i am 115lbs i have small pockets, i cant pocket carry much more then an lcp. but i usually have a EMP in my supertuck.
 
I think you would be fine with a pocket semi-auto or an appropriate revolver. The subcompacts are going to be too burdensome to effectively pocket carry. IMHO.
 
I used to carry a Colt DS in my pocket nearly all the time, but you could definitely tell that there was something out of the ordinary in there, so I switched to a a KT p3at, but sold it, and now rarely pocket carry at all.
 
I was a Federal Investigator for over a quarter of a century (Darn, that sounds long when I write it that way), working on the Southern border. Pocket carry was, in the work I was doing, the most efficient way for me to go.

I carried, and still carry, a custom made 9mm - a LaFrance NOVA. This is a STAR BKM, cut down smaller than a Walther PPK, but still full 9mm. In fact, STAR came out with the Firestar after they saw what Tim LaFrance was doing, but the Firestar uses a steel frame, which makes it too heavy.

And at 6' and 200#, I can conceal it in the front pocket of a pair of jeans.
 
Everyone seems to inately think front pocket. LCP or P3AT in a Desantis Superfly in your back pocket looks just like your wallet, I mean dead on...no one even would question it if you bent over and put your butt in their face :barf:.

I have noticed some of my khaki's rear pocket is just a tad too shallow, but the docker's relaxed fit brand works perfectly for me. I sit at a desk most of the day, and it doesn't bother me at all.

If I move up to my glock 27 I go with a belly band or a desantis Superfly tucked in on the strong side (make sure that trigger is protected) the whole clip draw scares the **** out of me on a Glock with nothing to protect the trigger. I just like those options more because they hold the weapon tight enough that you can still get away with a golf shirt over it but gives it some padding that it won't dig into my love handles.
