Pocket Pistol

[JandSCattleCo]

I'm wanting a new carry gun and thinking small and light, no frills, just point and shoot.

Currently carry a S & W 638 but want to go smaller. The wheel gun is actually pretty big.

Thinking of either the Ruger lcp or the Keltec in .380. I'd even consider a .22 long rifle or .22 mag.

Just want something small and concealable. My shirts, even tshirts are always tucked in, and I hardly wear a coat even in winter. Just thinking the small gun would fit in the back pocket. I wear cowboy cut wranglers so the pockets are a bit tight.

I pack a Keltec it fits in my pocket very well, the Ruger would probley be just as good.

I haven't bought one yet, but the next gun I buy will be the lcp.
I am usually dressed like you, and carrying a gun anywhere besides the pocket can be difficult.
I think it is the most practical option for pocket carry. With a small caliber pistol, you might need more than one or two shots, so the little derringers are out for me, and I think the lcp is just as concealable as the little .22 mag revolvers, so I'm going to opt for the .380.

Another LCP vote

I was going to say s&w 642 airweight but since no revolvers I'd go the lcp route.

I've been carrying the Ruger LCP for two years and I love it.

Anything and everything you ever wanted to know about the LCP can be found here.

I pocket carry a Ruger LC9 in a DeSantis pocket holster. LCP would be a good choice for pocket carry also.

I have a preference toward the Kahr PM and CM series in 9mm.

Looked at the lc9, sig p238 and the Taurus tcp today. The sig was nice but little expensive. The tcp had a better feel than the lcp. The lc9 is slightly larger, but its ok because I already have 9mm in the safe and they are cheaper than .380. Hmmmmmmm

Check out the Diamondback .380. They are small but sort of glock like in build. When I was buying one last year I got down to between the DB and the LCP. Went with the Diamondback just because of the glock like feel.

i carry a ruger lcr with ct laser grips daily in a pocket holster and my wife carrys a kel tec 380, both carry nice but i wear loose fit jeans and the 380 is awesome for being a bit lighter and thinner, but usually orients itself in weird ways where as the lcr tends to stay put. generally i carry my lcr unless im wearing tighter jeans and then i take the 380. also i keep the first 2 or 3 shells snake shot in the lcr as i work outside and it does a dandy job critters at close range and always goes bang! what little ive shot the keltec i really like it also and its been reliable, my father in law carrys a lcp and my mother in law a taurus tcp so ive been around a few pocket guns, they all do a dandy job but if i was you id pick a ruger or kel tec
