other clothing, however I will still need to find another alternative to carry when in slacks, which the LightTuck may be next on the list (did not purchase first due to the fact I have to enter a school twice a day, and carry is a no-no). Thanks Vedder Holsters for a quality product.
Perefect option for my CW380
Sometimes i don't always carry my larger Ruger and just need something secure to hold my smaller CW380 and it works just tossing it in my pocket. Snaps the gun in place and securely protects the slide and trigger. Love the thumb tab option too. Good work Vedder
Great w the right options...
First off Vedder makes the best Kydex holsters on the market between their Lightuck and Pocket Locker. There are better alternatives as far as hybrid holsters go however. But back to the Pocket Locker. It offers the perfect amount of resistance. I first bought a curved Locker. After receiving it i noticed although the curve made it very comfortable, i noticed the firearm would easily turn in my pocket (BG380). The printing still made out a firearm, and if the corner did not catch on the pocket i would have to use two hands to remove the holster. After exchanging it for a ambidextrous no curve Locker with a Thumb release option i couldnt be happier. The Locker being flat stabilizes the firearm so much more and the printing is gone completely. And even if the corner does not catch, or if i want to draw from inside my pocket first, the thumb release makes it much easier and more practical to accomplish a draw reliably. So in my first hand opinion, get the ambidextrous/no curve Locker with a thumb release
The Perfect Match
I was looking for a pocket holster for my SIG P238. I had always just used those soft holsters (you know the ones) and had never used kydex holster so this was something new for me. Two things caught my eye, the very nice website which is easy to navigate and give complete descriptions, and the thumb feature on the pocket holster. I will also say email communication was great. All questions answered in a timely manner.
Now to the holster. Out of the box it fit my little SIG perfectly. Well made with attention to detail. I wear jeans 99% of the time and it fits perfectly in my jean pocket and the thumb release works like a charm.
I think enough of this holster that I plan on ordering another one if a different color plus, I plan on ordering one of their IWB and OWB holsters.
I highly recommend Vedder products.
Great Product
As of now these are the only holsters I will buy! I have the RapidTuck Holster for my Glock 43 and I never even know I'm carrying it! The Pocket Locker is a nice addition for summer carry as well!
Just needed some MINOR adjustments
Recently purchased a Vedder holster for my Sig p238. I'm a left handed shooter and got the the curved option as well as the 'lip' feature. The lip feature sounded great on paper but in my pocket, it felt like a screwdriver was sticking into my leg. A suggestion to Vedder..... "roll" the lip a little more so a rounded edge makes contact with the leg and not the 90 degree, bent over straight edge of the lip. If you're using shallow pocket, you won't notice it. If your pockets are deeper, the lip feature will jab right into your thigh. What I did to fix this was, took out my dremel and sanded the lip down then a buffer wheel to smooth it out and perfection! I still have a tiny lip to "prime" the gun with and it's super comfortable now. All in all, a great holster that's sealed at the bottom to keep out pocket lint and the hook does a good job of preventing the entire holster from popping out when you draw it.
Great Design
My first time buying Vedder products. I bought this and a RapidTuck. The Pocket Locker is a great design. My only complaint is it fits my Kahr PM9 w/ CT a little too tight. I'm hoping over time this will loosen up some. Everything else is perfect about this holster. Thank you!
*VH COMMENT*
Will,
Thank you for your recent order! We do offer complimentary retention adjustments with all of our holsters, so if you ever decide that you would like the retention on your Pocket Locker adjusted, please just let us know and we will be happy to get that setup for you. Thank you for your business!

Great Pocket Holster
I was looking for a kydex pocket holster, and came across Vedder holsters, I ordered it and it arrived only a week after I ordered it. I am very happy with it, the Glock 42 fits perfectly and it sits in my front pocket nicely. I was so impressed with the quality that I ordered a Light Tuck for one of my other guns, these guys will be my go to for kydex holsters.
Well Worth the Money
I pocket carry and there is no printing whatsoever. The key is picking the right pants and pocket.
