re: Looking for a true pocket pistol. Would rather a 9mm but they all seem too big.

Taurus GX4 is the perfect size for pocket carry in 9MM

Good video. I like him and have seen a couple of his videos.

I wanna check out the Kahr CW380 first before I make a decision but the Ruger LCP Max looks to be the best choice.

Kimber EVO SP,
Nice pistol, but too big and heavy.

Loved my 22 Ruger LCP, before the boating incident. But I also back the other posters on the Kahr cm 9. Great little gun.

Ruger 380 you better hold on to. Glock 26 is harder to conceal but a whole lot easier to shoot

Ruger LCP Max


This is what i pocket carry and it's great. Get the high end Hornady hollow points and they work great with the pistol. But you'll need to practice

I've been toying with the idea of replacing it with a Hellcat micro-compact, but its definetly not as comfortable. and at that point I may as well stick with my shield AIWB.

Go with the LCP Max

went to the gun shop a while back and looked at the S&W CSX

really tiny gun if you have big hands, but will fit the poskcet nicely

p365 felt better in the hand, but is striker fired vs the hammer fired CSX

Ruger LCP .380 -

you must regularly practice with it. Easy as hell to CC. Shooting it not so much.

Hellcat is an amazing little gun and a true pocket pistol with impressive capacity.

Have one. Love it. About the best of compromises is size/capacity you can get.

I ended up getting the LCP Max. Seriously considered the Diamondback DB9 that he showed me, but I don’t know anything about it and I can imagine it’s very snappy.

Put 50 rounds through the LCP Max after I bought it and very happy with it. Gonna need a lot of practice with it though.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

That’s why I went with it. Not the smallest or lightest, but very close and the 10+1 put it in the lead.

It's a good website but double check them if you're serious about buying. I almost didn't look at a Shield Plus based on their picture of it compared to the Shield, and turns out it just wasn't accurate.

Springfield Hellcat is my EDC. I either carry IWB or in front pocket. Depending upon the pants/pocket, it is an easy pocket carry. I Cary iwb mostly, though.
