    I have a few, a colt pocketite in .380, colt 1908 in 32 acp, and a kel tec p3at. I like the fact that they fit in my front pants pocket. I have no dislikes as these handguns purpose is to be a pocket pistol. I guess if there is a dislike, the Kel tec is so light it's almost easy to forget it's there.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    RandyT you need to put that 1908 Colt in the safe!

    That gun is a piece of history. Few people realize that Patton carried a 1908 for "Dress uniform". I even saw a picture of him with a little bitty Browning .25 in a holster on his belt.

    The Colt 1908 and the Browning 1910 in .32 and .380 set a standard for pocket pistols that is still the benchmark for today.

    I pocket carry in the summer but I often carry the "pocket pistols" in the belt during cold weather, and I lean toward slightly larger "pocket pistols" during the winter.

    It is not just the larger pockets on the winter coats, I am also looking for more penetration in winter due to the thicker stuff possible bad guys are wearing.

    M&P Bodyguard in .380. It's a S&W Bodyguard without the built-in laser.
    Fit's in my pocket and it's accurate enough at 7yds that the strongish trigger pull doesn't affect aim that much.
    I too carry bigger in the winter.

    Kel-tec PF9. No drawbacks. Light weight, doesn't imprint and it's pretty accurate.

    In pocket pistols I have a Ruger LC9, which is about a large as I would classify as a pocket pistol; a S&W 349 shrouded hammer 38/357, also on the large side but still works as a pocket piece and I just bought a North American Arms .22 WMR 5 shot Derringer type, truly a pocket gun. Havn't had a chance to fire the NNA .22 WMR as our range is under renovation. I bought the NNA more as a gun to carry while checking my trap line.

    I got a Davis .32 auto with my eyes on a Ruger lc380 (not lcp). Had a Taurus TCP. Mag release button was too sensitive and was always popping the mag out. I got tired of constantly checking it so I sent it down the road.

    My DW has a Taurus PT140 she loves. Had a mag release problem at first. Sent it to the factory and they replaced the plastic one with a metal one and works great.

    Currently, mostly the Ruger LCP or NAA .22mag.
    Close-by Ruger LCR.

    Kinda one of those you want a little bigger, and bigger, than go back a start over.

    Still a Jennings .22 in the hunting carry bag....when people talk about them, I drag it out run a couple of mags thru it, brush it out, put it back with a "Yup, still works....."

    Well, let's see. Currently I carry a Springfield XDs in .45acp. I usually wear cargo pants (only way to carry all the crap without going to a man purse) so printing isn't bad. Used to carry a Taurus PT709, but couldn't get the sights to adjust (YMMV) otherwise It didn't print. Love the XDs!
