My perfect pocket gun will never happen, I pretty sure, but I can always dream.
Mine would be a stainless steel Colt Pony/mini Browing Hi-Power style gun in 9mm. Same size as the Pony and single action automatic of course. It would be designed to handle +P+ loads in the long term. Or perhaps specifically engineered for Winchester +P+ Rangers. It would have the same style low profile frame safety (with an option for an ambidextrous safety for lefties) as is found on pre-MKII Browing Hi-Powers.
It would be 6+1 capacity or larger with flush fitting magazines and if at all possible to engineer, should accept Browning P-35/Hi-Power magazines (extending out of the bottom of course).
It would have low profile fixed white bar sights (three bar sights, two rear one in front) with an option for night sights for those of us who like them (not me currently, but I've been going back and forth on the subject).
I prefer guns without firing pin safeties in general, but a pocket gun carried C&L in a pocket holster (with no leather to cover the firing pin and block the hammer in case the sear breaks) must have a BHP MKIII style firing pin safety to save the knee/gonads where the gun in pointing in case of a sear failure.
Carried in an Uncle Mike's #4 pocket holster. I hate how leather holsters muss stainless steel over time.
I can't think of anything else right now
