Best pocket carry pistol???

[Neffsaid]

I want to try the carry comp next to my standard 2.0 and see if there’s a big difference. Have you shot both?

My step brother has the standard. Shot his, then got the carry comp version. So yes, but not side by side. Id be curious how much of a difference the port really makes. They both shoot great.

P238 in a sticky grip!

My LCPII is great for pockets.

NAA will fit in a shirt pocket. They also make a little ankle holster and a belt buckle holder.

I have a Sig P938 I carry in a Vedder Pocket holster. Similar in size to the P238, but in 9mm. Yes, off roster.
Glock 26 almost works if pants are loose. Sig P365XL also works. I think the Macro grip is too long though for pocket carry.

I own both and for me there is a significant difference. First, the slide serrations are much better, in addition to an added “charging handle” makes the 2.0 Performance so much better. Second, the front night sight is easier to pick up and are not as off from factory as the regular 2.0 is. Finally, the comp does help with follow up shots and I can shot 1 inch groups at 15 yards with this which is insane for a pocket pistol. I noticed some people online mentioning there wasn’t much difference but for me there personally is a significant difference. The minimal added length is well worth the trade off.

I've used a P238 with dress clothes for a while, and also just to grab and throw in a jacket pocket while going for a walk or running. It's my favorite. I happen to be selling it now with a pocket holster: https://caguns.net/classifieds/sig-p238-extra-mags-holster-and-hogue-grips.26124/

I have carried an original Ruger LCP with factory 7 round mag for several years in a DeSantis pocket holster. No one has noticed. I can do head shots on a silhouette target at 5 yards, good consistent body hits to 10 yards, maybe a bit more with the little gun. I usually have my Hellcat 9mm but the LCP is always there.

Im feeling the need for a small pocket pistol to add to my EDC. Recently I needed something small to fit in a dress pants pocket.

Glock 43 is the smallest pistol I own and while I’ve been somewhat successful with tuckable IWB it’s not ideal. Glock 43 to big for suit pocket.

I’m thinking of getting an sig p238 380 for deep pocket carry. Or possibly a kahr p380. Anyone have experience with pocket carry? Is the 238 able to conceal well in dress pants?

Hands down, the original P365.

For me it's the Kahr PM9, or the even lighter the Kahr P380.

My IWB pick is a Sig P365 Spectre Comp, though even with the short slide the P365 is too heavy for comfortable pocket carry IMO, though the P365/380 would likely work well for pocket carry being 6 oz lighter.

A Kahr PM9. It’ll hurt your hand when your fire it, but you’ve got 6rds of 9mm and it easily fits in a pocket holster.

I would go with the Ruger LCP Max. Ultra small and ten round magazine. No brainer!!

A trimmed Sig P365 Hogue Grip will make a Kahr PM9 much more comfortable to shoot, and Magguts mag springs and followers will give you 7+1 flush, 8+1 extended.

I stick mainly to IWB, but for pocket carry my 1.0 Bodyguard 380 would be my choice. It's tiny enough and even more important the long relatively heavy true double action trigger would give me peace of mind being that close to the jewels.

My LCP Max would definitely fit in my pocket, but it has a lot lighter trigger than my 1.0 Bodyguard.

Now that I'm retired, I'm stuck with only roster guns. If i was still working, I would buy a S&W 632 Ultimate Carry in 327 S&W Magnum. Something about that tiny package carrying 6 rounds of either 327 Mag, 32 H&R Mag or 32 S&W Long would make me feel well protected with a pocket gun.

I like my Kahr 380.

No on the SIG P238 (reliability issues)
No on the Kahr 380 (also reliability and quality)

I use the Ruger LCP. It works and I've owned three over like 15 years. I carry it in a DeSantis Super Fly and a spare magazine in a Remora mag holder.

Trick is to cut a strip of black tshirt (like 12x12") and stuff it into the pocket in front of the Super Fly's front shield. Make it look like a blob.
