I carry an older Charter Arms Undercover .38 loaded with +P ammunition.

My regular is an S&W 042.
My old regular (and still go-to when I need a really flat, small, gun) is my Taurus PT-22.

I have several pocket pistols from which to choose, but I must admit, the one I reach for mostly is a Seecamp in a RJ Hedley "Back Pocket" model holster. It's a flat little pistol that's completely reliable with RBCD Ammunition. RJ's pocket holsters are bargains, too. This combination saved my bacon in a dark parking garage in downtown Louisville last year.

I have a S&W M38 and a Colt Mustang Pocketlite that share pocket duty. So I carry both .380acp and .38sp

Well, you said pocket guns and not mouse guns and my Charter Arms Bulldog is carried in my back pocket sometimes, 44 Special.
My mouse gun is a FA .22LR mini-revolver though.

I carry the only gun that has ever fit in my front pocket without making me look like I had a malignant growth...the KelTec P32, chambered in .32ACP.
I have no idea how you J-frame and Baby Glock guys can carry those things in your front pockets. I tried to tote both kinds in shorts with wide and deep front pockets, and they were pretty obvious.

Why did you merge 22LR and 22Mag? They're not anywhere near the same.
All you've done is show your biases. We get so many disgustingly loaded polls on gun politics that it's a crying shame when we come to THR and see more of the same.

Not to flame but...
Ok. Granted the .22LR and 22Mag are not the same. So what. You're comparing this to a loaded poll? Please spare us the song and dance. It's a good natured try at creating a interesting poll. Cut to the chase and tell us why you obviously think .22Mag is a good choice and or better than .22LR as a pocket gun carry option. No hard feelings, just my take-

P32
Jim March: I put 22rf & 22WMR together because: 1) both are 22's 2) both are rimfires 3) I figured to most people here there wouldn't be much difference between them (they are in the same "tactical nich"). AFAIK you can get the 22 rf in the mini SA revolvers, 38 snub sized revolvers, or little autos (in same size class as P32). I don't think there are any 22WMR guns small enough for pocket carry other than the mini SA or 38 snub sized revolvers.
***
Personally I don't think much of anything smaller than 9x19 in pocket sized gun (I think 38+P is much better from 4" barrel). But my votes on this poll were 32 & 9x19, I do have a P32 but I don't have much faith in the cartridge so I will carry it only when I can't carry something bigger. But I am working on replacing both with 38 snubs because they have better triggers and I will reload brass from revolver, I hate hunting for brass from an auto
So I will get far more practice with the snub than I do with my small 32 or 9. And they seem for me to between the 9x19 and the 32 for concealment.

You could always start a thread about 22rf vs 22wmr if you wanted to.

Really depends on my perceived need and my attire. My sooper small gun is my Beretta 950. My other pocket gun is my 5-shot snubbie.
My 950 is very practical. I can throw it in the pocket of my slacks and forget it's there.
