DevsAdvocate 112 Posted April 3, 2015 Got one more P2P to burn.... 90 days are up by April 20th, and I'll extend to 180 if need be... kinda looking at something along the lines of a pocket pistol. Requirements: 1. Shall use a caliber I already stock (9mm, 38spc/357 mag) 2. Pocket sized and/or easily concealable 3. Relatively affordable One thing which caught my eye: 9mm Ruger LCR. Anyone try this thing yet? If not, how about the Ruger LC9? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted April 3, 2015 those requirements are no fun. I'm not playing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted April 3, 2015 IMHO I don't like the Ruger, to many parts Your best affordable option is Kahr for a pocket pistol. It's the pistol GLOCK should have made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevsAdvocate 112 Posted April 3, 2015 Kahr PM9? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted April 3, 2015 Kahr PM9? Yep that or the one that's a little cheaper but the same size. If you want to shoot mine you're welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted April 3, 2015 CZ 75b compact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budasac 13 Posted April 3, 2015 CZ 75b compact.+1. I have a full size 75b but have been eyeing a used compact model at the LGS. You can't go wrong with a CZ, great guns. Coincidently, my permit expires on the 20th as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueLineFish 615 Posted April 5, 2015 I have the ruger lcr 9mm. Nice little gun. I was shooting 147gr +p duty 9mm out of it. Recoil isn't too bad. If you are interested i have a compact p250 in 9mm that comes with the subcompact conversion kit. I liked that gun a lot just got a 26 for mag compatability with my duty 19. Would let it go for a decent price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuRrEaLNJ 294 Posted April 6, 2015 Blf, You realize April fools has passed right? I don't curently have a pocket pistol in the stable, but the last time I toyed with trying ones out the small sigs impressed me the most. I'm a fan of the XD series, but the xds isn't that much smaller then my XDM to warent picking up another Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted April 6, 2015 XDm compact 3.8 in 9mm. 3.8" barrel, it's only 4.75" high, and has 13+1 capacity. The other pistol on my list is a Walther PPS. That's more of a pocket gun. It's very slim. Only 6 round capacity though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted April 6, 2015 I carried my p250 subcompact a lot off duty when i first got on. Weren't many dao 9mm sc choices back then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevsAdvocate 112 Posted April 6, 2015 1. Kahr PM9 or Walther CCP look interesting. I'll see if I can shoot Old School's and if RTSP has a Walther 2. CZ makes great pistols, but I'm not too interested in DA/SA guns in general. 3. Someone mentioned SIG pocket pistols... are they any good? 4. What about 9mm CCW revolvers? Any good ones there?

Underdog 1,593 Posted April 6, 2015 I second the M&P Shield, however, it isn't really a pocket gun. Another thought would be the budget-friendly Kahr CM9 or a Ruger LCR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djg0770 481 Posted April 7, 2015 Advice on the Ruger LC9 from an owner of one - Don't buy it. If you want to consider a Ruger product, consider the LC9S, the striker version. I understand the trigger is much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonian 453 Posted April 7, 2015 If you live in NJ with no planned escape why are you worried about concealability? I made that mistake a few years ago. Got a Sit p238. Hated the gun, hated the round, sold it. Kicked like a mule. I can't imagine women carrying something like that. In 357 you should consider a Ruger SP 101. Fantastic gun, but just 5 rounds. I know, you plan on getting into a bunch of gunfights and that's not enough capacity. Also shoots .38 specials which is a nice round. Or if you'd like to save money on the gun and would ***possibly*** consider a new caliber, buy a Makarov or related gun in the 9x18 caliber. If you look you can get one that's practically new for $300-500. They are heavy guns however. Ammo is cheap. They are 100% error-free, fun to shoot, and in my hands amazingly accurate.

PD2K 115 Posted April 7, 2015 If you live in NJ with no planned escape why are you worried about concealability?... That's exactly the reason why I have no interest in buying a single stack/pocket pistol. What's the use when living in NJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
