I'll throw a vote out for the Beretta 85 Cheeta. Single stack so it's a bit slimmer than the 84. As I posted in some other thread, shoots well, very reliable and is easy to conceal.
 
I like the P3AT, but I'd carry the Grendel P12 (no longer made) if needed and I had a bigger pocket. It's slightly smaller than my P11, carries 12 rounds which would be important in a weak caliber. Actually, I've yet to wear anything I couldn't hide that gun in, why I never bought a P3AT, yet. It's 100 percent reliable, but not terribly accurate and a crummy DA trigger. But, I can keep 'em on a torso at 20 yards, so I guess it's accurate enough. No, it's not perfection in firearms, LOL! But, I like the firepower and I also like the heal magazine release better than a button in a pocket gun. The Grendel's mag release is one of the better design features. I wish they'd put as much thought into take down/field stripping for cleaning. That requires a hammer, punch, and four hands. :rolleyes:

X2. And probably the classiest too.
 
Wow. Every now and again I convince myself that Kel-tec, Ruger, & NAA have unseated the Seecamp. Then I see pictures like these.

I cheated... voted for the Sig and the Bersa. I've owned and carried the NAA and the Kel-tec. Still do. But as a primary, I'd prefer something with more barrel to get as much velocity as possible.

I'll throw in a vote for the Colt Mustang. I've been using it both as a primary and back up for years.
 
I'd have to go with the Bersa since that's what I just bought for concealed carry. I haven't got a chance to shoot it yet, but I love how it fits my hand. I have small hands and it fits me like a glove.
 
Carry a Bersa Thunder .380 loaded with either Corbon Pwrball ammo or Hornady Critical Defense ammo. I luv the Bersa for carry inside the waistband. My Bersa has had no problems in shooting 400 rounds.
 
LCP hands down. 3 years without a mishap of any kind, never fell out never slid out, and always fired, even after 6 months of sitting there. I traded my seacamp plus got cash for a new one 3 yrs ago, and just traded again plus cash for a lc9.
