Travis, how accurate is the lcr in the 22? What is your defensive round of choice? Thanks I shot this right out of the gate after I bought it. 25yds, strong side barricade. I don't really have a defense ammo recommendation. I know Stingers kill the hell out of schit. I am in and out of town a lot, so a .22LR just makes a lot of sense for me. But I consider a pocket gun more for getting out of schit more than anything else. And I believe a .22LR can get you out of a lot of problems. Travis

The really nice thing about a .22 is how fast you can fire them while holding dead on your target, i.e., no recovery time between shots.

I carry my springfield XDs in my front pocket....it is definately not the lightest thing around and it can print at times, but it carries just fine and I love the .45
I also have a Ruger LCP with a belt clip....its is my "church gun" as well as when I wear light clothing, especially shorts

I've got a 357 LCR and I like it. It's a hand full but I can still hit in "rapid fire" or double tap type of situation, but it takes a lot of effort. I prefer a 38+P like the Buffalo Bore for short barrels. I also use just standard police issue LSWCHP 158 grain that was popular for so many years. They are hard to beat as they have a good trigger. I've had a 642 for years (no key lock) but the more I shoot the LCR the better I like it over the 642. When I get a holster for the Ruger that's what I'll be carrying now.

Ruger LCP with CT laser in a Desantis pocket holster is all I can get away with in my front pocket, at least with jeans. Tacticool pants might be different.

I have a S&W 432 PD, Airweight, 6-shot snubbie, shrouded barrel, internal hammer (DAO), 32 MAG. A good shooter and perfect for carry.

Ideally, yeah, but with a pocket gun, you can justify going down even to .32 ACP, IMO. Hell, in most cases, a .22 would work well enough, at least as a deterrence to further aggression. No one wants to get shot, period. But, naturally, up to a point, the bigger the better.
