I'm looking for a little .380 or 32 to keep in my pocket. I was just going to buy the cheapest one I could get my hands on. As long as it has a history of being reliable, that is.

I carried a CZ 70 in .32 for quite a while, but it's not super small. Those are very reliable and have cancelled a lot of czechs over the years.

A Ruger lcp will fit in your pocket, cheap, and reliable.

If it's strictly for just-in-case purposes, look at this: https://northamericanarms.com/shop/firearms/naa-22ms/ I know for a fact it'll fit in the pocket watch spot in a pair of jeans.

I've been looking at the lcp. I have an lcr. I love how simplistic it is. but it's a little bulky.

[–] 1 pt

The lcr is an incredibly popular secondary or tertiary pistol. I love 22 mag.

That NA Arms mini revolver is terribly inaccurate, but a 22 mag leaves that little barrel the same speed as a 22LR out of a rifle. Most come with 2 cylinders so you can practice with 22LR.

I’ve carried the NAA 22lr for years. I own two in fact. My friends laugh at me until I offer to shoot them with five rounds of CCI Stinger or mini-mag. Can hit center mass at five yards

I have 2. I use the mag cylinder, though. One has the flip out holster with the belt clip on it. Looks like a PC mouse with the top of the hammer sticking out. The Mrs takes that one jogging.

Same story about my friends. "Is that even real?" With some practice, you can definitely hit your target from 5 yards. It's a lot funnier to swap in the 22LR cylinder and have your buddies try to hit a pop can from that distance. Most can't in 5 shots.

Check out glock 42. 380 acp and it's tiny and small and fits right in.

I purchased a g42 for the kiddo and have had nothing but problems with it.

What kind of problems? I bought one for my wife and she's had no issues. Guess that's what happens when you buy a USA made glock.

This is a good option too. I chose the LCP2 over it, but it was a close decision.

[–] 1 pt

For some reason I thought the lcp2 was 22lr?

NAA .32 if you can find one. Modeled after the Seecamp. Very small. Also, Beretta Tomcat, another small .32, if you can find one. Plan one $300-$400 each.

M&P BG38 revolver is worth a look.

Yeah. I like how small and light it is. I want something that I literally drop in my pocket.

Ok, I LOVE my Ruger LCP2

https://www.ruger.com/products/lcpII/models.html

I could not recommend it more.

It's reliable, has a last round hold open and a better trigger than the LCP1. It can handle +p rounds and it is just really comfy to wear.

That's the only pocket holster I've got. Great for non-permissable environments. I was lucky enough to pick one up for ~$275.

LCP is nice, so are the old Colt Pocket Vest pistols....

[–] 0 pt

You mean the old like 1920s ones? They're .25 or .32 right? I gotta go look this up.

I have an Italian knock off of the Mini Colt in .22

I'm supposed to be convincing you away from the G43 (https://us.glock.com/en/pistols/g43)? How about because the G36 exists (https://us.glock.com/en/pistols/g36) giving you .45acp in a super compact firearm!

The 36 is a tiny bigger, you still have 6 capacity but in .45ACP!

"I hate Glock; I've only got a few" always made me laugh. 45 is why I love the G30sf so much.

I'm not really a Glock fan either, I don't actually own one. I love my Beretta PX4, but it's full size so I don't CCW it.

not a Glock fan

doesn't own one

See the problem?

> G36 but not the cool G36

[–] 0 pt

I have a P365. Cant beat the capacity...very snappy though. And Sig mags are atrociously expensive.

Have an 80% G43 frame though that I need to finish off once I have a free weekend afternoon to put into it.

[–] 0 pt

Can't be as snappy as the LC9, holy shit. It's easier to hold onto a pissed off bald eagle.

I fell into a G43 for $300 from a co-worker. Bought it for his wife, she couldn't rack it, so it sat in a drawer for a year having never been fired.

What are you going to use for the slide? Actual glock or one of those brazilian clones? Let me know how it runs once you're done.
