Pocket pistols

[tondreagmech]

So I am looking for advice on pocket size pistol. I had a smith body guard for a bit but it was one of the most unreliable pistols I have ever shot. Jammed religiously (not just on me). I had it looked at by two gun smiths and they said they had similar trouble test firing but couldn’t isolate the issue. I know others who love the body guard and have great success with it I just have a bad taste now. So my question is besides the body guard, what small pocket size guns do you guys like (trust).

I have one of the original S&W Bodyguards .380 with laser. Never jammed but trigger pull about 13#. Too big for my pockets. When I go pocket I carry a KelTec p32 and Lehigh Defense ammo. Never failed me.

It sounds to me like you need the reliability of a revolver.
My choice is seasonal.

During warmer months when less clothing makes it hard to conceal, I'll carry my ADC model 1 45LC/410 or NAA Black Widow 22mag, sometimes Colt Gov't 380. The Black Widow is perfect when I'm just wearing a Speedo, lol.

More clothing during cooler months allows more choices. I'll usually carry my Colt DS-II 38spl, or Kimber Ultra CDP 45acp.

I love my larger handguns but they're just not practical for EDC.

P938 is my choice.

Pocket Nines - a visual comparison

For your edification, here is a side by side comparison of some of the smallest 9mm handguns on the market: Sig P938, S&W Shield, Beretta Nano, Keltec PF9, and Taurus PT709. A couple notes on trigger pull; here's where it gets a bit subjective. -The 938 is the most unpleasant... It's...

Kel-Tec P-32 is my choice.
Very lightweight. Won’t break the bank to buy.
Some report sub-par performance but mine runs great.

I carry my S&W model 49 Bodyguard more then anything!

Ruger LCPII in .22lr or LCR 9mm are my pocket choices......may add a Taurus 942 8rd .22Mag soon.

 

[Geezer]

Any of the J frame size revolvers, any of the Ruger LCP variations, Glock 42 or 43, but, you won't be able to wear your skinny jeans and make a comfortable and easy draw.

I carry a bodyguard. When I first got it, the mag kept releasing on me. I replaced the mag release myself and since then it’s never jammed

Kimber Micro 9- I also carry a Kimber ProCovert Carry II for city trips ,so the muscle memory remains the same, both have laser grips and the same nite sights.
The slide spring tension requires more hand strength than some small women can handle so consider the .380 if that is an issue. (what I am looking for to give to my grand daughter)

It depends on the size of your pocket.

I’ve used

a Beretta Tomcat 32

Glock 26

Sig 365

 

[dsgrey]

Keltec P32 with laser for shorts without a belt. Kahr CM9 for anything else.
