pocket pistols...

Get the cm9 and be done with it. No matter how snappy you perceive it, you'll be able to empty the mag center mass.


When you donate to Goodwill you help put people to work

Well now I'm torn....either get a pocket 9 and hate it or get a pocket 380 that I can carry anywhere but guarantees rape.

It is a tough decision, but I think the choice is easy when you consider the fact that anyone who carries a pocket .380 probably likes being dude raped.

The LCP easily has the worst trigger of any gun I've ever fired. It has a false reset. Apparently you have to go to the 2nd click. Stupid.

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.

Why not the Aguila Super Max? Even being 10 grain weight less than the Interceptor, it hits with a few more pounds of energy and still the fastest .22 ammunition on the market.

I don't know that I could trust any rimfire enough for SD...

 

[bearpugh]

Had one of those I bought from @bearpugh . We called it the Lo-Point!

lol. i remember.

 

[bearpugh]

lil airweight snubby.

 

[Willy Leadwell]

For you, yeah. Those holes you've cut in them to play pocket pool ain't holding a gun.

You guys don't cut holes in all your pockets??

Only for the game, Pass the plate!

Because I think penetration would be the only thing that can be expected or usable out of a short barrel .22lr, and so the interceptor is superior in that regard.
From the 21A I think it managed 17" with interceptor and about 11" with supermax

 

[bearpugh]

actually one of my fave pocket guns is the little keltec p32. actually enjoyable to shoot,accurate, but it is a 32.

 

[bearpugh]

but don't get a 9 you hate. get what you WILL carry. can't help if its at home.

I pocket carry a 357 LCR daily. I kinda have to at my job. I carry it in an Alabama Holster Company kydex pocket holster. The holster masks the outline of the gun perfectly and it is easy as hell to draw using the thumb tab to push off with.

Those are sweet, but too much for me. That 327 is what I want, or hell even the 22mag

It's actually not that bad at all (to me anyways). I'm not at all recoil sensitive though. I keep it loaded with this...

I'm not either, but the only 357 I have ever shot was an airweight; it wasn't a painful experience, but no way in hell I could put rounds down fast with it. But alas, that 327 is dear to my heart for some reason. 327 Fed Mag, 32 H&R mag, 32 S, 32 L, and supposedly 32acp all work in it.

38 is about all i can stand in a lightweight snubby.

You haven't seen Jake's man hands, have you?

LCRs have great triggers!
