Need help picking pocket gun

I think the LCP Custom would be great. I have not tried one yet since I have invested in so many holsters for the first and second versions.
I don't think the sights would snag for back pocket carry but I think they would for me in a front pocket.

Kahr P380, a gun you can practice with and not be sore.

This is a great point. Mine (CW380) is the softest shooting 380 of those that I've tried (S&W, LCP, KelTec), but the Kahrs are a lot harder to rack due to that stiff recoil spring.

I've got a Sig 238 in the Scorpion finish I'm pretty thrilled with.

My best friend has a DB9 and he let me try it out for a couple weeks. Just about the right size and fits into almost any pocket. He got that one back but I will look for one for myself.

I've carried my p-32 for just over a year every day. It is so light and versatile... I carry it in a pocket holster (in any number of pockets depending on what I'm wearing) and in a Galco RH IWB tuckable. I still shoot it frequently and continue to be impressed with the function, reliability and accuracy of this little 7+1 capacity 6.6 oz semiauto.

I just bought the taurus .380 Curve and "we'll see" if that ever earns it's way into my carry rotation... It was recalled and the extractor retaining pin was falling out... So "we'll see"

My Taurus TCP738 .380 did not... Function and reliability were not acceptable... It had a firing pin retaining pin fall out of the top of the slide (they fixed it) but it was picky about ammo and just had one too many occasional failures... So it got sold.

My Taurus m85 ultralight was a great revolver... Lightweight, +p rated... But I never found it quite as comfortable... So it's gone now too

I keep looking for that magical single stack 9mm that will make its way I to my carry rotation... Haven't found it yet... But the keltec pf9 is tempting...

In my experience Kahr P380 has better trigger, sights and accuracy than Glock 42. HOWEVER....I had to send the P380 back to Kahr to get it replaced with one that would cycle reliably. The replacement works great with a lot of different ammo including my reloads. No such issue with the Glock.

I think trigger preference is a personal preference. I have shot the P380 and have a Kahr PM9.

The triggers on the Kahr pistols are really smooth, but I personally prefer the trigger on my G42 over the Kahr because it is much shorter and has a much faster let off.

I saw the PF9 at a gun show and bought it based on the size but it turned out to be one of the most painful guns I ever shot so I sold it.
