[ARCHIVED THREAD] - best pocket sized pistol?

Anyone have any favorites?

Perhaps a Paraordnance P-10 45ACP, or my Springfield Lightweight Ultra Compact 1911A1.
This is just my preference. The Paraordnance P-10 will fit in the palm of your hand, may need grip extension though, the Springfield has a 3 1/2 inch barrel, compact but managable.

KelTec 32, of course!

Colt Mustang Pocketlite 380 for more zip.

Depends on the size of your pocket...

I have a Taurus Model 85 Ultra-lite in .38 Special which is +P rated. It fits in my car's ashtray and is so light it sits well in my jacket pocket.

The Beretta Model 21 is a tiny flat .22 LR pistol that holds 7 shot's plus one in the barrel. It fits in the palm of my hand, is very flat, and and hasn't jammed on my yet. It's small and light enough that it sits in an ankle holster or pants pocket very easily.

And for the very small I have North American Arms .22 Magnum that is small enough to sit in a shirt pocket. It's single action only and has but 5 shots of the .22 WMR but packs a pretty big punch in a small package. I wouldn't want to count on it for a one shot stop but it's a nice ace in the hole and just a tad bit better than nothing.

naa 22 mag for when you absolutly are not supposed to be carrying.....
Beretta 950 0r 21 take your pick great for back pocket blue jean,s carry use a bandanna or hanky
to break the out line....
anything larger goes iwb or on your hip
find something that you like/can shoot and carry it.......a 150.00 pistol in your pocket is better than a 700.00 super dupper gizmo left at home..........

The Glock 27 works for me.

I regulary carry a Glock 26 in my front pants pocket. It's too hot here in VA during the summer to wear an extra shirt to cover up a holster, so in the pocket it goes.

The North American Arms Guardian in 32cal or the new 380 are very small.Mine has been completly reliable and and very easy to hide in tight jeans or shorts with no shirt.If you are wearing nothingthing at all the 22 mini can be carried concealed and it's better than throwing rocks.

KelTec 32 - might need to work it over for light primer strikes, though. No big deal - instructions are found at [url]http://www.ktog.org[/url]

Kel Tec P32 ALWAYS, GLOCK G27 whenever possible (looks funny in jeans, fine in pleated slacks).

I know this will not be a popular statement, but the ballistics on a .22 mag out of an NAA size barrel are not that different from a .22LR.
