Help me decide, new pocket pistol

[sheep dog]

What type of pants or shorts?

THIS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!! My pocket carry when need arises is a glock 26 but pant/pocket style has everything to do with fit of pocket guns. I cannot pocket carry a g26 in any and every pants but i select the pants accordingly. But a "true pocket pistol" is gonna be lcp size

G42 is actually a lot smaller than the 43. I didn't realize the difference until I grabbed my wife's G42 and threw it in my pocket one day. Solid pocket gun.

Had the first model LCP. Wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either other than the size. Very very small and you could easily forget you're carrying it it so light and small. If the new one's are improved then that would be a really good option also.

Casual shorts, like golf shorts.....or dress slacks

If u want zero print in this style pant or have the but of the gun pokin out of pocket. U r best off with lcp size pocket pistol

I don't really like my Kel Tec 32 for obvious reasons but if you're wanting something small that will make a hole in somebody and fits in a pocket, it fits the bill.

Ok, so I'm in need of a "pocket pistol". I own and carry Shield, G43, and P938 and like them all. That being said I've narrowed my search to P238, Bodyguard, and G42. I really prefer a 9mm but outside of a Kahr CM9 I can't find anything that really fits, and Hides in my pocket in 9mm. So, I guess .380 is the next logical step. Anyone like to give me feedback on your favorite and why?

Thanks!

G42- I can keep all shots in the body at 25yds, also have the striker mag extension adding (2) rounds.

S&W Bodyguard- Had to add a galloway trigger, extra 100.00, still has a long pull. Sights are terrible, not nearly as accurate.

Shot the wifes Gen 2 LCP today for the first time. Made me remember how much I dislike the trigger pull and recoil. Got through about half a box.

Definitely not the most fun gun to shoot. But most of these pocket pistols are "Get off me!" guns anyhow.

I like the g42 but it's not really what I would call a pocket pistol. If the size works for you I would go for it. Otherwise look for something smaller.
