“7.62x25 is a potent little roynd.”

The 82 I have is chambered in 9mm Makarov which is considerably less powerful. It is roughly equivalent to a .38 Spl.

Do any of you have strong feelings regarding any of the guns below as true “pocket pistols” that can be dropped into your pants pocket for carry?

Ruger LCP
Ruger LCP II
Taurus TCP 738
Taurus Spectrum
Kahr CW380
Taurus PT 22

Your thoughts on reliability and trigger pull?

You fish?

Occasionally. I like to take my dog out and hit the streams. I did a little Spring salmon fishing, but only caught a couple of smalls.

its worth taking a look at, obviously don’t own any of the mentioned.

I agree. The Critical Defense Life works well in this though and ballistic gel tests look good.

[Eagles6]

Yep

"I find myself carrying a 5 shot .38 more and more. Easy to carry, less to worry about. I have one in my tackle box and EDC bag as well, leaving my larger .45 at home most times."
