Pocket Carry of Small Caliber Handguns

I am about to put down a down payment on a Seecamp LWS32. 4 month wait but worth it. Already have my name on a list for an LWS380 but that's over a year.

I just put a down payment on a new LWS32 by Seecamp. When the G26 doesn't work for me. I'll see it in about 4 months. Image

I carrry a Ruger LCP as a backup to my Taurus .327 Federal Magnum, which is a backup to my Kimber 1911. The Ruger and the Taurus are both pocket carry with cargo pants and the Ruger will fit in any front pocket. The LCP has a Crimson Trace laser and is a great little gun. That being said, i personally don't want to rely on .380 as my first choice in a defensive encounter. I know for a lot of people out there it is more tham enough caliber and that's fine for the,. I just want the most stopping power that I can accurately hit with and for me that's a .45 .
I'll keep my guns, my money, amd my freedom, you Keep the CHANGE.

I pocket carry a Kel-tec p32, mostly as a back up to my Kel-Tec p11, but sometimes on its own. I also wanted to agree with the earlier post in this thread about cleaning, as I find that my p32 gets dirty with lint pretty quickly.

Hopefully it's less of a piece of crap than their .380.


It's a piece of crap. Don't let the fanboys steer you otherwise.

I have a Sig P238. Great little gun for pocket carry.

How do you like your P32?, I really want one, especially now that I have an Ishapore in .308, I'm going to get a .32ACP adapter! How's the trigger on the Keltec?

I carry a Radom P64 (Polish Officer's WaltherPPK clone)
Small, perfect for pocket carry, 6+1 of 9x18 Makorov.
-Has a little more punch than .380 (unless you run +P rounds)

Taurus 945 or 1911 .45 IWB primary, carry the Taurus more, just because I have not yet dropped the cash for a Commander, then keep a good old Bersa Thunder .380 loaded with Hornady 90 gr. FTX as the backup in the back pocket. Personally would not want the .380 as a primary weapon, but if I only had it, with that ammo, it's a lot better than nothing, and doesn't bite like the Walther PPKS.

Not too bad considering I'm only 5'4" and right at 145-150, none print, the Taurus or 1911 both fit nicely in an Alesi IWB clip on holster, plus I have a Supertuk for the 1911(Full size). Amazed how the 1911 disappears with the Supertuk rig.
Just my daily extras.
