what would you put on this short list of pocket guns?

[Preacherman]

My "pocket-carry" guns include S&W J-frames (442 and 642), Colt DS and Cobra, and Glock 27's. I don't carry sub-calibers anymore except as backups to a full-caliber: in such cases, I'll include a S&W 317, Beretta Tomcat, etc. No Kel-Tec's, thank you very much - too many failures in my experience!

Actually, any J-Frame will work with the right pocket holster.

Find a S&W Model 36, check out this page.

 

[Ford]

The BEST pocket gun that I know of.

Guess it depends on the size of your pockets. I carry a P-3AT Kel Tec in my pocket. That's as big as it gets for me. I've got a compact Glock and a couple of snubbies that are WAY too big and heavy for pocket carry. Even the Kel Tec prints in jeans.

"wow, Glocks and Springfield XDs, those really fit into your pockets?"

Mine? Um...yeah. Why?

Of course I dress in really baggy carpenter jeans. It's a "G" Thang!

I have my always carry gun as a Kahr PM9 with a good belt to hold your pants up so that it doesn't fall at the wrong moment.
