Pretty good review by Chris Baker @ Lucky Gunner on these 6 pocket pistols, if you're interested in getting one for yourself, wife, kid, etc.:

1. Glock 42
2. Sig Sauer P238
3. Kahr CW380
4. Smith & Wesson Bodyguard
5. Ruger LCP Custom
6. Ruger LCP II

I learned my little guy is about the biggest of the bunch, which is ok by me. Anything smaller I have a hard time getting a good grip on.

Glock 42 baby!

Glock 42 all day. None of the others are really even a close second place.


That said, I ditched my G42 for a P365 and will never go back.

Interesting! I'm normally a Sig fan but did the exact opposite. I guess the 365 didn't make his list because it's not "pocket sized" just "micro sized" or something.

I carried the Sig P238 for several years now carry the S&W MjP Shield M2.0 like a lot , better grip & size in hand.

Never could find a 380 I felt good about.

I carry mine in the same Desantis Nemesis pocket holster I used for my G42. The P365 is a little heavier, but with 11 rounds of 9mm vs the 8 (I think) of .380 that's expected. And I don't even notice it now. But the G42 is a great choice as well.

My experience is the opposite of the review. Carrying Sig 238 (several) since they came out and they run like a clock. I ditched my Kahr because it was a jam-o-matic.
I mostly carry a 365 now but the 238 SAS is still a backup option.

I have the second generation LCP. It was a handful to shoot comfortably until I added a Hogue Grip Sleeve. Totally transforms the shooting experience.