Perfect Glock 43 concealment
After endless hours of holster shopping, I found this awesome product that molds perfectly and securely retains my Glock 43. Low profile and very minimal printing in pocket. Release from holster exiting the pocket works every time. Superior trigger protection and sturdy enough to protect in any pocket, yet not bulky. Also purchased the Rapid Tuck for G43, fit is perfect and quality of leather and workmanship is second to none. You will be pleased with the outstanding customer service and attention to detail from this company!
awesome holster
I received my holster two days after ordering. Came in a nice little package. Immediately put my gun in and began carrying my sig p238. I will be ordering more holsters from vedder.
pocket locker for HK P30sk
What a great holster I wanted a pocket holster for an HK p30sk with ambi manual safety levers and vedder holsters made one special for me and it works great and looks great and it also got made fast none of that waiting for weeks like other holster companies vedder holsters is awesome. thank you
Works great
I like having options for concealed carry and the Vedder Pocket Locker is a wonderful addition to have.
Thumb tab and curve of the holster are great additions.
Practice your draw. Practice, practice, practice.
Awesome holster
This is an exceptional product I first purchased one for my glock 43 and I liked it so much I purchased one for my Sig sauer p938. I only wish that it had a little more curvature so it would sit in my pocket a little better but even then it's not that big of a deal.
Don't recommend
My ruger lc9s fits very well in the shell however it does break up the outline of the weapon in my pocket. Looks exactly like I have a pistol in my pocket. Worse it has failed to stay in my pocket when drawing every time. Will be returning this product for their lighttuck for my new sig p238. Love the light tuck.
**VH COMMENT**
Cory,
Thank you for your feedback. The amount of print that is visible in your pocket does vary based on your gun model and clothing style, but the majority of the time, the print should not be noticeable. With regard to the holster drawing with your gun, it does take practice to get the hook to catch on your pants. We also offer an optional thumb tab at no additional cost that allows you to unholster your weapon while still in your pocket, which would also resolve this issue. We are glad to hear that your LightTuck holster is working out well for you and thank you for your business.
Best regards,

Walther PPS version
This product fits inside my jeans front pocket well, works as advertised. Just wish the retention was a tad tighter, it's a real loose fit making for easy extraction but if you hold it upside down and give a light shake it will fall out. More of a worry if I drop the gun/holster I'd wish the gun would stay in the holster. Otherwise it's what I was looking for.
great holster!
Awesome fit and finish. Holster is very well designed pocket holster. Works awesome!
Nears a Little Wear
I bought this pocket holster for my new SIG P238. It is a strong and well-made product. The fit is great, but it does need a little normal "wear and tear" to be perfect. When new, the holster tends to retain the pistol a little more securely than I care for, making it a little hard to remove from the pocket quickly. However, I'm sure it will improve with practice and use. Otherwise, I love it and highly recommend it!
perfect
I was in search of a good pocket holster and after many failed attempts I found this holster and it has been everything I have wanted. The holster rides every day in my pocket and fits the Glock 42 perfect, you cannot tell I have it and it is very comfortable . I look forward to doing business with Vedder holster again !!
Perfect fit with just enough retention
1) Perfect fit and slim.
2) The trigger is completely covered.
3) The retention level is just right if you 'hook' backward slightly during the draw. This method also allows you to draw your firearm with 'master grip' in place.
3) The curved option is great to reduce printing.
4) I personally feel that the thumb release is not really needed because of #3.
top of the line, second to none...
I have bought a few pocket holsters from reputable companies only to be let down. When I saw the POCKET LOCKER I was impresed how it wraps the whole firearm not just half. The thumb tab is a feature I never heard of but thought it is a good idea. Anyway I ordered one and received it very fast, the PACKADGING itself is way cool I will leave it at that not to ruin any surprise. Let's just say I was very impressed on how it is packaged. The first time I picked up the holster I could feel the quality. My GLOCK 42 fits perfectly it disappears in my pocket and the holster stays in my pocket EVERYTIME I draw the weapon. It is a very very good buy. It gives me hope that there are still quality holsters out there. VEDDER HOLSTERS is an AWSOME company that sales and stands behind there great product. Thank you Vedder family and employees. You all ROCK..... Ron
Super service/great holster
Delivered on all promises! Custom made, shipped on time, easy to track and received early! Fits my LC380 like a glove and draws easily. Thanks for your superb service and great product!
