"Actually, according to James Bond affectionados, James Bond preferred a 1932 in .380 (or was it the .32 1934?) and that "Q" had to insist that James switch to the Walther PPK. Myself, I don't know...not a fan of James Bond stuff. I have however, been a admirer of the .380 Walther PPK for many years."
Bond's Beretta was .25 ACP. M ordered him to go with the PPK in 32 ACP as the .25 had jammed on Bond and darn near got him killed. I've had several PPK's but prefer the PPK/s in .380. I also have a Manhurin PP in .32 ACP made under license from Walther. Very nice pistols. Paul B.

The Remington RM380 is a good looking little pistol. The one I have has been 100% reliable with round nose and hollow points. Remington bought Rohrbaugh and improved upon their design, adding a slide release lever and ambi mag release. It is not unpleasant to shoot either.

For style, a Smith & Wesson Model 38. Nickle plated, they are just cool.
Pocket carry using a Kramer holster. Like I said ,just cool. |

Style, then consider a Colt Model M in .32 ACP or .380 ACP.

Rather then get another gun for dress clothes, I'd just get a tuckable holster for your IWB gun.
Vedder light tuck and a 1911 disappears with a tucked shirt in my experience. I always just run my EDC tucked under a dress shirt at church on sundays. |

Not trying to make anyone look better, or worse. Just stating the facts. A loaded gun safely secured in a proper holster in a pocket is not a danger like a loaded gun being handled just to "show it off". No matter the experience level of the person handling it. Trained LE, and firearms instructors have had a ND. Many of which have been documented in videos. To me it just isn't that important to show off my "style" with my carry arms.

Don't you have to UNLOAD those guns to get the unloaded guns out of your safe?
Capmjustice seems to be well-versed in firearms handling. |

Pocket carry in slacks requires a light gun and good holster, nothing heavier than LCP. IMHO forget style and do practical.

Those are beautiful pieces. Do you carry them in rotation? Which one’s your favorite? Or would that be like asking which child is your favorite lol?

Currently pocket carry a Beretta Pico. It has all of the features I want in a small gun; DA/SA, reliable, lightweight, thin and a safe trigger suitable for pocket carry. It's very easy to clean. Good sights allow you to shoot well and has an optional integrated laser.
The other gun I pocket carried is the Seecamp. It was very reliable. No sights, harder to take down but so, so tiny and easy to conceal. Those were my picks for my needs. I think in terms of function over style. There are many good choices these days. |

A lightweight Browning .25 is a pretty flashy little gun, and the Renaissance model is probably the ultimate.

pocket pistol
For its time the 1870s the Webley Rpyal Irish Constabulary (RIC) was a international favorite!

Just bought one the other day. I normally carry a sig .380 and put it in a sticky pocket holster. That works great in smaller pockets but in larger pockets, it would turn on me and make it hard to retrieve. The slightly larger 43 fits well in my larger pockets and stays put with a Sticky holster. I guess you could say one size doesnt always fit all. The important part for me beyond staying put is that when in the right pocket, neither prints.

Small handguns which I own personally and are "cool-looking"...
The Mauser Model 1910 is in 25acp and somewhat smaller than the Model 1914 in 32acp. The Colt 1903 is a great-looking pistol. My Star Model CO is stainless steel, good-looking, and much better built than most small 25acp pistols. The Pico is stainless steel, interesting looking, and is a Beretta. Plus, if your hand isn't too large, it's actually very practical. Personally, I carry an LCR or LCP most of the time, but I'm kind of boring in general. |
