I need help in deciding a pocket gun. Cashier at a local gas station, fixing to start graveyard shifts... Corporate policy is a resounding "no", Manager's policy is "What I don't see, I can't do anything about.". It would be in cargo shorts, but would still need to hide well. Bearing in mind that being made would result in my immediate termination, with absolutely no questions asked; irrelevant of how much my manager adores me.
My choices have narrowed to an original Ruger LCP or an Airwieght Centennial Smith (or equivalent) in .38 Spl.
And yes, this is a "buying in the near future" post. And no, "Get another job." is not a sufficient answer. Besides the fact that I like this job, it is the only one I can get to as of now, for personal reasons.
I'd go with a snubby, in a Mika pocket holster, with grips to suit. But, that's me.
A lot feeds into this decision.
How much experience with carry do you have?
"LCP or Airweight"? -- have you handled and shot either? Little guns take work, and little automatics can be finnicky about running.
LCP, or LCP Max? The Max looks like (at least on paper) it fixes some of what I don't care for about the original LCP.
Pocket carry, or some kind of deep concealment holster?
