Name Some Pocket Guns! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I wear a size 32 waist 30 length pair of semi baggy jeans. What guns would fit in the pockets without looking like I'm carrying something? I want the biggest caliber/capacity possible while fitting the pocket concealed. Manual Safety a plus.

Kahr MK/PM9/40(one of the smallest), KelTec P32/P3AT, Browning Baby .25, Rohrbaugh R9/R9S(One of the smallest/slim), AMT backup series, XDSC9/40/357(higher capacity than the others, Kind of fat), S&W Jframe series 38/357

Any more?

Regardless of what you carry in baggy pants, you
still have to retrieve the firearm from it's hideaway.
That means a holster. It will keep the firearm in an
upright position to make ready when it is needed.
Without it, you do not stand a chance of beating
your opponent.

One will argue that they can have their hand on the
firearm for about anything that may come up in which
there is a need for withdrawal of the firearm when wearing
such baggie pants. I disagree with that thought process.
It just does not work in the real world without planning
and a good retention of the firearm until needed. Needless
to say, mucho practice is needed, unloaded weapon of course.

I meant to add, I prefer a J-Frame S & W in a High Noon Pocket
Grabber.

I've been looking at the Bersa 380. I'm also in the market for a pocket carry weapon.

If you guys are going to get one make it nice and powerful. J frames from S&W or the Kahr MK/PM-9/40 series are really go I have a PM40 that is very accurate at 30 feet.

If you want a manual safety then you could look for an old Colt Mustang .380, I love mine, it's just a little bigger than a P3AT but it's pretty heavy, they also made a Mustang lite with an aluminum frame.

forget the gun and buy yourself a damn sandwich!

P3AT looks to be a nice fit. Very light which means I'd be more likely to carry every day. The PF9 would be real interesting when that comes out as well.

+1 on the Kahr series.

you might also look into some of the S&W scandium or Airweight series. The profile's a little bigger but the weight is very little.
