I tend to try to stay with my favorite caliber.....the 45acp so my pocket gun meets that requirement yet hides very well in the right front pocket of 90% of the pants or shorts I wear. A Taurus PT-145. 10+1 45acp sledgehammers:


and brother is it accurate out at 15 yards:

I throw my Ruger SP101 in my front pocket.

It's too bad that Colt stopped making those small guns - like the Pony and Mustang. Those were sweet.

MY 25 OZ 8 ROUNDS OF 32 ACP PPK/SIS A BIG GUN FOR CALIBER BUT IT ALSO IS A SWEET SHOOTER AND FLAT.I CAN CARRY IT IN MY BACK POCKET AND ITS NO THICKER HAN A WALLET,HEAVIER YES!

I fully agree with jem375 the gun will go in a pocket and not be noticed.

I have owned one of these guns for years and found them to be the perfect size and capacity for a pocket pistol or in an ankle rig.

Hi-Standard is selling these guns now for a very good price. Check one out

The pocket guns I carry regularly are a Kel-Tec .32 and a Smith & Wesson 342 (titanium frame .38, internal hammer), both in DeSantis pocket holsters. Sure I'd rather have a .45, but when I am jogging, those are the only two that work.

I have a Kahr P40 Covert that I bought for pocket carry, but I rarely carry it, because it is heavy. I also had to modify the DeSantis holster for that one, because it carries the gun too "deep," covering up too much of the frame, so you can't get a firing grip.

I have a Kel-Tec P11, with 9mm and .40 slides, but when I carry it, it's with the belt clip, not in the pocket. Too heavy for the pocket.

Rather than trying to find a gun that can be used for pocket carry and belt carry, just get one of each, and carry the pocket pistol on those occasions when you simply cannot carry a "real" gun.

I have used the following as front pocket guns:

Walther ppk--Great size, can hide it, just too darn heavy and prints.

Sig 232--Right weight, just a little too big and prints

Glock 27--Weight's ok, just too darn bulky (I'd like to hear if anyone likes the G36 as a pocket gun--that's got possibilities since it's slimmer, but I digress. I'm thinking about one.)

Beretta .32 Tomcat--Perfect weight, perfect size, perfect controls, everything but the caliber and feeding issues.

S&W 632 Airweight--Perfect size, perfect caliber, perfect weight, good controls. Good holster and it won't show at all. Why I got rid of it I have no idea. Stupid on my part. Probably the best out of the list.

Kahr pm9, the best I have carried so far.
