I have a question for the OP. Why limit yourself to a pocket gun? A subcompact, e.g. G26, Taurus 709 Slim, XD subcompact, etc. can all be carried IWB. If being outed is a major concern, you can use a tuckable holster that gives complete concealment. Unless you need to CC while exercising (running, for example), these will give you all the concealment of a pocket gun with far more accuracy, power, and rounds.
im looking for a pocket pistol too...not sure if i will go with a 9mm or 380 yet. in 9mm i have it narrowed down to a s&w m&p shield or a beretta nano. i also had the walther pps in the running, but i dont like the idea of the gun not working without the backstrap....seems like one more thing that can go wrong. in the 380 market, i dont know yet. but tomorrow i am going to kodiak to shoot a ruger lcp and a s&w bodyguard.
Ok, so PM9 vs CM9, polygonal rifling vs conventional rifling: what does this mean, and is one better than the other?
I have and enjoy a Nano. But I generally carry my p238. It's an excellent pistol. I have a bodyguard 380 too and it is a good reliable gun. But compared to my p238, it's a turd. I can't stand the bodyguard trigger and the sig just feels awesome in my hands. I put an extended mag in the p238 which didn't really affect the concealment, but gave me an extra round and makes it feel better in my hand.
Looked at kel-tec, didn't like the feel. Got a SCCY CPX-2, great feel and shoots just fine. OH--- and only 300 bucks.
I`m very seriously thinking about picking up a Taurus TCP from a local old lady I met at the gun shop a few days ago.
I really liked the feel and size. Even my GF liked it over her Charter .38spl
Stopping power-wise, all of my friends are against the idea, but I am really wanting it.
