  | Considering a pocket pistol, advice please. Just as the title suggests, I'm considering a pocket pistol for times when it is too hard to carry a full size gun. One thing I find very troublesome is the 320 and 380 ammo that comes in most of the pocket pistols. In fact I have a nice AMT DAO Back Up pocket pistol, but even with the best 380 ammo I feel it is an underwhelming choice. The AMT is also a heavy little gun and with all the tactical tupperware available I figured maybe now is the time to shop for a replacement for the little DAO Back Up that sits in the safe. What is the BEST, money is no object, pocket pistol on the market today. I want something that will slip into my front pocket, fits in the palm of my hand, and packs a much punch as possible. Preferably a 9mm. With that criteria, the small Kahr PM9 is too big. I am looking for a true pocket gun. Thoughts?

| White Wolf, The Rohrbaugh was recommended to me by a dealer friend of mine in Pennsylvania about a year ago, but I wasn't serious about buying back then. I've looked them over and they are well made, high quality guns, but I don't really know the pocket pistol market so I don't know what else is available. Here is a link to Rohrbaugh Firearms: Rohrbaugh Firearms

| Rohrbaugh R9 I haven't had the opportunity to shoot one yet but I've handled a few and was very impressed with the build quality and attention to detail. 9mm about as small as you can get.

| Well, that is why there are so many .380 pocket guns circulating, I do not know of a 9mm pocket gun other than the Rohrbaugh R9! The Kahr is the only close one, and I agree that it is too big for pocket carry. If there are any other options I'd live to hear them as I'm going to end up with a LCP otherwise. Can't afford the Rohrbaugh R9, and it would kill me to get one and then not be able to shoot it much as they recommend. |

| $1100? Or so I think. Edit - found them for as low as $999.00 so a little less than I thought. Someone wants to buy me one I'd love em' forever, but otherwise I will never own one. Last edited by dblagent; 05-23-2008 at 17:27. Reason: Found prices |
