Top 10 Pocket Pistols.... Your Turn

[matefrio]

Ok critics, Let's have your choices for the Top 10 "Pocket Pistols".

Here's my list. Most I've shot. Some i've carried. Don't know anyone with a Kimber yet.

1. Kel-Tec PF9 or Ruger LC9 - Tied they are too similar to distinguish.
2. Kahr PM9
3. Sig P238 or Colt Mustang - Tied they are too similar to distinguish.
4. Kel-Tec P-32 - deep pocket carry
5. S&W J-frame Lighter the better the 940 as an interesting option.
6. Beretta Tomcat - Not everyone can throw a slide back.
7. Diamondback DB380 - It's a baby Glock
8. Kahr PM4543 .45 ACP - Pushing the edge of what I think Pocket carry should be but hey.
9. Kimber Solo 9 x 19mm - new kid on the block.
10. S&W Bodyguard .380 ACP - laser on board.

Most can be found on this helpful list: http://www.mouseguns.com/PocketAutoComparison.pdf

I can only list what I have carried

1. Sig P238
2. S&W model 60
3. Walther PPK/S


Those are the only real "pocket" guns I have carried over the last 28 years. The S&W was usually on my ankle, though.

I mostly carry full sized guns.

Kahr P380 and a J-Frame Smith for me.

You can fit a G19 in the front pocket of a pair of Levi's carpenter jeans, as long as you have a t-shirt that'll cover the top of the pocket.

 

[Sid]

1. Kahr PM9
2. S&W .38spl J-Frame
3-10. Whatever other proven micro 9mm/.380s or .38spl/.357 revolvers.

 

[Wolfwood]

heh. i once almsot shot a hole in my coin purse sticking a gun in my pocket.

please use pocket holsters guys.


(it didnt have one in the tube - thank god, and when i sat down to see if it would print, i heard a uncharacteristically loud "CLICK" )

 

[London]

I'm not going to list ten (I haven't even shot that many), but #1 goes to Kel-Tec's PF-9. It's my love BUG!

 

[KAK]

1. Ruger LCR 357- Packs a huge punch, you wont feel under armed.
2. Kahr PM40- If you are toting a pocket gun you will have less precision, thats why I like the 40.
3. Sig p290- Looks promising
4. Kel-Tec PF9- A good 9mm pocket pistol on a budget
5. Ruger LCP- Can carry it anywhere at the expense of accuracy and a full size caliber.

[bikerbill]

haven't shot 10 ... my EDC is a Kahr PM9, which I love ... also own a smith 637, which I don't carry because I don't have the range time to become proficient with it ...

 

[Jon Payne]

Kel-Tec P3AT
Diamondback .380
J Frame Smith & Wesson (preferably air weight)
Glock 26/27
Ruger LCR

 

[30+GSXR]

1) EMP 9mm by Springfield Armory

2) Keltec P3AT (.380)

3) Ruger LC9

4) Ruger LCP

5) Ruger LCR

6) Keltec PF9

The TOP 2 - I carry now. - Last 4 are on the wish list. atriot:

 

[jordanmills]

I like my PF9 well enough.

 

[mkillebrew]

Kahr PM9 or 45
AMT .45 Backup
P-64
Remington 51
NAA .22wmr

Those I've had experience with only. I kind of want to snag a micro desert eagle, but I find myself incapable of getting over the name.

No one mentioned a KT P32...
The ultimate pocket gun, with a CT and 10 round mag it is a no larger than a cell phone in my pocket. The long trigger pull negates any accidental discharge. Is a .32 not enough?
I toss in a KT P11, 12 rounds of 9mm in a compact size.
Also a Kahr P9, because an all metal pocket pistol means less recoil.
