I hate ruger and I hate subcalibers and I hate the no bho and I hate the concept of a pocket gun.

But, I need a pocket gun and I can't deny that this is an excellent firearm for the role at an excellent price.

Someone PLEASE talk me out of it within the week.

If you have big hands it just doesn't feel right. Almost bought one but went with the kel-tec pf9 instead. A little bigger and felt better in my hand.

I would go with a Walther PPS they come in a 9 and a 40. Nice gun, very small comparatively. I know Bruce at Hunter can ge them. They run about $750.

..thats gonna be hard


I own one!

no comment lol

i ahve small hands.

the walther mag release makes the magazines superfluous cause I can't get them out

and revolvers are out of the question.
I carried a jframe for a year, didn't liek the way it carried as a pocket gun.

<--- I have small hands too

Glocks are too big for me .

glocks are unusable for me
I've had a few.
if they fit me I'd have 20 of them.
no chance on the thumbweb-to-trigger face distance.

Ok, we need to talk!  We both have the same challeges!

lol

Get the LCP..

Unofortunately, if you're looking for a real reason NOT to get one...they're tough to find.

I have medium/large hands and have no issues holding/shooting the LCP. For a pocket gun you're getting just that, a pocket gun, something you can put in your pocket and go about your buisness without having to worry about finding the right holster, wearing the right type of clothing.


The only downside is the cal. , but any gun is better than no gun. If you want more fire power save up for a Rohrbaugh, they're the same size, feel like a tank in your hand, but cost nearly three times as much as the LCP.


I say go for it.

me? huge palms tiny fingers.

guns I've foudn worked for me:

1911's with a short trigger and flat msh are perfect.
Single stack 9's are also good
I currently have a beretta vertec that is at the top limit of my reach, but also good.
XD9/40 fit ok too.
revolvers are actually not that good for me cause of the big palm, though the trigger reach is great.

MY 'dream gun' now is a 9mm 1911......  I had a kimber 9mm a few years back, wish i still had it!

"any gun is better than no gun" exactly.

the way I've heard it said is that "a pocket gun is a gun that you rarely go out with by itself (e.g. without a larger gun), but you never leave home without."

I need it for formal wear in a pocket holster.

Try the R9

"two is one, and one is none"

Two local stores have them in stock.  I've had one on my mind lately and been looking out for them.

You can also say ammo shortage but from the stores I've been to I see it there.

Good Luck!!!

1911 now that's a commitment!!!

I've had the p11 too (I've had alot lol).

nice gun, trigger was so-so

pocketable?  not in a fitted suit.

I thought about the single stack kel tek 9, but heard abotu firing pin issues an got scared.

And yeah winter is fun cause we can carry our full size pistols.

I already wore my vertec a few days this fall.

Odd... the trigger on my MK9 is one of the nicest DAO's Ive ever fired.

get a sig 220 in .45 thats my edc lol

i carry a kahr p9 in a pocket holster and after a couple days you forget its there. im lucky and can wear jeans every day, not sure how it would work in dress pants. for drwess up i use a mitch rosen slimline iwb. but it sure is easier to reach in my pocket.

I just bought an LCP also. Great gun for carry, but the sites are a little pathetic but I didn't buy it to target shoot! They make a lot of things to make it easier to hold. I have big paws and can only get 2 fingers on the grip so the +2 mag extension is in my future.
