Just joined the forum. Thanks for having me.
I've used a Pager Pal for about 7 months for two larger guns; the Makarov 9 X 18 and the Glock 19 (9MM). It took several weeks of daily wear to brek in the leather but once it was softer and more flexible, it became relatively comfortable.
I was able to develop a fast draw by using my weak hand to push up on the muzzle from inside the left pocket. When the grip popped out, a cross-draw was easy. After putting finger extensions on my Glock's magazines, the Pager Pal became more difficult to slide up due to the extension 'catching' on my waistband. I'm thinking I should put my carry magazine back to stock for that reason.
As for the pager concept, yes, the phony pager is cheezy, however, they sell glasses cases, flashlight holsters, cell phone cases, etc. to replace the pager. I have ordered a glasses case with the hope I can fit a nice flashlight in it.
I have a pending dealership in the works with Pager Pal and currently am in the flashlight and headlamp business. That said, their customer service rep. advised me that my glasses case would be shipped out by the Thursday before last. My debit card hasn't even been charged yet, more than a week after the promised ship date and they haven't returned my call regarding the delay in shipping.
I'm in the middle of a gun show this weekend and since the pager clip that broke hasn't been replaced yet (same shipment), I can't even demonstrate the Pager Pal.
So, there are pluses and minuses with the Pager Pal. I'll be patient for a little while longer but.....
Oh yes, I agree that the P-3AT and the P-32 are best carried in the pocket and in a good pocket holster that allows you to access the grip easily and stay in the pocket (front or rear) when drawn. For the KT pocket pistols, a Pager Pal would be either overkill or underkill, depending on the situation. Do yourself a favor and use a pocket.
