Yes… BUT
Don’t let that keep you from carrying something. Or keep carrying a gun you don’t shoot well.
The PM9 is a nice sized gun, but I didn’t shoot it very well. A snub revolver fits well in a front pocket, but I don’t see myself having the time to train enough with it.
The Shield I shoot well, though it is larger than pocket sized to many. If I had to pocket carry (I don’t) then I would consider other smaller 9mm guns first, then training with a revolver or a smaller caliber second.
If you stand up to pee a .38 or .357 j-frame revolver or a 9mm semi like a shield, 365, g43 will work.
If you sit down to pee a .380 or smaller is for you.

I've had a very positive experience with the Keltec P32. It's reliable with FMJ (don't let anyone tell you .32 HPs are acceptable; they are NOT), and it's very comfortable to shoot. The P380/LCP hurts to shoot, so I would not recommend it. If you're not comfortable with .32 ACP, probably step it up to the G43.
I use the P32 with the side clip. I clip it onto my waistband when wearing gym shorts, when I can't conceal anything bigger. The loaded weight is just light enough to be comfortable carried that way, with nothing but the drawstring on gym shorts holding it up. Anything heavier (like the P380) and it's going to be too uncomfortable.
It's also surprisingly shootable. Even though it has nonexistent sights I can still make pretty good aimed hits with it. I painted the front sight white, and that helped a lot.
Although you kid, .380 and down are truly pathetic cartridges. I'm sure some putz can cite a rare example of 380/32acp being lethal, but man.... people are setting themselves up for a bad day carrying a weapons that weak.
Agreed. Probably better off with a strong pepper spray.

Oh man my wife, who also used to chase terrorist would bounce off the ways if I told her that. Her carry gun is a cZ P07 full house Cajun gunworks.
We were at a social setting and an other guest a male who new nothing of our backgrounds, said something stupid about gunfighting . My wife replied that she hoped nobody was taking him serious because what he just said would get you killed in a gun fight. He got all pissy and wanted to argue our hostess, a friend from back in the day in Israel walked over and asked the guy how many gun fights have you been in ? He replied none . She then turned to my wife and using her nickname from back in the day "little lamb how many gun fights have you been in"? My wife replied are you asking gun fights with bullets going both ways or just how many terrorist I have killed? The hostess then turned back to the guy and told him if either one of them gives you any advice on gun, fighting , terrorism or war, pay attention.
The guy was silent for the rest of the night.
