On a couple of CCW forums I have asked for brands of pants and jean with deep front pockets. I have found that even the $100 pants / jeans do not have that deep of pockets. I have an SP101 2.25 inch. A tailor I talked to said $15 a pocket to alter my pants.
My solution is a Dritz 9 in X 12 in denim iron on cloth patch for about $2.50 each. Look on Google. I cut the very bottom out of the pocket on a cutting board with a box knife, and make a pocket extension from the denim patch. I make the extension so it would cover most of the outside side of the pocket. That way the extra thick denim will help to lessen the printing. I was able to make the pocket about 3 inches deeper and have been carring the SP101 for about a week now. It does not print. Of course the jeans have been washed several times. You have to put some light cloth (an old tee shirt works fine) inside the patch where it comes in contact with itself or it will stick to itself when you iron it to the pocket.
I'll try it for a couple more weeks and then do my other pants with shallow pockets. The pics are not very good but maybe you will get the idea.
