Pocket 9mm?

[Reverend Recoil]

I carry a SCCY CP-2. It has been a good and reliable pistol.

Sig 938 or SAA 22lr deringer.

[cwtebay]

Sig 365 SAS, replaced the Walther CCP I have carried for quite a while.
Fits in my pocket nicely in a Clinger holster, no snags even remotely with it!
I have a 1908 Colt for my church and dress up gun that's far less printable also.

One more vote for the Sig 938.

The Springfield Hellcat is a nice pistol and able to be carried in a pocket. I like mine.

The Springfield XDS was my carry gun for quite a while and it comes in 9 or 45. When I want a small 45 I pocket carry it and it works great. Hard to beat but the Hellcat fits me much better.

As an aside, I have also carried a ultralight .38 revolver a lot, also pocket carry. I promise nobody will notice although at first you will be sure everyone can see it. Add a pocket holster and it's invisible.

I am specifically talking about front pocket carry. Back pocket does not work for me at all.

The Ruger EC9s is about as small as they get and can be easily carried in a pocket. It is intended for pocket carry with rounded edges and small sights to avoid getting snagged on stuff when you draw it out. I prefer the jeans or pants they sell at Duluth Trading. Duluth makes several types with extra heavy duty pocket liners that don't wear out and get holes in them fast. I also use a pocket holster to carry the guns in my pockets. But with that said the Kimber Micro 9 series has several versions that fit in a pocket too. I like their Kimber Rapide version myself. You can also pocket carry the Glock 43 or 43X or MOS version too. Smith and Wesson makes a sub compact M&P Shields 2.0 that fits in pockets too.

But I prefer to pocket carry the sub compact .45's that are out there. My first pocket carry is a Springfield XDS mod.2 in 45 ACP (it holds ten rounds too). Then there is the Rock Island Armory BBR 1 .45acp (it also holds 10 rounds too). Then there is the EAA Girsan MC1911 SC Ultimate .45acp and it is just as small as the others. The Kimber Ultra Carry II is another .45acp one as well.

Now if you are wearing tight fitting pants with small pockets or shorts, you will have to go with something even smaller though. The guns I mention work best with loose fitting comfort style pants with larger pockets.

The only pocket carry that works for me is a NAA .22LR.
I love my small autos but the P938 is way too big for my pockets.
I don't wear baggie pants, way too sexy for that.

Kinda bounce between a Bond Arms Bullpup 9mm or S&W 340PD. All depends on the weather.

I have moved off .45ACP 1911s and 9MM compacts to an LCR22 w/Hogue green laser, loaded with Fed Punch or CCI Velociter.

I’m about ready to pull the trigger on a micro 9. My head is spinning from thinking to much about which one. I think I might get a P365 with a manual safety. The grip kinda feels too small but I’m sure I’ll get use to it. I had a beretta nano and loved the size and how it fit in my pocket. It shot a foot high at 10 yards so I get rid of it. I’d take another if could get my hands on one and see If I could figure out the POA issues I had. I ordered a DB9 Gen 4 l last week and it came in with dremel marks all over the barrel from factory. I passed on it. Figured for a $250 13 oz 9mm it already had the righting on the wall that it had issues. I am also debating on the Glock 43 and 26, the sig 938,…and??? Just wanted to stick with 9mm since I have piles of brass, powder, and sone SP primers to keep me content for the summer. I do like the new S&W CSX but have seen to many YouTubers show the triggers not resetting.

Again, Kel-Tec.

[Tripplebeards]

Again, Kel-Tec.

They discontinued the pistol. Not available anywhere I did an internet search. I bought a PMR 30 and it went back to the factory the same day for failure to feed issues. Went back three times in a row within a month. They ended up refunding me directly. I swore off Kel-Tec after that. I have squirt guns with more durable construction.

EC9s , fits in my back pocket in dress pants . I use a We We People ITW holster . Back pocket in dress pants in church and in the back of jeans . These holsters have a sturdy belt clip on them .

Have a Beretta Nano and it shoots to POA. Two issues I had with it was the recoil spring assembly's thin face sheared off and tied up the gun. Other issue was I lost the rear night sight, while shooting in tall grass. It was only held in with a tiny set screw.

Purchase two recoil assemblies from Brownells and use one for practice and one for carry. The rear sight I replaced with a standard rear and loctited it in place. Added a Laserguard for low light capabilities, for a few dollars more than a rear night sight would have cost.

My other carry semi auto is a Kahr CM-9...........IMO, both the Hellcat and the Sig 365 defeat the purpose of a lightweight carry piece. Yeah they weigh in the neighborhood of 20 ounces but that's unloaded. Those extra rounds sure add up fast.

Being a Southpaw, I have no use for any levers on the sides of pistols. Plus, they add to the width. YMMV

Sig 938.

[MostlyLeverGuns]

I've got a S&W Shield I carry a lot. Surprised by its accuracy, totally reliable, might be a bit big for some pockets. Mine has a safety, I mostly ignore the safety unless holstering or setting on table or shelf.
I take the safety off after holstering.

Guess I’ll be putting off my purchase for a while. While googling the P365 and Karhr cm9 the new Walther WMP popped up. Watched a few YouTube videos on how well it cycles all 22mr ammo. Called my local Cabelas and they got their first and only one in the day before. I bought it over the phone for $499. I will pick it up Friday or Monday on the way through to visit relatives. I did some more reading and after a few phone calls I found out Walther doesn’t offer or make a red dot plate for leupold for some reason. I have a 3.5 mm delta point I wanted to use on it. Guess I’ll have to sell it and use the the money for a tijicon, holosun, or vortex since that’s the only plates offered. Also it doesn’t have a manual safety for some goofy reason. Figured a 28 oz heavy barreled pistol that most will use for small game hunting would have one instead of a Glock type safety. At least I watched a guy shoot his a 1000 times on YouTube and only had ONE FTF with non recommended ammo. Sounds like a winner!

I carry a SCCY CP-2. It has been a good and reliable pistol.

The new Gen 3 is even better!

[Tripplebeards]

I just threw a couple of my firearms on GB. They are ones I restored and posted the results here last couple of winters. Neither have been shot since my restore jobs so they are going to get sold off to fund a micro 9. Back in the market again.lol…but still undecided.

[charlie b]

I've been curious about those SCCY's for a while. Did not notice the Gen 3 was out.

How is it on the range?
