I see a lot of references to folks pocket carrying all kinds of guns and, honestly, they must just have bigger pockets than I do. I usually wear a business suit or dress pants, shirt and tie, and a blazer for work. I wear loose, comfortable pants (but not cargo pants) or jeans on the weekend. None have enormous pockets that would swallow a J-frame or the like discreetly.
What I really need is a little pistol that's not just "pocket size" but "wallet size." For a baseline, I went to the web site of a famous leather goods company and came up with these dimensions for their men's wallets: billfold 3.75" x 3", double billfold 3.75" x 3.75 in, trifold 4.25" x 3.25". That would give a maximum "wallet size" dimension of about 4.25" x 3.75".
I have looked at the well-circulated Bobo's Pocket Auto Comparison Chart and find only the quite pricey Seecamp models that actually fit this definition of "wallet size." The old Baby Browning would work, but I was hoping to find something a little more recent and safer to carry with a round in the chamber. Other than those two and the tiny NAA single-action revolvers or some sort of derringer, are there any pocket pistols that actually fit these dimensions?
