If I’m wearing my Wrangler Riggs work jeans or shorts with the big roomy pockets, my Sig P365 9mm or Springfield Hellcat 9mm works great.
If I’m wearing Wrangler Cowboy Cut Jeans with the smaller pockets, Ruger LCP Max 380 loaded with Buffalo Boar Outdoorsman Hard Cast loads.

The LCP is the only true pocket pistol I have ever found. Unless you want a two shot derringer. I'll take my LCP any day! Ruger knocked it out of the park with the LCP! I have two of them and have had them for years. Nothing better for the front pocket!
A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!

There are a few pocket 380s. I’ll pass
Ruger has never knocked a semi auto center fire pistol out of the park.

If my clothes let me manage it, the G26 will get the nod. If not, it is usually my G43.
In winter I carry my 638 Airweight Bodyguard in a jacket pocket as a BUG.
In light shorts it is often a P-32 I have had for many years.

The P32 is a good little pistol, unlike some inexpensive clunkers the slide stays back after last shot is fired.

My S&W 632 .32 Mag rides in my back pocket almost daily. It is a little chunky for front pocket. For front pocket, you might find me with an LCP, Colt Mustang, or shudder, Beretta 950 .25 Auto. Beretta .25 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It is a joke of a gun. But, working over 200 GSW as a Paramedic, I did see a man killed with it one time. 72 year old black mammy got mad at 75 year old black daddy, and she started firing the .25! One bullet took out the light fixture in the ceiling. One bullet went through the refrigerator. Several bullets in the floor. And one bullet hit the man. It hit him on the outside of his upper arm. His left arm. It travelled through the arm, and missed the bone. It travelled into the chest, and missed the rib. And it stopped right in the middle of his heart. Dead Right There. Hell of an xray. What a fluke! Had it hit the arm bone it would have stopped. Had it hit the rib it would have stopped. I saw lots of people hit with a .25, often doc put a band aid on the little hole and the guy walked out of the ER. But not this guy. When I was a young officer on patrol I had to bag up several people killed by .25 autos. I worked in the hood and .25’s were prevalent in the 80’s. Strangely enough, most were the same wound area. The victim had probably turned sideways and raised their arm to shield the head. The bullet(s) hit the armpit and penetrated into the heart. Quite deadly. That being said, the .25 is a poor choice for defense as most of you already know. Ron

But I value your opinion vey highly and I'll try one very soon! Thanks! I have the original LCP, the one just before they changed the frame size, but made after they made the improvements on the trigger pull. I like it for being so small and pocket friendly, but it's no fun to shoot. That's what I like so much about the Sig P238. It both fits in the front pants pocket AND is a great shooter. You could actually shoot several boxes of ammo and enjoy it at the range. I stop "enjoying" the LCP after just a couple of mags full.

Ron you are 100% correct that the .25 is a poor choice but it's better ( most of the time ) than a rock.
Take care,

Another good one to consider is the Colt Mustang Plus II.... Nothing wrong with any of the Colt Government type .380 pistols. I had the original back in the late 1980s. Loved it. I pocket carried it a lot. When the more compact models started coming out, I intended to get one, so sold my original full sized Government .380, but just then Clinton made his deal with Colt to stop producing them (along with any other popular CCW models they made) and suddenly the price on them went through the roof and I never got one till Sig started making them under the name P238.

I was never a fan of pocket carry until I got a part time retirement job that requires me to A. Wear a company polo shirt and tan 5-11 pants and B. Requires travel at all hours to hospitals in rough neighborhoods. So 2 days a week I carry my Ruger EC9s in a pocket holster loaded with 147 grain Federal HST ammo.
