Not paying for a P238. My Shield, XDs and Bersa are all on the upper end of a pocket pistol when loaded.
WHY do they give unloaded specs? Nobody carries their guns EMPTY! bang

I've only found two pistols that I consider true pocket pistols and thats the 32 Tomcat and the High Standard derringer in 22 Mag, the only one in 380 that might make my list is the little Kel-Tec. It has to be small, easy to get in and out of the pocket, double action only and reliable, accuracy is not my concern. And before anybody says the Tomcat is SA/DA mine isn't, I had it converted to DA only, the hammer bobbed, the safety disabled, all sights taken down smooth with the slide and all edgeds smoothed out.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Taking 9MM as example, you could use anything from 90 gr. Glaser frangible rounds to 147 gr. sub-sonic. It's measureable but trivial, IMO.

The kel-tec mets all this except bing reliable. I have tried keltec several times over the years, the last being a380. I have had bad luck, or they are junk! Not sure which, but i am sure i will never buy anything else that says keltec on it.

Still a fan of my old Seacamp .32 I have considered moving up to a keltec or Ruger with a pocket clip. I like those little berettas like mentioned above too.

The best pocket .380 IMHO is the Seecamp if you can find one.

My Shield and XDs are actually lighter than the Bersa.
he ones I listed are about 1/2 the weight of anything I own.
Besides, I need another gun.

Picked 1 up at the gun show in Mesquite for $ 199.00 + tax. Long trigger pull but a good shooter.


I carry a gun because a cop is to heavy!

Been carrying the tcp for about 2-years now. Shot 600+ rounds through it without a malfunction. Carry the xds now, but stil revert to the taurus on ocassion.
