Pocket Gun Recommendations

[The Lone Haranguer]

Some pocket holsters have tabs or hooks that snag the corner of your pocket, others (e.g., Uncle Mike's or my personal favorite, the Mika) have a friction material band around the outside.

Kel Tec P3AT (get it? P-three-eigh-ty!)

I bought it lightly used and have since put 250 flawless rounds of remington JHP through it. Fantastic pocket gun.

Another vote for the G26 pocket carry.

Works fine for me.

I've found that none of the 9mm guns are comfortable in my pockets except maybe the Rourbach. I went the .380 route.

 

[Tomcat47]

+1 for Route .380

Taurus PT58HC- Accurate High Capacity - I enjoy this one the most!
Llamma Micromax - Very concealable - mini 1911 - I like it
Others too but above are my favorites!

Taurus Millienum .380
Baretta Cheetah 85 - Tip up barrell nice!
Bersa .380
Walther PPK of course!

Kahr PM9 without hesitation.

Rohrbaugh.

I just bought a Kimber CDP Ultra Carry II. Awesome gun! Problem is... I keep reaching for the Kahr PM9 when I leave the house!

I've got a Kahr P9 Covert, which is almost identical to the PM9. Its accurate enough that I was able to shoot down 5 bowling pins with 6 shots at 15 yards. The recoil is surprisingly soft and the gun is very controllable. I love the trigger.

I've shot a couple J-Frame revolvers, a Sig P230, a Walther PPK/s, a Bersa .380, a Kel-Tec P-3AT and a Rohrbaugh R9s. I like the Kahr better than any of them.

Springfield EMP or Kahr would be my choices. Depends on whether you like SA or DAO. Sig P239 also is worth a look.

Kahr PM9... BTW I own a S&W 637 with wolff springs for trigger pull reduction and the PM9's trigger pull is night and day better. Very accurate and easy to shoot.

I carry a Kel-Tec P32 right now. I love the size or lack of it on this little gun but feel I need more than 32ACP. I'm thinking about the Kel-Tec's PF9 for an upgrade.

 

[Rmart30]

Keltec P32 here also.... its small and light enough I can carry it anywhere comfortably. With the 7 rd mag it fits in a pocket well. If I holster it I use a 11 rd extended grip magazine.
Ive been looking at their new 9mm's for something a little bigger. The P11 will take 15 rd S&W mags which would be nice. Both 9mm's have optional grip extension magazines.

Maybe consider a little tweaking to your j-frame too. A trigger job and new grips might go a long way toward better accuracy for you in DA.

If the trigger pull was lighter, would that help? Don't make it too light because you'll get light hits on the cartridge primer. How bad is your double action shooting? In a self defense senario the bad guy would be very close to you. If you insist on a semi-auto then I'd say Kahr PM9.
