Ruger LCP - With a round count of about 750 rds thus far, it hasn't missed a lick. I think that could be considered reliable. It's certainly small & light enough for pocket carry. The sights are spartan, but it's really not too much of a hindrance.

Kahr P380 - After a couple of trips back to Massachusetts, and well over 500 rds of "break-in", it's finally starting to perform to some basic level of reliability. Great trigger & sights. If it was as reliable as the LCP, it would be my perfect pocket pistol.

I carried a hammerless airweight J-Frame S&W for a few decades before the current crop of .380's came on the scene, but I can carry the small autos mentioned with no regard for any particular style of pants/shorts. Couldn't do that with a J-Frame.

Everything else I've tried was either too heavy, too big or unreliable.
