Pocket carry is overrated. When I get the funds up, my choice would be either a PPK or 642, AIWB
Nada, on both counts. However, from borrowing a friend's, and practicing; pocket carry simply won't cut it- not for me, nor for what I wear day to day. I would be better served with an AIWB or "other" yet undetermined set-up, with either a Centennial Smith or subcompact steel .380So . . . what do you currently have and how do you carry it?

Cool. I started with IWB and I couldn't adapt to that very well. So I moved on to pocket, shoulder, and OWB. Due to my work, pocket carry is at least 90% of how I carry.
Okay, that's not entirely true. My first pocket gun is the Beretta 21A and I normally carried it in a fanny pack (lol) back in the day while running or cycling.
At one time I had five true pocket guns, now I only have three and one of them (Beretta 21A) is never carried anymore.
I carry a Taurus PT732 with a PT22 as a back up.
I started with pocket, moves to IWB, and went to OWB. My dress allows that.I started with IWB and I couldn't adapt to that very well. So I moved on to pocket, shoulder, and OWB

My rational is that if you can’t do it with 5 .38s, you need to learn how to shoot or it’s frankly just your time. Small revolvers are always more reliable than small autos. A contact shot with the muzzle pressed against the attacker will jam an automatic, not so with the wheelgun. Also the revolver can fire a wider variety of loads and bullet profiles. Snake shot will blind an attacker and can be used for four legged and no legged vermin, and is my choice carry load for the first two rounds. If that isn’t enough, three DEWC loads are up last.
