I carry a S&W 442 as I find it more reliable than any "bottomfeeder" when carried on the ankle or in the pocket.

The pocket and the ankle are the two places I like a BUG, but that's just me. Soon I will start carrying three guns. One strong side IWB, one weak side OWB (Ruger SP101) and one on the ankle or pocket depending upon my dress that day.

I had a Kahr PM9 but traded it for the SP101 because it better suits my needs. I have drawn the PM9 out of my pocket on more than one occaission to find that the magazine had been partially removed from the gun by my day to day activities. That's what I mean when I say a Revolver is more reliable in the smaller guns.

I'd look at the Airweight 38 Specials if it were me and I was looking for a BUG.
