But, as with every option, there is a tradeoff.

Additionally, the pistol has excellent sights.

This is another feature usually found on larger pistols.

So here I found myself with a pocket-sized pistol featuring full-size capabilities.

Everything I thought I knew about carry gun choices had been turned on end.

But which holster would I pick?

One of the biggest problems faced by a pocket holster is how to balance grippiness versus slickness.

The Galco StukOn-U accomplishes this through what it calls a Gripper Shell exterior.

This material has a textured surface that is extremely grippy and pretty sharp looking as well.

Inside the holster, the interior lining is made of 420 denier packcloth.

This smooth material protects the finish of the pistol and ensures a quick release during the draw.

According to the directions, the StukOn-U is designed for front pocket carry.

The sticky shell of the holster will help in this effort.

To be frank, the Hellcat is on the larger size for pocket carry this is no micro .380.

The holster also kept the pistol solidly anchored in my pocket all day.

There was no shifting or movement it just stayed put.

Drawing the pistol was easy and intuitive.
