As far as guns for a jacket pocket, I am loving the P7 right now.

i'll second on the LCR (and though heavier and not mentioned--a mention on the sp 101).


...sure glad that the venerable p7 is working out well for you. if you tote yours in the pocket--it's the acme of a "pocket rig" to be sure--and very safe, much like the dao pocket rigs that are so much in vogue these days--rigs so much more difficult to shoot well at heightened firing speeds.

at times there are some anomalies, particulary so with the escorts and jaguars. sometimes a few others too;

when the ruger lcp (elsie pea), first came out, a friend of mine bought one. he brought it along one day for testing--it was september of 2008.

surprisingly, it fed several different brands of ammo very reliably. i decided to see how accurate the gun was, especially when coupled with it's rather rudimentary sights--when fired at what might be called somewhat more than "long" distance--for a pipsqueak pistol.

i fired 5 rounds offhand at 20 yards, shooting at a paper plate at slower speed. surprisingly, all five rounds struck inside the inner circle of the plate--i thought this indicated some fairly decent capability for that specific little pistol, with that specific ammo...

all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...
