What is the best pocket gun for every day carry?

[Walter Sobchak]

LCR in .357 with 125gr. Hornaday critical defense.

My choice is an H&K model 4 32ACP. Small light and I can carry it when I'm wearing shorts and tee.

Kahr PM9 is at the top of my list for a BUG.

I have to agree

 

[Sun195]

Probably my S&W 642. My Kel-Tec P3AT is easier to carry, but I'm less proficient with it and have doubts about .380. I like my PM9 a lot, but it doesn't carry as well as the 642.

 

[Teufel_Hunden]

S & W Bodyguard .380

and TCP

I guess it depends on how big your pockets are?

Ak47 with 100rd drum!

 

[stmcelroy]

Diamondback 9mm or Kahr PM9 in 9mm

S&W Bodyguard, Diamondback .380, Ruger LCP, Kahr P380 or Sig P238 in .380

J-frame in .38special

At least that has been my experience from owning and shooting most/all of the pocket guns on the market.

I currently carry my Diamondback 9mm daily in my front right pocket, love the gun and it goes bang every time I pull the trigger.

It's not pocket carry - but here's a good video from South Narc on how to use a snubby:

Haven't seen one of those little tanks in while. Cool peice.

Reliable, accurate, low recoil, fits in a jeans front pocket!

I carry a Kahr PM9 and very happy with it. I would highly recommend it.

As far as a pocket pistol goes, I pack the Taurus TCP. I was trying to decide between that or the Ruger LCP, and to me, the Taurus had a smoother trigger. It's also a pretty accurate little pistol.

Colt Agent or Cobra. A bobbed hammer is ideal.

P32 kel-tec.. its cheap but its way better than the .380 kel-tec i think, since it weighs about the same, lil smaller frame & don't rub your hand raw when you shoot it. Can't even tell its in your pocket with a good sleeve, even to a trained eye.

 

[Greenbug]

The one you will actually carry...

+1 on that for sure!

 

[chrislind2]

Colt New Agent .45. S&W .38 loaded with .357 when I need something with less weight.
I carry the Colt in an old Uncle Mikes IWB holster that I had sitting in a box of holsters.
It works really well and I don't have to spend a fortune on a fancy holster.

Your best weapon is your brain.
Situational awareness and avoiding potential treats always come first.
It's easier to not get into trouble than to solve it afterwards.
Also, De-escalation skills are vital. Leave your pride and anger on the shelf.

AND of course, trouble can find us no matter what.

 

[bralko85]

S&W 340PD

 

[gunfreak]

Kel-Tec P-11 is my hideout gun.

Nice video mikee, think that just sold me on the 38s snub I've been drooling over!
