Small Sub compact

capshot · 02-04-2009

After searching the forum, I have seen alot of small sub compacts, I have been looking because work will allow handguns aslong as it is concealed. Now I was looking at the P3AT and the Ruger LCP, a little bigger is not to bad, I was wondering what you guys can recommend. It will probley be in a ankle holster or pocket holster.

If you dont mind me asking, where do you work that will allow you to carry? And are they hiring?

Do you wear any type of uniform? Shirts tucked in or out?

Pocket holster:
Kel-Tec P32/P3AT
Ruger LCP
Kahr P380 or PM9
Colt Mustang/Pony Pocketlite

Ankle holster - any of the above, plus:
S&W J-Frame .38
Bersa Thunder 380
Glock 26/27
Kahr P- or CW- series

The ones you listed are more "mouse guns" and to those I would add a Beretta Tomcat.

Subcompacts are more the 3" autos like the Glock 27 and the XD subcompact line, which are very concealable in an IWB holster with an untucked shirt.

Between those are guns like the Walther PPK/s and Sig 232.

I work in a call center, In the policy it states no weapons in the building, per the owner, he is fine with the weapon being in the vehicle and fine with it being in the building as long as it is a subcompact weapon it is concealed and that you have a LTCH. I have to admit I can't complain lol

. As for the dress policy it is normally jeans and a Button shirt or Polo shirt so not bad at all.

If that's the case you could probably carry IWB pretty easily. I suppose it depends on your wardrobe, but my husband had no issues at all concealing his G19 based on his current wardrobe and rarely prints.

ETA: Although, a G19 doesn't fall under "subcompact" does it? You could carry a G26 pretty easily, then.

Yup, forgot that one. And the NAA Guardians, too.

I was keying on the gun size and modes of carry the OP stated that he preferred. An XD-9SC might be called a subcompact, but you're not going to pocket carry one... even ankle carry would be problematic for most folks with a gun that size.

Glock 26 or 27. Maybe a 30SF if you want a .45.
