Functionally I cant see any danger in regards to AD being carried that way. In the back pocket without a holster, you run a little
risk of the gun getting abused when sitting/turning. Try a little
inpocket holster for the mk. It will extend your comfort, the life of
your gun and it reduces printing. If you sell it, how much?
Also without a holster..your gun will get dirty/lint infested quickly.
Shoot well

You should be OK with a DAO pistol in the pocket, but make sure it's the ONLY thing in that pocket. Don't want stuff getting in the barrel or trigger guard.
The big advantage of a pocket holster is that the gun won't shift around and you will know what kind of grip you'll get on it.

Man, I almost shot my d*ck off once putting my MK9 in my front waistband without a holster. That trigger is just too smooth to go un-sheathed. Try an Uncle Mike's #3 Sidekick pocket holster. Works good.

B-D-B...
That's a little more common than I once thought. I was at the Winn Dixie last night reading the gun magazines while my wife shopped. I read one "SHORT" story where some Fed-Type had carried his Glock on the airplane. He had his Glock stuffed down the front of his pants, without a holster. Naturally, this got uncomfortable. He tried to shift the Glock to the other side of his pants--WITH HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER!!!!
The way the mag put it..."He emasculated himself with one shot and nearly bled to death before the pilot could get the plane down".
My wife found me and said, "Dear, why are you walking like that"? I could barely straighten up! I could barely talk! (Holy Sh...er Cow, yeah, that's the ticket!
)

Do not stick guns in your pants without holsters. There are several reasons why you should not do this. I will give a short list:
1. The weapon will fall out in a fight. In a fight where will you be? That's right--the ground. I'm sure some gun rag has said that this is a brillant idea, but it is hard to fight back without your pistol ("King's X!"). Another example is the hurried, fumbled draw. As you are running for something solid, you, not being the Selous Scout that everyone else is, may knock your pistol down your pants. P.J. O'Rourke writes about such as incident when his collective was invaded by the Balto Cong and the undercover mall ninja knocked his .45 down his bell bottoms.
2. The holster can help you in one-handed drills. Even if you do put a big, old (a little Southern lingo) scar on your rig (like I have done), a holster helps to clear Type II mals. Having a holster also helps in reloading one-handed.
3. The holster helps you conceal it by bringing tight against you.
4. A good holster helps you retain the pistol.
Putting the pistol in your pocket does not work for me. It may depend on your hand size, but it is slower as it is more difficult to obtain a proper grip in the pocket.
Buy a good holster.
