I think pocket carry is a bad idea.
It may shift around and if it's in a holster and in your pocket, makes it more difficult to draw, at which point it makes it easier to carry IWB or OWB.
The small guns I carry are:
Kahr MK9 or MK40
Boberg XR9S
Walther PPK .32 (German)
All are too heavy for pocket carry, but in my opinion all are far superior to any $250 pocket crap gun. Yes they cost more. But they are precision pieces that always work.
If I HAD to pocket carry a cheap gun, it would probably be a Beretta 21A loaded with Aguila Interceptor, which being that it's only a .22lr with a 2.4" barrel it still provides excellent repeatable performance.
Here's a 5 shot average taken by a friend recently:
