I have a Ruger .380 with some mean looking hollow points. It fits in my pocket, shoots bullets out the front when I pull the trigger, and holds six.

I’m good...

Don’t even know it’s in your pocket.

I use the Ruger LCP with a Crimson Trace laser. There is no easier or faster way to get a laser on target.

Went through several, S&W .380 Bodyguard has horrible trigger pull. Currently using a Glock 42. Nice, easy to conceal, reasonable functionality.

Not the best pocket carry. Sorry.

All of those are fine.

The old Walther PPK is still a good one. So is the Colt lightweight agent.

For really small, if you can find one the Walther TPH is great.

My son has a Ruger LC9S Pro and a Ruger LCP. Small and smaller. The LCP 2 looks to have a few nice improvements, though the styling is a bit space age.

KelTec PF9 - Zimmerman special. Pretty sure it’s still the lightest 9mm on the market.

I always liked the looks of the Browning 380. Shoulda bought it for the wife.

Out of those listed I think I would go with the Sig.

Glock 42? Sounds a bit outdated. I carry a Glock 43 and find it very comfortable. It is only a 5 round mag but if I need more than that I am either vasty outnumbered or need more range time.

No love for the Kahr PM9 or PM40?

Some good other choices listed, though.

NAA 22 LR revolver.

THAT is a pocket pistol.

For a pocket pistol I much prefer one the modern lightweight 38 or 357 caliber revolvers like the S&W bodyguard or the Ruger LCR.

Sig Sauer P938 (9mm). Fits nicely in a front jean's pocket. Bangs as needed.

I have a Walther PPK/S .380, but only use for super conceal.
Can’t believe I waited so long to get the trigger work done.

I'm fairly tolerant of less than ideal trigger actions on CC guns such as the S&W Bodyguard...but I'm here to tell you, that trigger pull is absolutely the most horrible one I've ever seen on ANY gun I've handled or owned.

It is, hands down, the worst...period.

I traded mine in on a Kimber and then gave the Kimber to my daughter.

Night and day.

One does not need a laser if one has a decent trigger, a trigger that does not pull the gun off target by 10 feet.

I got the Kimber down to about 3.5 pull.

The best I ever had out of the Bodyguard was 12.5...and I felt that was dangerous enough to the point that when I traded it in, it was with the caveat that the trigger was potentially dangerous.

I probably would have given the damn thing away.

As it was, I felt lucky to get a $300.00 trade-in on it.

The Baretta Model 21a Bobcat is absolutely the best pocket pistol, IMO.
