not true. my PM9 fits in my front jeans pocket in the pocket holster and prints like a wallet. maybe you need some looser fitting jeans. i suggest sticking to 9mm. YMMV.

Ruger LCP or LCR would be my choice for pocket carry. I have never shot one or even handled one though, so I can't speak about the quality of the product. I hear Ruger's have quite a lot of problems.

I know modern ammunition has come a long way and the .380 can pack a punch, but I personally wouldn't carry anything less than 9mm for personal protection. That's just me.

CW9 in any in the pants holster is easily concealable. I use a simple uncle mikes holster and the gun in not noticeable at all. Single stack 9mm, this gun is real thin and a great shooter.

Anyone tried the Taurus mil pro? I handled one at a local shop but haven't carried or fired it yet.

I did fire the Mil pro .45. I loved it, but not the price of the ammo in comparison to my other 9mm.

I'm buying the Ruger LCP on Thursday. I would prefer a 9mm also, but this will work for days when my clothing is minimal (gym, hot weather, etc) or when ankle carry is desired. I played with the LCP in the store on Sunday and wanted a few days to research it. I am convinced it will serve my needs well.

i can recomend the keltec p11 or pf9...no there not on the list but they show up evry so often on the for sale forum here, you just got to keep an eye out for a while...(just ask bigcalidave)

while the p11 has capacity the pf9 is a bit more slim and got a lighter trigger...

just remember to follow the law at all times... dont get in trouble because your not licenced...

I like my G26 and a standard G17 for a reload. I can hide my G26 pretty well.
Remember layers and don't have anything that can catch you clothes and print. I'm not a fan of pocket holsters, makes it tough to keep that finger away from the trigger.
