Pocket Gun Poll

[OVERTHEHILLGUY]

My vote, Glock 19. Iam a short fat guy with big front pockets. 16 rds of 9mm Luger, can't go wrong. OVERTHEHILLGUY

LW J frame.

Ruger's LCP is a great gun for pocket carry.

 

[BillD]

A guy on another forum was doing a small test with the .380 on wet phone books.
I don't know what the round or gun was but the bullet BOUNCED OFF.

Not exactly confidence inspiring.

I prefer the bersa 380 if im just slipping something in my pocket for a quick trip in town

 

[sonovasailor]

It's a good thing bad guys don't wear wet phone books as body armor!
My vote is J frames and P-3AT

Had a Kel-Tec PF9 with a Laser. Very easy to pocket carry. But, first time I shot it had 2 FTF on first mag. Traded it to a retired sheriff. It was for his wife. I wouldnt recommend one.

I didnt get to vote, but I have a LCP for my back pocket. Sits in a molded Stoner case that looks like a wallet. Can't even tell.

My choice

You all will probably have a good laugh with this one, but when I can't cover my colt 1911, or Ruger p95dc. A have a little CZ in .32 acp that I have a very hot 85 grn HP that I reload myself, maybe not the best pocket gun but I dought anyone would volunteer as a bullet catcher. And the gun is built like a tank!

Kel Tec PF 9

I have heard this before and I do not get it. I have a couple year old PF-9 that has functioned absolutely flawlessly. I carry it daily and only do basic cleaning. I have shot a number of different loads through it including standard off the shelf +p JHP and tons of reloads from Brass Kings. I have not had a single failure to feed. In fact after reading some of these postings I played around at the range and tried to "limp wrist" the PF 9 and still could no induce a failure. I don't know if I just got lucky and purchased a pistol from a good lot or what, but I would not hesitate to carry this PF 9 anytime. It has been 100% reliable and it is so easy to carry there is never a reason to leave it at home.

Everytime someone says so and so sucks I think the same thing. Anyone want to stand infront of a hi-point 380 and see if it hurts?

Buy what you will carry and feel comfortable with. With that said I got rid of my p3at and got a ruger.

Bullets hurt period. Go with what ever you will never leave home without! Had great customer service from Kel-Tec. Sent my P3AT in for service and they upgraded everything but the frame to the current generation.

 

[AF92venger]

I have a Beretta "Tomcat" .32acp!! I love it. It is Very Accurate also, compared to a lot of pocket guns with a short barrel length

FTR I think .380 is adequate, but that argument doesn't stand. there are plenty of things I wouldnt want to be hit with that wouldn't be a practical carry weapon: a rock, slingshot, getting poked with a pen, a broken bottle, etc.

 

[BillD]

I don't want to get shot with a BB gun. That doesn't mean it's a optimal SD weapon.

 

[pinshooter45]

Hey I'm just haveing fun here...because the little 32 doesn't get much respect. But this little CZ 70 of mine will put every thing in silohette at 25 yrds. I like to call it the poor man's Walther because of it's resemblence.

 

[BillD]

We could go with a scenario like this:
Two guns, a .380 and a .357 Mag. You are going to get shot. You choose which gun you want to be shot with.....lol

 

[buzzard pickins]

S&W sigma 380....NAA GUARDIAN 380....Elien Woods back up.

Have always been a fan of the Smith J frame, that is untel I got my Sig P238. This hands down the most comfortable hide out I have ever had !!!