Outstanding Product
In a word, outstanding!
Bought this for my Kahr P380, and couldn't be happier.
I tried other pocket holsters and could never get a clean, consistent draw from the pocket. I found it extremely difficult to remove the pistol from my pocket without the holster coming out with it.
The "Pocket Locker" with thumb tab totally eliminated this problem for me. From the first practice draw, and every draw since, the holster remains in my pocket.
Plus, the "Pocket Locker" does a much better job of concealing the shape of the pistol within my pocket.
Looking forward the the arrival of the LightTuck that I ordered for my M&P Shield.
Nearly Perfect
I will get the only downside out of the way first: The pistol will print some. If someone is looking to see if you are carrying, they will probably see it. I'm not sure if this is avoidable without a cover flap, however, which would completely change the nature of this holster.
Now to the great: I was concerned that the Kydex would fit too tightly to my pistol. It does not, the fit is absolutely perfect for pocket carry. The material is perfectly molded to the pistol, yet the only resistance to release is slight friction. The thumb break is fantastic. The edges of the holster are so well finished that I don't feel the edge of the thumb break against my thigh, even in relatively tight jeans, and the break really makes drawing much cleaner.
Overall, I am very impressed. To top it all off, it is very reasonably priced for a quality holster.
If you want to carry......
This is the 3rd gun that I have bought a Pocket Locker in order to carry. The fit and functional option of the holster for my G43 is outstanding. A pocket size 9mm is incredible in the first place, but to have such a useful holster to properly and safely carry it makes it perfect. You don't have to carry a runaway gun any more. Thanks Vedder Holsters for a great product.
Glock 43 Pocket Locker
My third Vedder holster (three different guns). Just as good as the first two. Retains firearm sufficiently while in pocket yet releases easily when drawn. Thumb tab makes for easy draw without drawing the holster also. Fully covers trigger guard without interfering with grip. Works in both jeans and cargo pant pockets. Received three business days after placing order.
Glock 42
Received the Pocket Locker with thumb tab today. Fits my 42 perfectly. Great retention.
Loose fit, but good quality!!!
Received my pocket holster recently. The quality of the holster is very good and locks in with a snap. The only fault I have is the XDs is not locked in snugly; comes out of the holster too easily.
high quality and timely shipping.
Just like the lite tuck before it, I find the pocket locker to fit my pistol ( Kimber micro) very well and is of the highest quality. I don't know how you can ask for anything more.
Delivery time on both products was very timely, and the color ( coyote brown) complements the wood grips very well.
Great holster!
I purchased this for my M&P Shield 9mm with a Crimson Trace green laser. It has good retention, fits very well in my pocket and draws easy. The edges are really smooth with no burs. You can tell that Vedder takes pride in their product. I emailed them with a question on Saturday morning expecting them to get back to me on Monday. They replied that evening. That's good customer service, in my opinion. Those things and the fact that they stand behind their product will make me a return customer.
best I've ever owned.
I bought other brands of pocket holster, This is by far the best I've ever owned. Great fit. No printing. Like all holsters you will need to practice you draw. Pocket carry may not be for everyone.
Great holster
I've been using a tuck holster for years and I like not having the bulk on my hip for a change. The holster is light and quality made. It takes a little while to get your draw down so the holster doesn't come out with the gun, but after you build up the muscle memory, it becomes second nature.
Sig Sauer 290RS
Excellent quality and perfect fit. excellent retention of pistol. Holster stays put in pocket, when drawing pistol just apply light pressure downward so hook grabs pocket edge. This is just what I have been searching for, 5 STARS. GREAT JOB VEDDER. I am so impressed that I will be purchasing other models for my larger pistols. THANKS AGAIN
Not Vedder's best
Regretfully, I must report that the Pocket Locker absolutely refused to "lock" in my pocket, any pocket, not one.
My LCP was a perfect fit in the molded Kydex, but during numerous attempts to un-holster using all conceivable angles, the Locker never offered any resistance to leaving my pocket. This is the only disappointment I've had with any of my Vedder's products.
