    Years ago, I bought a PF9 because I didn’t like all the extra crap on the LC9. It shoots fine but long trigger and brutal recoil. I never had any sort of failure with it though. I later bought an LC9s. Basically the same gun, but the recoil on the Lc9s is much softer. I still use and shoot both.

    My pocket pistol is loathed by many- a S&W Sigma .380. It certainly has its detractors, and some things about it (the magazine; having to drive out a roll pin to disassemble the action) have its good and bad points. But I have never had an issue with it as far as function, and it can be hidden anywhere. Nothing sticks out so nothing to grab onto clothing if you need to access it quickly. It’s pretty accurate at pocket pistol ranges to boot. Not much to shoot a box of fifty cartridges, though. You feel it in the palm of your hand after 8-10 shots.

    I never found a IWB holsters to be comfortable so I've mostly carried in my pocket or in a Sneaky Pete pouch holster. Sometime (rarely) I'll carry my full size Beretta in a belt holster if I can cover it adequately. My primary pocket carry is my Sig P938. In my front pocket; or my S&W Shield in cargo pants larger pocket. I tried smaller pistols like the LCP, 380 Bodyguard and Keltec. Just too small for my bear claw hands.

    The only thing with any pocket carry is I never have a round in the chamber, not even with a pocket holster. Just too much movement and jostling around for me to feel comfortable. Maybe I'm over cautious, but that's the way I do it.

    Maybe I should be more concerned, but I've had a round in the chamber of a Kel Tec P3AT or PF9 in my pocket for the best part of the last 20 years...

    Yup, same for me with my Keltec p32 but it is in a pocket holster.

    I always have a round in the chamber when I pocket carry my P938.

    My LCP pro loaded with Honardy flex tip. Functional and super easy to carry.

    It’s the factory trigger on the Pro models, they discontinued them a few years back when the LCP 2 came out. I’ve shoot a few hundred rounds of FMJ and HP out of it and it absolutely love Honardy XTP and Flex tips. It’s Sort of accurate 3” at 10 yards but it’s my Get off of me gun. It goes everywhere with me even with my CCW on my hip.
    Is that an aftermarket trigger or does it come that way?
