Pocket 380

[fishbass62]

What is the best pocket 380 for the money? Need something small for pants pockets.

The TCP is a nice pocket pistol for the money. I had one with no trouble out of it at all.

I've been pleased with the S&W Bodyguard .380. More pleased than I expected.

I have a Ruger LCP380, Mike's pocket holster and you never see it.

I can second this. I have 2. The older/earlier production one was sent back for a cracked firing pin, but the newer one has not had any issues. Nice pocket carry that does not print.

I wear baggy cargo shorts all summer, so I can get away with my Shield 9mm in a pocket holster. Otherwise, I'd probably opt for the Bodyguard. What can I say? I like S&W!

This...all day in a professional office and no one will ever know. I use this holster, works perfect: Pocket Holster

Their wait times are normally not nearly as long as they are portrayed. I think I got mine within a week of ordering.

i love my s&W bodyguard, shoots nice and fits in my pocket well.....

+1 for the Smith BG380. I've tried the LCP as well. I like both but give the nod to the Smith. It just feels a little more well built to me, I like the fact that the slide locks open on an empty magazine (the LCP does not), and I like the fact that the Smith has real sights instead of just a groove cut in the slide.

Ruger LCP with a Crimson Trace laser resting in a Desantis Nemisis holster is hard to beat.

I have or had the following; g19, keltec pf9, sw bodyguard, lcp, j-frame all-steel centennial (model 40-1), ppk/s, browning 1910, cm9. I hate carrying anything in my front pockets. I clip keys to my belt.
smallest: lcp
lightest: lcp
least expensive: lcp
best shooting; cm9
most fun to shoot; cm9
hardest to shoot; ppk/s
best for pocket: lcp
best ccw; cm9
which do/did i like best (in-order); ppk/s, browning 1910, SW model 40-1, cm9, g19, bodyguard .380, pf9.
nothing is perfect in the gun world. that is why i keep buying new guns

Thanks for the comments. I'm going to Kokomo tomorrow and will let you know if I buy one.

I have a DB 380, Diamond back, you just have to be careful and get one with a serial number of ZC or later. Stay away from any that start with ZA, they had problems. They look like a mini Glock. I carry mine in a DeSantis nylon pocket holster. I have been very pleased with it.

I like my Kel-Tec P3AT. If I did it again, I might go with the Ruger LCP. I do like a slide hold open on empty as a visual clue. Otherwise, the original version works great.

I carry a Taurus TCP 380 and really like it. I was going to buy a Ruger LCP but after holding both the Taurus and Ruger the Taurus fit my hand better. You really need to handle each gun to make a final decision on which to buy.

 

[calcot7]

Well.........since I own a Kel-Tec P3AT for my small pockets and a Bersa 85 for my bigger pockets it's both of those.

Sig P238 carried daily.

 

[mrp010]

Midwest in Mishawaka has the P238 equinox with laser for $499 this week.<<<<DEAL!

 

[BluePig]

Sig P238 carried daily.

This is mine too.
I compared the size of the LCP to the P238 and they are pretty close.
I've been very happy.

Yup!!
Even with the Laser Max installed it's invisible.
