    I have an LCP, although it basically never gets carried anymore. It works but the trigger sucks. I’ve had it for a long time and I think if I were buying one today I’d look at a G42 or a j-frame.

    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 use my CZ 2075 RAMI D 9x19mm as my pocket gun, a smidge large but its accurate and reliable, but there are many options on the market nowdays

    The LCP2 has a much better trigger and the slide locks to the rear when empty, which are the only things I didn't like about the original LCP.

    Gunz are icky.
    This thread inspired the moonpie to take some .32 pocket guns to the range for some love.
    Today was Colt 1903, Walther ppk/s, and Kel-Tec P32 love.

    I wouldnt call a bersa a pocket pistol. IIRC those things are heavier than a G19. Almost the same size.

    I occasionally pocket carry a bg380 and love that little gun. I'm used to heavy double action and if I grip it properly, it will nail 100yrd steel. If I was going to replace it, either a Khar because I think a pocket gun should have a heavy trigger, or a little on the big side but a p365.
