Pocket pistol collection! Post yours

Here are a few of mine:

Since this thread is still going...I pocket carry this in a holster quite a bit...but use an extended magazine from a Kimber. It doesn't look quite as new, now.

I don’t have any.

But I have been thinking I need one, and now I have lots of ideas.

I am going to list mine without pics.
Taurus PLY22s-2 of them
Taurus PT732-two of them
Beretta Tomcat
Taurus 850 snub
Taurus PT25
Taurus 856- two three inch barreled snubs
Ruger SP101
Bulgarian Makerov
Ruger LCP II in .22lrf

These get 99% of the EDC duty

I thought that the Hellcat was larger than it is???? I may need to look closer at it next time I'm in a shop.

We like pictures!

I guess these would be my two.

Yeah when I first saw them advertised in my head was the 3" XD subcompact, wasn't til I got a closer look that I realized just how small they are. The same foot print as the LC9s it replaced just a smidge wider.

I just added this S&W Model of 1913 (35 S&W caliber) to the collection. An interesting gun and S&W's first venture into autoloaders. It was not a successful effort for many reasons with less than 9K made. The gun has been relatively forgotten. Most folks never heard of it...even S&W fans.

Looks like you lost your ejector as well. Mine is missing too. I did like shooting it while it was in.

Did it still eject when fired? Most blowbacks will and only really require an extractor for clearing a live round from the chamber.

Sorry for taking so long to reply but the 1903 .32 DOES eject rounds. It functions quite well except for its accuracy. Anything within 30-50' is still going to be hurting, but they may still be breathing.

I meant the Astra.

You're right. I haven't shot the Astra in several years and I had not noticed that before. Damn. Now I'm going to have to try it and see if there is a problem. Thanks for noticing that.

Here's another one that i have, I did carry it to my informal 22 League.

We shoot 15 rounds at 7 yards, 20 rounds at 15 yards and 15 rounds at 25 yards and are shot standing unsupported.
I was extremely surprised I only had 4 outside the 9 ring.

Berreta 21 A?

If so,my wife bought one a while back and I was surprised at the accuracy, telling her it would not be good.

Yes 21a

Last week, while buying the M1913 a few posts up I noticed a minty Astra Cub (w/box) in the display case. Murphy strikes again! After searching for years I had found one at a gun show a month or so ago. I couldn't get it out of my head and headed to the shop today. The gun show Cub is already fielding offers and it looks like I'll end up with an upgrade AND a refund.

My $150 otd find (Taurus PT22) the other day. We shall see how it goes. Manufactured in 1993.

Thanks again for your good eyesight and alerting me to the fact that my pistol was "defunct".
I did some searching on my own without a lot of success but 2 posters in another forum gave some good links and advice. I also got lucky in that the son of a gunsmith who did some work for me many years ago is now a 'smith himself. With his help, we determined that a certain part that had different names on those two sites were actually the same part. Jack First Parts had all 4 of the needed parts and I now have my pistol back. As soon as I get some dry weather, I'll test it out and see what happens.

Here's a picture of my front pocket guns. I have no trouble fitting a J-frame in the front pocket of my Wrangler jeans. Top left model 30-1 32 long, bottom left 431PD 32 mag, center top Beretta 950 25acp, bottom center RG 22 short, top right 442 bottom right 637. And no, I don't carry the RG. Its there for a joke. I have shot it and at 10 feet the bullets are landing sideways but close to point of aim.

I have other almost pocket pistols that I consider border line too big for front pocket carry. A Ruger EC9, Walther PP 32acp, Sp-101 and a S&W model 36-6 with 3" barrel. But they all work OK in a back pocket but are much better as belt guns. One thing I noticed in my picture is, I don't have enough pocket guns, especially autos. I gotta fix that.

NewYork reload.

I do have a old Chief's Special revolver but that is a full size cartridge.

I see I should add this disclaimer.
I do not carry any of the .25 ACP pistols for self defense. I just find the designs and history to be fascinating.
A S&W m36 (2 inch) is the only gun I carry as a normal pocket pistol, although with the right - loose - trousers I can get a three inch Model 10 (round butt) or a Colt Commander to fit at need. Usually I carry a outside waist band holster. Yes, it is sometimes hot dressed that way, but I carry for effectiveness, not comfort primarily.
