I am a big fan of the Ruger LCR in .357 mag. The cam trigger is excellent, weighs a pound with no hammer to snag on clothes. It is the answer to "what gun works for backpacking?"

I've got a Titanium S&W J-Frame .38 Special (+P) with a three inch barrel and adjustable sights that would fit that role quite well, too. Thing feels like it's made of wood.

very easy carry. Fussy on ammo but a gem of a pocket carry.

S&W J-frame with the small factory grips and a Tyler T-grip. The larger grip make them slower to retrieve from a front jeans pocket. The T-grip provides a more secure grip and aids in accuracy

I like the Springfield XDS very well at the moment...........Hb I find the XDS a little too bulky for the pocket but it's a dream to carry in a IWB N82 Tactical ![[Linked Image]](http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/IWB1.JPG)

I use one of four - Beretta 21 as mentioned above, S&W Model 60 38 spec, S&W Model 640 357 mag as mentioned above, but mine has the longer boot grip on it, and a hip clip. Latest and current favorite is a Kahr CW9, but it doesn't really fit in a pocket like the other three do.

S&W 638. 14 oz. It is a natural pointer for defensive use. It is rabbit killing accurate, shot single action, if I practice a little.

My Beretta 950B Jetfire is a true pocket pistol. I carry it alot when I don't or can't carry my full size .45 ACP. ![[Linked Image]](http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s33/orangeokie/Guns/6-24097.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s33/orangeokie/Guns/6-24096.jpg)

A factory sales rep from a major manufacturer reached into his pocket and came out with a Ruger LCP, stating that it was his choice as a pocket pistol. He was not a Ruger rep.

I carried an Airweight S&W J-Frame for 25 yrs till this new wave of .32/.380's came on the scene. I've got a $700 Kahr P380 and a $350 Ruger LCP. The Ruger is far and away the more reliable pistol.
If Rule #1 is have a gun ..... Rule # 1.5 should be have a gun that shoots EVERY time you pull the trigger.
The uninitiated are always easily impressed.

...Rule # 1.5 should be have a gun that shoots EVERY time you pull the trigger. That would eliminate almost every semi-auto, leaving only revolvers.
