The problem is that the 9x18 guns are not much smaller than full power 9x19 pistols. The ammo selection sucks when it comes to good protection ammo. The guns themselves have shitty triggers and crap sights. Not a good defensive weapon.

Guys. I went to the club last night with my 642 in my front pocket. I was alllll over the ladies. Some of them brushed their hand against it but they probably thought it was a wallet.
At least one was very impressed....apparently she thought I was happy to see her ;)
Very happy after last night. Won't work for board shorts but its definitely suiting my needs.
I've been thinking about getting a pocket carry gun. Has anyone had any experience with one of the Federal 327 revolvers that hold 6 rounds in the cylinder?
I don't like the LCP because it's a handful. However I saw one of those wallets that allow carrying and shooting from within the wallet holster. Theoretically, sounds good. One step is eliminated. I don't know the practicality.
I pocket carry a P238. Very easy to carry. Easy to shoot. Minimal recoil. Accurate to 15 yards so far. I didn't try 25 yards but I usually hit to 25 yards with all of the other guns I have without an issue.

My daily carry gun is a 638-3, loaded with Buffalo Bore 158gr +p soft lead wad cutter hollow points. Its really easy to conceal, and with the BB ammo, its a very capable defensive round.

Check out the Ruger LC-9.
Careful on those wallets from which one can shoot. If the weapon is completely enclosed/concealed other than the trigger hole you may be venturing into NFA territory (AOW). Supposedly, if the top is exposed it may not fall into that category (hearsay, as I have n o direct knowledge, nor have I seen a BATF approval letter).
