I LOVE my Sig P238

[DCBryan1]

Yep...and my G42.

[hardspunned]

Seconds on the Sig. Mine is carried in my front pocket, how about you?

[Seruzawa]

In before the .45acp snobs.

[V_TWIN]

Oh boy pre Xmas gun porn! Love my S&W bodyguard. Mine is W/O laser. Out the door new paid $315 a couple of years ago.

If you feel you must have a pocket pistol on you at all times the LCP is okay. However, it simply has the worlds worst trigger. Best to think of it as a contact weapon. Just my $.02.

[SpinnerWebb]

I carry the Bersa Thunder .380. I find it fits my small hands better than most.

[9422WMR]

Sig 238 carried in front pocket, wearing jeans or slacks to the office. It’s my daily carry piece too!

[strings6459]

Forget the S&W Bodyguard mine is back to the factory for the second time for repair. It will not be my everyday carry when I get it back.

[Puppage]

Yup, have one of those, too.

[Puppage]

The same way, although sometimes in my little Sig kydex.

Kahr is good. That said, my wife has a Glock 42 and it is best of breed. Accept no substitutes.

There are .380ACP platforms for pocket carry and belt/holster carry. So, I guess it depends on how you carry the firearm.

I like the Glock 42 a lot, but it is not that practical for pocket carry (but it is perfect for belt or appendix carry).

For belt/holster carry the Bersa Thunder is just fine.

The Ruger LCP and the Kel Tec P3AT (upon which the Ruger LCP is based) are great pocket carries.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

The Ruger LCP II is great and priced right. It’s even pretty accurate and shoot’s tight groups. The trigger (for a micro) is actually excellent. That probably accounts for the tight groups.

I found the ruger LC380 to be the best pocket 380 I have shot. It has decent sights, and is heavy enough to improve the shooting experience. It is essentially a 9mm pocket gun rechambered to 380

[SkyDancer]

Beretta Tomcat with Hydra-shocks.

[JoeFromSidney]

Bersa Thunder. Nice gun. That's what my wife carries.

[Mr Rogers]

My LCP has at least as good a trigger as my Shield - which I sold. The LCP was designed for use at bad breath range. It is an excellent pocket pistol. Not much as a range gun.

Prefer a 38 revolver, but they take up more space.

[SERKIT]

I’ve owned the Walther PPKS in .380....it was too small for my hand....sold it.