**VH COMMENT**
John,
Thank you for your continued business and for your feedback on your product. We do strive to offer only the best products available and we do have many customers that like the way the Pocket Locker works with their gun and clothing. Unfortunately the Pocket Locker draw does have some dependency on the combination of style of clothing, body shape, and gun model that you carry. Not all holsters are compatible with all people and we certainly understand that, which is the biggest reason we offer our 30 day money back guarantee. I see in our records that you are utilizing this option with your Pocket Locker and we will gladly issue you a refund for your holster as we certainly do not want you to be stuck with a product that does not work for you.
Best regards,

High Quality for a Low Price
Holster fits my Glock 42 perfectly, and safely surrounds the trigger guard to prevent accidental discharge. You can't beat Vedder for quality and price.
Flawless Customer Service!
Ordered a Glock 42 pocket holster for southpaw & thumb release (just ask for it during checkout). First off; very happy that lefties are accomodated for. Build quality, molding & retention were all amazing.
I appreciate how the slide is fully covered on the sides; which eliminates any worry about scratching the gun if I happen to throw my keys in the same pocket. The thumb release was effective at partial holster release; but made the draw process less standardized & was the only portion uncomfortable after prolonged use.
In the end, I desuced that wanted another holster with a draw clip about 1/2" longer than the default size. The default length appeared to be a out 1/4" shorter than the bottom of the G42 mag; but provided a smaller overall pocket imprint. I asked customer service is they would be willing to accomodate the 1/2" extension (for definite catch around pinky finger as I draw EVERY time) & they gladly offered to build a new one for me. Wish I could give 6 stars for customer seevice alone. I will definitely order future holster here & recommend to all contacts.
didnt stay in the pocket
I gave it 2 because I only tested it with two pairs of pants, but 90% of the time I drew the weapon the holster came with it. Maybe it's user error or a bad pocket/holster combination, but if it can't stay in the pocket it's essentially useless.
awesome holster and great customer service.
I received my new pocket locker from Vedder today and I love it. Fit and retention are awesome. I received it within one week of ordering and the people at Vedder are really nice to deal with. In my opinion one of the best, if not the best, kydex pocket holsters out there.
Best pocket holster.
I have tried many pocket holsters for my Smith and Wesson body guard 380, and this is the best. Fits into all front pockets even tight jeans.
Outstanding pocket holster
I have been using the Vedder Pocket Locker holster for about 6 months now and it is outstanding! I carry my Kal-Tec P3AT daily and there is no printing. The holster has excellent retention so the pistol doesn’t fall out in my pocket. When drawn the hook catches the pocket and the pistol comes out cleanly every time (use a draw to the rear). When you order ask for the thumb release lip option. They bend a little of the Kydex just where the thumb touches the holster, this allows you to push the holster off while it is still in the pocket, if time permits. I have tried other “soft sided, sticky” pocket holsters and they don’t hold the pistol upright in my pocket; they also don’t always release as you drawl. If you are looking for a new pocket carry, considering trying pocket carry, or have tried the “sticky” holsters and don’t like them either; this is the holster for you. It has great retention, protects the trigger, stands upright, and releases smoothly, what more could you want from a holster?
good holster
I like how slim the holster is. It works well for what I use it for.
I should have had them cut the holster down a bit which was an option to make the holster fit better in my front pocket.
Other then that I love it and I will use it daily
Very well designed and constructed pocket holster
This holster design from Vedder Holsters pays attention to the handgun for which it was designed. My pocket holster was built for a S&W 380 semi-automatic pistol which features a built in laser with an activation button in front and slightly above the trigger guard. By including a channel along the plane of the activation button, this kydex holster does not accidentally turn on the laser while returning the pistol to the holster which would kill the laser battery rendering it inoperative when needed. Additionally, the holster was carefully constructed to allow space for the slide release and the safety buttons. The holster catches the inside of the pocket with the right amount of resistance to allow extraction of the pistol without pulling the holster out of the pocket. It also hides the print of the pistol.
GREAT PRODUCT!
I never really considered my M&P Shield for pocket carry until I saw the Pocket Locker. I ordered the holster out of curiosity. The order was quickly filled. I put my Shield with laser into the holster and to my surprise, it disappeared into my jeans front pocket. Even with the extended mag! The hook works just like it's supposed to when the gun is pulled out. I'm really pleased and it's nice to have another carry option. I would highly recommend this product!
