Your favorite pocket gun - Page 3

CDW4ME · June 14, 2017, 07:24 AM

Tough choice between my Kahr PM9 or PM40
Carried as 2nd option in weak hand pocket to a larger pistol IWB.
I get slightly over 400# KE either way.
Corbon 115 +P JHP @ 1,264 fps / 408# KE
Federal Bonded 155 @ 1,086 fps / 406# KE

I love my little NAA 32acp, it feels like a solid gun in my hand and when its in the De Santis holster it all but disappears. Its like my wallet, dont leave home without it.

Siggy-06 · June 14, 2017, 08:16 AM

Ruger LCP or my Beretta Bobcat.

Hanshi · June 14, 2017, 04:42 PM

I guess it's my pre-WWII PPK 7.65 acp. It's pretty light and with plenty of "snap". Runner up is a S&W M60 .38spl. The little .32 would look nicer with a re-blue; just don't know if that's the way to go?

Carmady · June 14, 2017, 05:51 PM

Pico or LCP.

I'd like to be able to pocket carry a 642, but it'll take some effort to make it happen.

Ruger LCR 327 Fed Mag.
This really is an excellent choice. It is more powerful, more controllable, and more reliable than some of the other options discussed here.

And it carries six shots instead of the usual five and has a concealed hammer. Ugly gun, imo, but may be the best choice ever for a revolver being carried concealed.

john in jax · June 14, 2017, 07:07 PM

Now / currently a Glock 43 9mm

Was the std 2" snubby S&W 60 or a Ruger SP101 in .357mag.

kenny53 · June 14, 2017, 07:12 PM

Pocket carry is M&P 9MM Compact.

Cheapshooter · June 14, 2017, 08:25 PM

Ruger LCP. I also have a Kel-Tec p32, but prefer the 380acp round.
The little KT is fun to shoot, and I'm sure would be OK, but with the more powerful LCP being just as easy to carry, why not?

Kreyzhorse · June 14, 2017, 09:25 PM

Ruger LCP mainly but occasionally a Colt 1908 Vest Pocket.

volkstrm · June 15, 2017, 03:31 AM

When I carry A pocket gun it's my NAA Garden in 380ACP or better yet one of my Makarov's PM in 9x18 Makarov. I load it with Russian 109gr FMJ. This round is milsurp. It has some nice pop it it hot round. This round will penetrate well & get the job done. In 380acp in the NAA Garden would use +P Hard cast. Again I want to get it to penetrate as far possible. Don't need it bigger if it does not go deeper.

**Spats McGee** · June 15, 2017, 05:27 AM

Ruger LCR.

Maybe it's my favorite pocket gun because it's my only pocket gun, but I like it enough that I haven't seen a need to go looking for a different one.

franco45 · June 15, 2017, 09:34 AM

I have a lot of pocket pistols. I like little handguns. I carry an RM380 most of the time. I have tried several pocket 380s and found the RM380 to be my favorite. I do carry my P32 or Black Widow at the gym or walking the dogs.

Davecota · June 16, 2017, 06:43 PM

Yeah my current pocket gun is the LCP II. Love it and so easy to rapid fire with the new trigger they put in the 2nd gen LCP. I of course had it coated. This thing does with me everywhere. If I can't carry my normal CCW which is a P30sk then this is in my pocket or I also have a kydex holster for it and if I am able to carry my CCW it is actually on my left side as a BUG.

Now my wife, she did not like the punch on the 380 so I opted to get her a 32 in the Kel Tec P32. She had to have it coated as well though after seeing mine.

MINSH101 · June 16, 2017, 07:22 PM

For pocket carry, my dream is to get a Ruger LCR chambered in 9mm. Okay I also want one in .357.

Dave Chuppa · June 16, 2017, 08:55 PM

442

I agree, Dave. 2 Bianchi speed strips...nothing wrong with a 5 round revolver when you have a couple of those.

Carl the Floor Walker · June 20, 2017, 09:09 AM

Avid Pocket gun shooter. Went through 4 LCP's and then found the Pico and never looked back. I was so impressed that after 500 rounds of flawless operation on all kinds of ammo, I bought a second one. Very very mild shooters, no high five slap, steel frame, modular, etc. Now 1200 rounds through the first one over 500 the second one and no hiccups.
ordere a Khar CW380 should arrive first of next week. Be interesting to see how it fares to the Pico.

"Speed strips"-a classic oxymoron. We call them snail strips around here.

hdwhit · June 22, 2017, 02:11 PM

RG-25.

Don't laugh.

It fit perfectly in a 1970's Texas Instruments calculator case and never attracted anyone's suspicion. This was, after all, long before concealed carry became a thing for the masses.

I still own the gun and I have had to use it to defend myself on two occasions, so it has a permanent place in my heart.

Terminatorret · June 23, 2017, 10:30 AM

My favorite pocket guns are either the Ruger .357 LCR or S&W Model 36, both stoked with 158gr LSWCHP. When I can't wear a jacket or coat, these will carry nicely in my Wranglers right front pocket and I don't feel under gunned.
Now, if we're talking about a back-up gun (i.e. I have a big old .357 under my coat), then I will carry my NAA 1-5/8" barrel .22mag in one of my other pockets.

Armybrat · June 23, 2017, 03:08 PM

Obambulate · June 24, 2017, 07:49 AM

NAA Black Widow .22 Magnum.

FAS1 · June 24, 2017, 10:14 AM

Since I only have one pocket gun it has to be my favorite. Haven't had a reason to replace it in the last 10+ years. Keltec P3AT.

It's always in my pocket at home and when out and about with my normal CCW (G26 IWB).

jumpingeezer · June 24, 2017, 03:55 PM

S&W 638.

This ugly humpback model has been my carry piece for many years. I carry it in a pocket holster and it has never been detected as far as I know. The now popular baggy cargo shorts are great for concealed carry in the summer time. No worry about printing at all.

Totally snag free draw also.
