a pair of pants, and yes, front pocket carry is slow to draw. However, that's just a case of the shooter's stupidity. Have properly fitting slacks, or Khakis, a stiff plastic rig, with full access to acquiring a firing grip, IN the holster. Have a gun that's areal pocket pc, not some huge, heavy clunk of a double stack, and don't KID yourself that women give a crap about how you look in your pants, and the front pocket rig, used by a good man, is FASTER than a belt rig, used by a garnad, even if his coat IS open, and if both shottists are sitting.