Quality Made to Order Holster
The pocket locker holster I ordered for my Kimber Solo was delivered quickly and was exactly as advertised. The build and quality seems great, and Vedder added a custom thumb break as requested for no additional charge. The fully enclosed barrel end of the holster keeps debris out of the barrel, but the holster is still small and thin enough to fit nicely in my front pocket. Great holster and great company. I recommend Vedder and will likely be a repeat customer.
Outstanding Product
I bought this holster fo a Sig Sauer P290 and it works well. I prefer it over the Desantis Nemesis as it carries better. Good quality and in a pocket on a hot day it will protect the firearm better. The shipping was quick and ni hassle. I will buy from this company again.
The Pocket Locker Is the "Stand Up" holster
When the weather gets cooler in South Carolina, I take putting on a jacket as the opportunity to switch from IWB carry to pocket carry. Formerly, the DeSantis Nemesis was my holster of choice. When I got the new Glock 42 (Great Gun!), I decided to give the Pocket Locker a try. Great decision! Unlike the soft sided pocket holsters, the PL can be relied upon to remain in a vertical position. Obviously, this ensures that my Glock is accessible. It also ensures that the gun remains in the most comfortable and concealed position in my pocket. Finally, I love the way that the full Kydex construction protects the entire weapon.
The fact that arrived at my home within 5 days of placing the order, rather than the 8 Weeks-to-Never delivery time offered by other makers of custom holders, was a real plus.
In brief, I would highly recommend this holster for those who prefer the convenience of pocket carry and who want their new holster NOW!
Well Built! EZ Customization! Great Price!
I guess my title could be the review...
Got my holster for my Glock 42 the other day. I asked for a thumb break and stated that I'm a lefty. My holster arrived quickly with the thumb break on the appropriate (right) side, and I was eager to try it out. It was a bit tight at first but after about an hours worth of practice (with an unloaded gun) it really started to smooth out. I have never used a pocket holster, so I had to figure things out. I am a Front Sight distinguished grad so I applied much of what I learned there to this holster- presenting the weapon, holstering, etc. Being safe. Not muzzling my holstering hand. This took some thinking as you really need to change the gun to your support hand to holster it, then return the gun to your firing hand to return it to your pocket.
I highly recommend this holster. It is well built and works well. Take the time to practice with it. Be safe.
BEST ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN THE KYDEX HOLSTER INDUSTRY
I have no idea how big or small this company is, but I can say the following with confidence and knowledge: This company's products, of which I have 5, are the most superb Kydex I have found - anywhere. As you all know, finding the correct holstering solution for carrying your firearm is at least as important as choosing your ammunition. The trimming, custom thumb-break, sizing, seaming process, riveting, etc. from Vedder Holsters can't be beat. I have no axe to grind here, I don't even know these guys. But I know this - I've bought dozens and dozens of holsters. Most of them sit in drawers unused. I've never been unhappy with the 5 I've purchased from Vedder. I would say it's safe to say that I have one on me at all times, unless I'm in a location where it's illegal to carry. KEEP IT UP!!! A+A+A+A+A+.
perfect fit!!!!!
Easy to use very concealable will buy another for my other guns!!!!
Fits Like a Glove!
