[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Whats a good pocket pistol?

Posted: 6/29/2003 11:25:40 PM EDT

Im looking to get a new pocket pistol since my NAA .32 Guardian failed me. I've been considering a Kahr PM9, but Id like to hear some other opinions about it, and the kel-tec P11, and P32. And If anyone else has other suggestions, Im open to them.

I like my P32, it will conceal while wearing anything,extremely light and mine has never had any failures.

A Jennings .22. In fact I have one that I will sell you for $80 if interested.

Hammerless .38 snubbie. The S&W and Taurus lightweight models are good pocket pistols, although I prefer the stainless steel ones myself as I gladly trade weight for less recoil.

Yup

S&W 642 Airweight.

Light enough, but not so light it hurts to shoot. 158gr LSWCHP's make it effective.

I guess I will go with an airweight S&W snub for pocket carry followed by the Kel-Tec P32. My method of carry is an Uncle Mike's pocket holster for either of my choices. I tend to think of other handguns as holster weapons. Regards, Richard:D

Exellent choice. You will be very happy.

The KAHR PM40 will be out shortly, same specs as the PM9 (if memory serves, will be 15.9 ounces - mag).

If I didnt live in Mass, this WOULD be my next gun, instead I will start looking for an older (aka pre 1998) MK40 shortly.

I really like my PM9. I carry it all the time. I have a VMII IWB and a Blade-tec Ultimate concealment holster. The VMII is on loan and it feels real good. The Blade-tec I could afford and that has worked very well also. The PM9 has shot great and I have had no problems with it at all. I think if you prefer a pocket carry it would work really good for that.

My personal preference for a pocket pistol is the Taurus PT-111, 9mm. It is easy to carry and conceal in an Unkle Mike's pocket holster, especially with deep pockets and a pant size one step above what I would normally wear. It has 10 round magazine and is readily available for use and does not print.
