Kel-Tec P-11, Ruger LCP, Taurus PT 738, Kel-Tec P-32, Taurus 85 Revolver, and North American Arms .22 Magnum.
Thanks ...
None of them are in my boat except I do have a 22 Mag NA Arms Sidewinder which makes a fine pocket gun when nothing else will do.
The Ruger SR22 with CCI Velocitors or Aguila Intercepters is superior for self-defense over the NAA single action only mites. A 9mm in a frame smaller than the Glock 19 is a one shot then search for the sights confusion. CZ82 is better than any in the list.
I’ve been reading a lot about the LCP and LC9s and one problem I’ve come across is some people have had the magazine release on them when they grip the gun because they hit the mag release button. That’s something that should never happen in a self defense gun. The LC9s also has other magazine problems.
I would replace the Taurus 738 with the model 709/740 in 9mm / .40 S&W respectively. Slighly more expensive, but either 9mm or .40 offers more stopping power than .380cal. Plus the 709 and 740 offer a frame mounted safety, which makes IWB and pocket carry safer.

Taurus 85 Revolver. I got one of these, Really good trigger with rubber grips. Buffalo Bore cartridges short barrel low flash 158gr. soft cast LSWHP-GC 850fps. Weaver stance, FTW.
One guy at a local shop I know carries a Bersa .380. Good value for the price.
I bought one of those POS Kel-tec pistols. First shot went bang, second shot went bang, third shot went click. They tried to tell me it was because the ammo they sold me (S&B) had “hard primers”. Maybe their pistol has a weak spring. Sounds like progressives blaming everything but themselves.
I prefer a PA 63 Walther PPK clone.($250.00/mint)
