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.

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 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.

Nice! I see inspector Chris put his proofmark on there...

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.

I just acquired a Sig P938 after being very satisfied with a P238.

It's a very easy pistol to shoot, maintain and carry.

Very happy with the price and performance of my KelTec PF-9.

I have a habit of carrying either my LWS32 or my new favorite, the Ruger LCP. So easy to carry.

So only a couple weeks short of one year later I finally picked up a CM9. With tighter jeans it's definitely a little bulky for front pocket carry, but I think a lot of this is going to depend on the holster you use.

For shorts, cargo and otherwise, it's perfect for pocket carry.

Or you can just open carry.

One advantage of being a fat old man is that you get to wear baggy britches with pleats in the front, and nobody checks out how your pants fit anyhow (because they not only don't give a damn, but they don't even want to THINK about it). I can get a short-barreled Taurus Judge or a full sized 1911 in my front pants pocket and get away with it. Have done. That said, my Sig P238 is a right smart handier even if it does produce significantly smaller perforations.

At least for the summer I have left the ranks of the pocket carry club. I acquired what I believe is called a "crosstuck" holster and am loving it.

I'll resume pocket carry when(if?) cooler weather returns.

I did a yahoo search on "crosstuck holster" and didn't turn up any such animal. Close as I got was a "Crossbreed supertuck". But one of the first links that did turn up is below:

Could it be that you have the effect on search engines that you do on pore ole ratherfish?
