Pocket Gun Poll

[Shoots4Fun]

I have read a lot of threads on here lately with people asking for advice on a pocket gun and also some discussions individually of the Kel-Tec's and the Ruger LCP. I'd like to see how the numbers add up in a poll from you guys, the experts, so we can look at the numerical results. This may not be completely scientific, since I added two (2) 380 flavors with a 9mm, but I am being selfish because I want to see a comparison and opinions of the three. They are the Kel-Tec P3AT, Kel-Tec PF9, and the Ruger LCP. I added an option for other, because I'm sure there will be strong opinions for none of these. I couldn't find a poll on this before, so hopefully I'm not repeating an old "study".

Thanks in advance for your opinions and votes...

I would also be curious how things like the Taurus 709 slim might stand up.... LCP is my daily carry, but I've been curious about the 709.

I have handled all of these and I would save up and get a Sig P238...

I usually slip my Glock 26 into a front pocket. It prints a little, but I'm a bigger guy so I tend to wear my jeans a little baggy. 100% reliable gun. Extra G19 mag on other side if I think I might need that much lead.

For those that like shiny.

Buzzzzzzz. I hit the botton to give my answer.
The Smith & Wesson 642 revolver. Stoked with 135 gr. +P Gold Dots. And Crimson Trace 305 grips.

Do I get the prize for completely disregarding the poll answers?

Those are nice.

Dryden, I'm looking for ideas and suggestions; all welcome. I know there are a lot of good things out there and I like to hear the perspectives and ideas. Thanks for posting...

Even when I carry a larger caliber... The LCP is always with me:

 

[Interloper]

Tough call, I was thinking about one of the kel-Tecs then I saw the picture of the LCP and was reminded of the excellent finish/quality. Maybe one of each for your carry rotation!

 

[mrjarrell]

For a pocket gun, I carry my old, faithful Charter Arms Bull Pug .44 Special. It'll do whatever I need it to should the situation arise.

 

[WHITE_WOLFE]

I like my LCP for pocket carry.

 

[shooter521]

I voted "other". My current pocket gun is a Colt Pony Pocketlite .380, to be replaced with a Kahr P380 once they become more readily available. SIG P238 would be another excellent option in that size/weight class, and all three smoke the P32/P3AT/LCP when it comes to shootability and accuracy.

I'm loving the comments and suggestions. It shows my limited knowledge (and maybe also my limited funds ), but I'm learning a lot.

Keep them coming and thanks for all of the advice and information.

 

[mjrducky]

I also voted other because I carry the Sig P238 in my pocket everyday. It is well worth the extra in my book.

 

[indykid]

Sorry I couldn't agree with your choices because if you met me on the street, you can be assured that I will have a Kahr PM9 in my pocket.

 

[GregD]

I voted for the Kel-Tec because that is what I have and carry in very hot weather. It's sure not my first choice, I'm still a fan of the 38 spl.

 

[dwh79]

I carry a kel tec 380. The ruger is nice but for just a pocket carry I go for the money saver and got the kel tec. Although I like my Walther ppk/s and hope to soon have a Walther pps.
