      The seecamp smaller than the lcp. it's weighs more because it an all metal gun. But You will forget you have it in you pocket. Even though it's ammo sensitive I think is my favorite pocket gun that I own. It really is the smallest pocket pistol. Go to the seecamp forum. There are a lot of people that like the little gun.

          I have a Glock 23 on my permit but it always got left at home because it was too much hassle. I picked up a Kahr CM9 that came with a pocket holster; I just slip it into my pocket and go. Definitely better to have a small gun with you than a large, powerful gun at home.

            I can't think of a carry situation that I can't make a pm9 work so no...I don't understand a need for micro sized pocket .32's. Certainly nothing less than an lcp.

              It's a personal choice of what caliber you want to carry. And yes with 110 degree weather with shorts and a t-shirt it is hard to hide a pm9 for me. And not everyone wants to carry a large caliber pistol.

                I've been making a g26 work in shorts and a t shirt for over 2 years. Just don't wear those thin fabric stylish tees from utban outfitters!

                  Some people don't want to change what they wear. I don't that why I carry my seecamp and my lcp. I also like pocket carry because of the kind of work I do.
                  I have bigger guns but I choose to carry pocket guns.

                    I have the NAA Guardian in 32 ACP. Fine quality, always goes "bang" for me. It's very small, so small that my trigger finger touches the heel of my hand when I'm completing the pull.

                    The trigger pull is smooth and even. I prefer the button mag release over the Seecamp version.

                    The gun is a bit heavy for its size, although it is pretty thin & flat. If NAA came out with an alloy framed version I'd buy one. The gun works well with an IWB holster and being so small doesn't pinch anywhere if you happen to sit while wearing it.

                    I bought aftermarket wood grips for the NAA, but they're far too wide and switched back to factory.

                      Ever watched pocketguns and gear blog videos showing difference between 9mm and the mousegun calibers? Its not pretty. That .32acp is gong to be awfully underpowered against a 250lb dude with a lot of muscle.

                        The best advantage to 32ACP is the super style points you gain for carrying something cool like a Colt 1903 or Remington 51 or Savage 1907. All are great guns.



                        From a practical point of view, you can't make much of an argument for 32ACP unless you need a really small hideout gun. There are plenty of modern and small 380 and 9mm guns, that provide much better firepower in a comparable package.

                          If you say you want a .22, someone says get a .25.
                          If you want a .25, someone says get a .32.
                          If you want a .32, someone says get a .380.
                          If you want a .380, someone says get a 9mm.
                          If you want a 9mm, someone says get a .40.
                          If you want a .40, someone says get a .45.
                          If you want a .45, someone says get a 10mm.
                          And so and so on...
                          If you like the gun and can live with the caliber, get it.
                          One of the guys on CG works for the Medical Examiner. I forget his screen name. He claims he sees plenty of people dead from .22, .25, and .380.
                          'A hit with a .22 is better than a miss with a .45'.
                          Whatever you choose, plenty of people will tell you why your caliber is all wrong.
                          This is coming from the owner of a Bersa .380 and a Dan Wesson .45 and a GP100 .357 mag and a Mossberg 12 ga. I can hit my target well enough with all of them. When I travel by car, .380 all the way.

                            I have no problem carrying my Sig p238 in gym shorts, jeans, even skinny jeans (slight bulge)..

                            My sig p938 is barely larger (I think .5 inch in the barrel and 2 oz heavier) but its just large enough that I start to notice it in my pocket... A lot of the time I forget my sig p238 is even in my pocket.. I ve gotten so comfortable with it I carry it cocked and locked (in a pocket holster).. I use to be afraid to do that..

                              I have a Beretta 32acp Tomcat. It's not fun to shoot at the range, but if you need a pocket gun that isn't going to show, it's perfect. It conceals very well.

                                I too have a Beretta Tomcat. I've owned it since 2005, Beretta replaced it in 2012 due to the slide cracking. (which BTW does not affect the functionality of the gun) it's an awesome gun. Iv'e never had a FTE or FTF even with a promag 10 round mag. It's a blast to shoot especially in single-action. I carry it with slacks, shorts, in the waistband (thanks to ClipDraw), in a back pocket as a B.U.G., or in a jacket pocket. The thing is a little beefy, but mine always works. At best, the round will penetrate the skull within realistic ranges (3-7 feet), at worst it'll explode on impact with the skull and blow off the bad guys cheek, nose, or lips. Shot placement counts so practice. I practice drawing from concealment, I then point towards the head or neck and fire off 3-4 rounds. At realistic ranges it's accurate in double action (14lb trigger). At extended ranges it's worth it to cock the hammer into single action (4lb trigger). I successfully place 5 rounds in the 9 box on a silhouette target at 25 yards every year to qualify it for carry
