Christmas Day is fast approaching and Breitbart News thought it apropos to highlight six pocket guns that should be on wish lists around the country.
These guns are perfect for men who live in climates where cargo shorts/pants are daily wear, as you can put the gun in a small holster and literally drop it in your front pocket and go. The six guns listed below are also excellent gift choices if you have a woman on your list–say, a mother or grandmother who plans to keep the gun in her purse or even to carry the gun in a sweatshirt pocket while walking the kids in the park.

A year from now when the 2nd amendment is the law of the and states have almost NO SAY in whether I can carry, I will buy my first gun in NYC!!
It’s not really a state or federal issue. It’s a RIGHT!
But Trump said he will use the fed to enforce it across the country.
I have no problems with 5 of the 6, but I won’t under any circumstance consider a Kel-Tec anything as a reliable carry weapon. Been burnt twice on that.
Love my P32...but be careful breaking them down.
Release springs can easily damage the plastic frame.
Are the springs retained or able to launch themselves never to seen again. Hunted for a while looking for springs on other weapons. LOL!
They are tiny...and launchable.
My darling husband bought me a couple of early Christmas gifts—a Taurus Ultra Lite and a Taurus .38, both for concealed carry.
So happy we moved from SoCal to E Tennessee.
Once had a DPS trooper argue with me when I told him where it was. "There's no gun there, where is it?" Slooowly pulled my shirt up and he smiled and said "I'll be damned!"
Happy with my bersa 380CC.
Thumbs down on the Kel-Tec.
Spend a little more and get a Kahr CW380 or something. It only weighs a couple more ounces.
Wife has a Ruger LCP in 380. I’m no professional but I’d say it’s only redeeming quality is it’s easy concealability - small and light. Racking the slide is hard - stiff spring and slick slide. Trigger is a long, long pull, not particularly light or smooth. Sights are virtually non existent, but then if the fight isn’t inside an elevator, you’re probably not going to hit with this anyway... It has suffered more stovepipe FTEs than all our other handguns combined... All that said, it is better than nothing. But I usually carry a Glock 9mm or even a full size 1911.
“Happy with my bersa 380CC.”
Never sell this gun. I have had 7 of the Bersa 380s. They are actually really good guns. Not 10,000 round guns, but the trigger on them can’t be compared.
I pulled off the tightest groups with that $125 gun.
Not on the list, but my LCR 38 is great. Piranha grips, speed bee loader and pouch, CF laser.
I’m nailing the target at 100 feet.
130 grain ammo makes it feel soft enough, yet delivers a serious punch.
A great pocket gun.
The Keltec is great if you have the hand strength of Captain America.
Nice company too, I live up the road from their new location. Lots of people like working there.
I usually carry a Ruger LC-9 9mm but the .380 is nice and small for times when I couldn't conceal the LC-9.
I have both the Glock and the Sig. The Glock is, well it’s a Glock, very functional, and very plastic like it’s bigger brothers. OTOH the Sig is like a fine watch, which is to say all metal, and if you are used to a 1911, it will feel like “home” to you. It is also more compact than the Glock. Sig offers a 7-round mag that’s nice because it affords you a place for your pinky. For the Glock there are a couple of vendors who make Mag extensions. I’ve never had either gun malfunction, but my wife had a Kahr .380 that we finally had to return. Even after a trip back to the mfr., it still failed be able to run through a single mag with out an FTE or a tombstone. Dealer tried to say it was because she “limp-wristed” it, but we went to his private range and even he couldn’t make it run. So I’d scratch the Kahr off your shopping list.
I have a KSG and a PMR-30 and over a year on the user’s board and I saw enough of all of them to tell me the guns are neat ideas but very short on implementation and practicality.
Who in the world ever advised the old “Keltec Fluff and Buff” tune ups for frigging plastic parts like feed ramps and stuff? That was a standard answer for a long time. I mean, come on!
I’ve got a Beretta Pico that I like so far. It has eaten 200 of its first 200 rounds without a hiccup. I shoot it as well as my Shield, although not as well at my J-frames. I gather they had problems when first introduced but they seemed to have fixed them. Looks like it is going to be a very nice little gun.
I wear jeans, though, and the only good “pocket gun” - that actually conceals OK in my jeans pocket - is an NAA 22. The Pico disappears in waistband and even on a belt under a T-shirt.
Hmmm. My former next door neighbor down in Cocoa FL (Canaveral Groves) works/worked at their facility there. She loved working there.
Sig 938, It’s a miniature 1911 in 9mm
