So I am currently carrying a USP Compact. It has been the sweet spot that I was looking for as far as being concealable, reliable, and something I can train with on a regular basis. However I occasionally (about 1-2 times a week) find myself in a position where in order to carry, I need to go deep concealment, and sadly the USPc just doesn’t quite cut it. So I have been looking to get something for pocket carry. What I am looking for is:
1) Something reliable
2) Something small
3) Something cheap (but not at the expense of quality)What do you guys carry? I have heard a lot of good things about the shield, and there seems to be a bit of love for J-frames. Recommendations?
Do you have a caliber preference? I did a ton of research for picking up a Kel-tec P11, but that’s likely too big for you purposes. You might look into the Kel-tec PF9 or, if you want a .380, the P3AT. Of course, the .380 is a bit more expensive, so frequent training would be a bit more financially taxing than a 9mm. Kel-tecs are certainly affordable, and tend to be reliable, especially after a quick “fluff-and-buff” and being broken in. It won’t compare to the out-of-box quality of an H&K product.
I think the Kahr CM9 fits what you are looking for. Pocket pistol in 9 mm. I paid about 380.00 You will need to dehorn it a little bit.
relative size difference between a G42 and the LCP it replaced…I can shoot the G42 much more accurately and quickly
Kahr PM9. I pocket carry one all summer long. Mozambiques from right hip pocket at 20 yards from concealment. Best long double action trigger in a pocket auto on the market today.

“…deep concealment” for me are the following:
S&W Model 340PD SC Scandium-frame, titanium cylinder .357, 11.3 ounces
Seecamp .32 or .380 (I own a .32) 11 ounces
I NEVER go “cheap” with firearms. Those are usually backup to others; particularly a 1911, Browning Hi-Power, or S&W 627-5 PC. If any of those three are not present on-body, I’m usually in confined spaces so the 340 and .32 are on me.Trave1ingEast said: ↑

Surprisingly easy to conceal in a pocket or IWB.
Add a Desantis Clip-Grip and you have one of the most versatile revolvers imaginable.
