Recurring topic: What's the smallest caliber/gun you would carry???

[mikenewgun87]

Even it getting close to summer and WINTER IS COMING, thought I ask what would be the smallest gun/caliber you would carry???

I already carry a g19 with Surefire xc1 and trijicon rmr in summer, but from time to time I've come back from the gym soaking with with, and don't feel like putting a pants with a belt on, so I decided to get a pocket carry gun.

Something light enough to go into gym/basketball shorts or clip into the waistband without being too heavy...

Thanks in advance and look forward to the trolls!!!

.22lr. If that is all I could carry, then i would carry it.

But a .32 is the smallest I would carry if I did have options. Kel-Tec P32 is so light....

Since I see you are not in California....How bout a Kahr CW380. Light weight and the same basic gun as the P380, but less than $300.00.
Very little felt recoil. I have shot 300 rounds thru mine in about an hour. Fun to shoot.

I carry the 9MM. Just small enough for me. My carry gun is a VP9SK.

Smallest I carried was a Glock 42

I carry the 9MM. Just small enough for me. My carry gun is a VP9SK.

But I'm usually wearing shorts with not belt, and I walk/jog my dog, so I don't want to be heavy enough for me to have my shorts fall off

Not a option here in Bill Gore's San Diego County.

For my daily carry, the smallest caliber I carry is a 9mm.
S&W Shield
For around the house- pocket carry Ruger LC9

9mm and something the size of a 43 is where I draw the line and that borders too small for me.

Sig P238 in .380acp. But I am not law enforcement and live in a pretty decent area.

If I was in a bad area....I would just leave.

[Subotai]

The smallest I would carry would be .380.

[Calif Hunter]

LCP .380

380 I carry mine around at home...as i do not have my CCW.....yet work in progress, but I already have 3 guns that I want to put on it, I'm worried if I wait too much longer I'll have too many to put on the license. lol

A .380 with modern ammo provides a pretty good punch. There are lots of decent choices now.

When a pocket pistol is called for, I carry a Rohrbaugh R9 in 9mm. Definitely something to be carried a lot and shot a little.

I heard .32 acp is a decent cartridge.
