How sensitive are the metal detectors? A little change in the pocket usually goes through just fine. And what about aluminum cased ammo plus a full stainless steel gun, like a S&W 5906? If the spring is the only thing a metal detector could pick up, is that enough? Most metal detectors are a little forgiving. I've never have the steel shank in my boots be a problem, for example, or the rivets in my jeans. Never saw a woman have trouble with metal fasteners on their brassieres at a metal detector.
