    I use snubnose revolvers(38Spec & 357M) for " pocket" guns.

    You may have to be a bit more specific for most folks to help you decide.

    Are you looking for another semi auto, or a revolver to fit in your pocket?

    Does the amount of rounds a concern?

    Are you looking for something in a snubnose 41 - 44M size, or is that too large?

    Or , are you looking for smaller calibers like 327M on down?

    More info helps.

    S&W 638 with pocket holster. Pants with BIG pockets.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    I carry either a S&W 642 or Kahr CM-40 in my pocket.

    I have a Ruger LC 9 Pro S....that has never failed me....Striker fired so you need a pocket holster (DeSantis for me) or IWB (Azula for me)....shoots anything I run through it.....it's sights are adequate but I consider this 9mm pretty much a 15 to 20 yd carry gun due to the smaller sights.....good luck and good hunting for that pistol you want....Paul

    LCP 2 for me. Lite and easy to shoot. Good trigger on the LCP 2 as well.

    +1 on LCP which is my edc 'though those micro 1911s (P238/938, kimber micro, springfield, etc.) seem purty other than price...

    SIG 238, but a bit pricy. Bersa Firestorm 380, a little bigger, but a good price point. If your comfortable with .32 caliber, look at the Beretta Tomcat and Alleycat.

    I have a Colt Detective Special with a 3" barrel, shot butt in 5 shot .38 Special. Makes a great little pocket revolver. I carry it a lot in my jeans front and sometimes in the back pocket. Rides real nice. james

    I will second the "angry" LCP.

    Weighs nothing, works reliably, and will kill a coyote according to Governor Rick.

    I have determined from experience that a gun weighing more than 20 ozs. is too heavy for pocket carry.

    Minimum caliber .38 Special 2" or .380 ACP.

    Whatever gun you choose should be capable of safe carry with the chamber loaded and be capable of immediate firing by grasp-present-trigger stroke only, without having to manipulate a mechanical safety lever.

    I don't care for the Glock-style trigger on the LCPII, but prefer the DAO original LCP as a BUG.

    Generally prefer a six-shot rather than 5-shot revolver, S&W Model 12 airweight K-frame round butt. S&W 940 DAO, 5-shot stainless Centennial in 9mm Para which reloads quickly with star-clips also good, but a bit heavy at 21 ozs.

    If it's a Colt, it would be 6 shot. S&W Chief Spl. 5 shot.

    Speedo66, my revolver is a 6 shot. Don't know how I got that 5 in there. Old age I guess or a brain *art. james

    Or a kel-tec pf9. I have one. It’s been my edc summer carry for about 4 or 5 years. It’s dependable and remarkably accurate. If it has a down side ( to some but not me) mine does not particularly care for 147 grain bullets. It does gobble up 125 grain boolets ( or j words in 124 or 115grains for that matter) with out even the slightest problem. It’s a great little gun and I am extremely happy with it
