I have decided, in addition to my conceal carry gun, I'd like to keep a small handgun in the glove compartment of my vehicle. Briefly, there are a few reasons for this. 1) No matter what the situation, it's nice to know there is a gun available in the vehicle. 2) I like the idea of a smaller gun, that will fit in a pocket holster or wallet holster for convenience. 3) A backup to the regular conceal carry gun
So, here's what I'm looking for. Something under $500, preferably in the $300 range. If the car is ever broken into or stolen, I'm not losing an expensive gun. Something in 380, 38Spec or 9mm (prefer 9mm because I already shoot that). Something that fits in a pocket holster, or even better, in a wallet holster. If I am just running a quick errand I don't need to worry about conceal carry, just grab the wallet holster from the glove compartment and stick it in my pocket before going into the store.
So, I know a few ideal guns are the Ruger LCP, LCR, S&W J-frame (Bodyguard, Centennial, 642 etc.) Taurus PT709, PT738, Walther PPS, Keltecs and I'm sure there are plenty other models.
So any experiences and insight you might have regarding these very small, lightweight, short barreled guns which will easily fit into pocket or wallet holsters would be much appreciated.