Anout two months ago I purchased a Glock 42 (.380), and needed a holster for concealed carry. I've been a cop for almost 27 years, and when I'm off duty, I prefer to carry my pistol in my pocket. I also purchased a S&W Bodyguard .380 about a year ago and shortly thereafter, I purchased a "Sticky Holster" for it, so that I could carry it in my pocket. The holster was exactly what the name implied....sticky! My pistol would "stick" inside the holster every time I would try and draw it. Not only did the holster and all come out of my pocket, but the front sight would catch on the top seam of the holster, and I would have to put duct tape over it to keep my rear sights from snagging. One night while researching the web, I ran across "Vedder Holsters". They claimed that their holsters were made individually in their store, and molded perfectly for each weapon. After reading a few of the reviews, and researching the fact that they made a pocket holster (called the "Pocket Locker") for both of my pistols, I decided to send an email to them inquiring about whether the "Pocket Locker" would work appropriately with Cargo shorts, and a couple other concerns I had. The next morning, I received a response from Mike Vedder telling me that he thought the holster wold work fine, and that they also had a new design that would add a slight curve to the holster, thus making it more comfortable against my leg. He also told me that they could include a thumb break for no extra charge. (The thumb break is simply a slight beveled curve at the top of the holster that allows you to push downward with your thumb when drawing the pistol "up", and out of the holster. I also told Mike that I had installed TruGlo TFO (Trijicon) Fiber Optics Sights on both the front and the rear of the Glock 42, and I was concerned about the sights not fitting within the holster. (I had previously purchased a De Santis pocket holster called "The Nemesis"), and the pistol was very tight, and stuck up almost one inch from the top and the end of the barrel was over a half inch from the end of the holster. I sent them a letter to ask if this was normal, and was told "yes, sticking up like that keeps the sight from catching on the top of the seam. (that sounded familiar), and allows you to draw the gun. Well, when I asked Mike about whether or not they had the ability to make the holster with a "sight channel" to help accommodate my Fiber Optic Sights, he said, "definately"! He instructed me to include any special instructions in the comment box when purchasing the holster. My holsters were completed in a couple of days, and I received them in the mail two days later. I received an email with tracking info, contact numbers, and any other information I might need in case I had any questions or concerns. Needless to say, the holsters fit like a glove....literally! I love the fact that the holster is sealed at the bottom, thus covering the end of the barrel to keep lint, and other pocket debris out of my pistol. The pistol also drops in with minimal effort, and locks in place with a significant "click"... Now, if I hold my Glock 42 upside down and shake the holster, the gun will come sliding out (which is exactly what I want). They holster has a hook on the bottom of the holster that is made to catch the hem inside my pants when I draw the weapon. I love the fact that the gun fits tight enough that it's not going to just fall out while I'm sitting down, but DEFINATELY will come out easy enough should I have to draw it. I think if your looking for a holster that works, is comfortable, made perfectly for your make and model of gun, then you can't go wrong. Plus the fact, that if you're not satisfied, they will give you a refund within 30 days. A friend of mine purchased a IWB (Inside Waist Band) holster from Vedder for his Glock 42, and says its the most comfortable holster he's ever worn... The customer service is awesome, and so are the holsters!
Great product....
Sturdy, great fit and finish. Best I've found for my Sig p238...
Pocket Locker
Awesome pocket holster. Received in 2 days.. Did a little modification of bending a thumb release for easy out of pocket to suit my preference and curved the bottom hook a little.
Great people to work with!
Bought for my Sig P938. Exchange of emails with Mike Vedder about a modification I wanted and one that he suggested. Emails were answered within hours. Ordered on Thursday and received nonstandard holster the following Tuesday. Fantastic customer service! Holster is as requested and now housing my pistol. Good retention without being overly tight which could be problem for pocket draw. Thumb ledge I requested was perfect and makes for easier withdrawal of the pistol from the holster. This is my second holster from them and both are in use.
GREAT POCKET HOLSTER
Order this along with a RapidTuck for my Glock 42. It works great in my shorts pockets for carrying this summer. Excellent quality for a reasonable price. Very quick shipping. Liked Vedder's quality so much I ordered a ComfortTuck Mini for my Shield and a QuickDraw OWB for my Glock 23. Can't wait to get them in.
Pocket pistol protection perfection
Just received my pocket locker for my glock 42. Absolutely love it. It conceals the pistols profile wonderfully, is easy to draw from the pocket, protects the pistol from lint and pocket debris very well.one con and it's a very small one. I wish there was just a tiny bit more tension on the pistol. I understand that it can't be tight because of the draw technique, but just a little more tension would be wonderful.
ONLY WAY TO POCKET CARRY!
I have a drawer full of other manufacturers' holsters I tried before finding the Vedders. Their attention to detail, material, and willingness to add custom features makes them the best kydex holsters in the business, in my humble opinion
Invisible
Perfect for my Glock 42. Ease of use and no printing.
