Candidates for the best REAL pocket gun.

[DoggyDaddy]

Actually, I had two tabs open and went to reply on a thread on the other tab and accidentally put it here instead. Oops!

I usually have multiple tabs open, but only one of them is INGO. Having multiple INGO tabs open... well that is dedication!

I guess it’s possible I was subconsciously trying to get my posts per day numbers up?

Glock-27, it’s a Bulldog in your pocket.

 

[Bigtanker]

Really. Ok, let me put all 7rds in your ear, then tell me again about ballistics.

Just because.

I have had good success working insurance carrying a sig 238 in slacks and dress pants in a don Hume holster

also works in jeans and cargo shorts

however it’s a bridge to far with basketball shorts due to weight

however I will be moving to Texas and due to the heat and working from home will be wearing basketball shorts quite a lot and will look into a p3AT or p32. Also interested in them for a reliable NPE gun I’m not super invested in.

also I think the statute of the man has to come into account for pocket carry.

im 6’4 and wear size 44 jeans, you can for a lot more in a pocket then a guy who is 5’7 wearing size 28 pants.

also slacks are god tier for pocket carry.

LCRx .357 and/or a Glock 27 .

 

[repeter1977]

Well now there is the Sig P365 and or the Springfield Hellcat. Both are 9 and carry a ton of bullets in a micro compact.

Granted I'm not a huge guy, but I could never pull off carrying a glock 27 in my front pocket. The thing is a brick.

Come on GFGT, if you are going to necropost, at least say something

I didn't even look at the dates

I would think this is already somewhere in this thread; LCP2

Fits my hand well and in every pocket I have save my shirt pocket.

+1

I have to wear slacks at work and I can't fit anything larger without a noticeable bulge.

Smallest 9mm I have seen is a Diamondback DB9. Easy to carry in front pocket. Pretty slick little pistol.

I'm sure most would disagree that a S&W Shield is a true pocket gun, but I've been VERY successfully front pocket carrying my 9mm S&W Shield since 2012. Tried IWB but always went back to pocket and has worked great. I draw it just as easily as IWB and its an absolute pleasurable joy to carry like that. I just make it a point to buy pants and shorts with deep enough front pockets.
Use and love a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster.

I strongly considered replacing my Shield with a Sig P365, but I love my Shield so much the extra 2 rounds simply was not a significant enough advantage to get me to switch and I didn't shoot the P365 any better than my Shield. I can not give an honest round count of my shield. I average about 600-650 rounds a year and just replaced my recoil spring as I figured I was closer to 5k rounds than 4k rounds. I know every body says "Never had a single MF/FF/FTE and to be 100% honest I had two MF's one failure to feed and one FTE within the first 200 rounds very first range session. But I honestly do not recall ever having another issue again with my Shield. I do clean it well after each range session and clean it very well after every 300-400 rounds and lube it per owners manual.

Due to the current nation wide unrest I am considering buying a S&W M&P 3.6" Compact 2.0 for the 15+1 capacity VS my Shields 8+1 and can find them still reasonably priced.
I currently carry two spare 8 round mags use to only carry one. With the M&P 2.0 3.6" I can carry it and one 17 round spare and have 32 rounds VS 25 for the Shield and carry one less mag. Never thought I'd see the day when i have to consider carrying that much ammo and could potentially find myself in a situation where 17 rounds might not be enough.

I carry a Ruger LCR 357 in a Remora holster and it does not at all print in an obvious way. I also carry a Keltec P32. That is a small gun, but .32 Auto is a capable round. It also has a separate clip you can buy and tuck it into trunks, your cowboy boot, etc.

 

[migunner]

I carry a Seecamp LWS380 every where. Wife has a LWS 32

 

[HamYankee]

P365 is a legitimate pocket gun for me. My G26 is too fat and heavy.

 

[mechmc17]

I'll add another vote for the P938.

Cocked and locked? Or do you carry in a different condition in a pocket?

 

[eddiehelm]

+1 for the lcr. Love mine. Light weight, decent trigger with the cam design despite being a heavy da.

I picked up a new Springfield 911 Alpha yesterday. Took it to Atterbury today to give it a run. Sweet little shooter! Ran a box of old 95gr Independence fmj and a few blazer with zero issues. It disappears in my pocket with a Sticky holster. I plan to rotate it in when I’m don’t have my 642PC.
