Sweet pocket rocket!

A perfect example of what works for the individual, not what an expert or the net says.

I have all of you beat!

High Standard 101M- - - - -take the grip panels off and it disappears into a front pocket.

Kahr PM 9 Crimson Trace and night sights in a High Noon pocket holster was my "always gun" for years. Long trigger pull that required practice but either 7 or 8 shots. It never seemed to "print" in any of my pants pockets but just a hair too long for rear pocket carry

Recently I took a Model 60 2" and a 442 in for trigger work. The Model 60 came back "improved" but the 442 came back perfect. The 442 has Crimson Trace grips but all I could do was paint the front sight.

I have to put my trigger finger past the first joint so it does not pinch my finger. The trigger break stages well. With my hand on the grip I can draw and hit a 6" circle pretty much every time from 5 yards in just under 1 Second. I've read that a hammerless revolver can be fired from inside a jacket pocket. I'm not planning to test that out but it might be something to consider.

Given the current level of social unrest I've taken to carrying a Glock 23 in a Sparks IWB holster. If it's cool enough to wear some kind of cover garment I'll have that with me. What everyone says about Sparks holsters seems to be true super comfortable and secure.

If I'm wearing the Glock it's likely I have the 442 in a pocket. If I'm not the PM 9 is generally still my first choice.

When you positively want to blind and deafen every mother f*ckr in the vicinity....

Noassatal impaired.. my sympathy.. Front pocket should work.

Can't think of a bigger POS to spend $49.95 on.
I know where there is pond that has 3-4 in it.
Complete POS !!

LOL!

My mom had, probably still has the Lady Lorcin equivalent but with mother of pearl stocks. My uncle told her that it was a POS but she wanted it anyway. He had a FFL, I think it was $29.99 dealer cost at that time (early 90’s). It always fired but jammed constantly.

I sold cartons of these and of Ravens. Both had the Jam-damn reputation. I bought many back as a private party and adjusted the magazine ears. Mine never misses a beat, because I tuned the magazine.

LOL...they also allowed improper installation of the firing pin (backward), and would come in locked up. Tear down in a minute, reverse the pin, and off to the tin cans. I bought this one for $10.00 because of a reversed firing pin.

I use it mostly as a training pistol when working young dogs.

The time my FIL and a friend came back from buying a gun without me he was excited to show me his new to him Jennings pistols. I shook my head but not wanting to rain on his parade said we would look up a review.

I read the first one up which began with ..." Jennings are a good pistol. To throw at someone while you find a good pistol."

It was dead silence for a second but we all broke out laughing pretty good at that.

I have a J-22 that I've been hanging on to.......hoping to get $50 for it in a gun buy-back (I paid $49.99 for it, new, in 1987). It was fed a steady diet of CCI Stingers until the chrome plating at the muzzle cracked and the slide began flying off when I shot it.

As far as a "pocket pistol"....... Really like my Kimber Micro .380 But, it'd take me about 30 seconds to get drawn from the pocket of my jeans. It's definitely a "pocket-sized" qualifier. But it rides around on my belt, semi-high ride in slightly modified Bianchi leather.

I carry a Walther P22 while in the field

Dispatch a needed Badger or Skunk.....or squirrel

Smith 642 or my Sig 365X

Sig 938 or my S & W 649.

I'll stick with my S&W Bodyguard .380

The 642 is a fair consideration. I've toyed with several different kinds of ammo for car4y. I'm currently enamored with 158 grain LSWC's.

I was just going to make almost the exact comment. 😀

Usually in a Yaqui slide holster versus a pocket but either a Sig 938 with 115 Gold Dots or a Smith 637 with 135 short barrel Gold Dots.
