There are pockt holesters that will hide the outline of your gun. I use one to conceal my Ruger LCP and it looks like you have a wallet in your pocket and yes it is California leagal. I am not sure of the make of it but I could find it out for you if you want.

On the approved list...
Kahr Arms PM-9 Not on the approved list... Rohrbaugh R-9 IMO... "Mouse guns" are best suited for pocket carry. Most 9x19mm & .38Special handguns tend to be too big for effective pocket carry. Bobo's pocket guns comparison chart.

I pocket carry my PM-9 all the time, great pistol, its been totally reliable and very accurate for its size. I have the all black night sight version also and carry it in a holster Kahr no longer offers; my buddy carries his in a Desantis and likes it.
It will look like you're carrying your wallet in your front pocket but no one pays any attention to it. Might need some looser pants if you print with just a pocket knife. Some pants have pockets a bit too small for easy access, I've heard of other people having their pockets modified a bit for more room.

 If you do, people won't ask, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" They'll just stay very far away.Thundewear holsters look good. http://www.thunderwear.com/ The SigTac leather jacket looks good too. They weigh a lot though. They have huge, deep pockets. You can fit a whole ream of 8 1/2"x11" of paper in each pocket. http://www.sigsauer.com/SigStore/Sho...?categoryid=77

You didn't specify, so how about an ankle holster and an Airweight etc.? With the right slacks or flared Wranglers/Levis you can easily hide quite the leg cannon. A small revolver & ankle holster presents no problems for carry. Squat to grab your gun and you're already down for a good shooting stance.
They make some sand-filled ankle weight straps with velcro attachment for exercise purposes. You can wear a light one on the other ankle to balance the weights and help you keep a normal stride when walking. Or wear spare mags on the other ankle if a small auto is used.

I carry my 5 shot .38 snubnose in a pocket holster and feel it is the best way to carry. The pocket holster breaks up the outline so it does not look like a gun.
Also, you can casually put your hand on the gun without drawing attention to yourself. I also have a couple regular holsters and have tried a "behind the back" carry with my .38 and with my .40 and feel that it is too easy to make. If you wear a baggy printed shirt, you can get away with it, but it is not as easy as the pocket holster. Also, the pocket holster works well with shorts and a T shirt. You can buy them anywhere, I got mine at a gun show for $20 bucks.
