Pocket pistols under $300

I own and carry an LCP. I would disagree that it disappears in a pocket. I find it quite conspicuous. It does conceal well on an ankle, and makes a nice back up gun.

I guess that would all depend on the clothes you wear. For "me", kahki, cargo pants and even dress pants it disappears in my front pocket. If you wear tight fitting pants or jeans it's gonna look like you have a wallet in your front pocket.

Not bad. It's the size I have in mind. How does it shoot? I had a PPK in 380 and it would zing you pretty good, especially the trigger finger. It was also impossibly stiff to rack the slide. Useless for wifey.

How does the P3AT shoot? It's OK. Snappy because it's light. Not as enjoyable to shoot as the Colt Pony, but the concealability is hard to beat.
Everyone has their own needs - I like thin and light for IWB.

I have to go with the Guardian. It's clearly a Seecamp clone for about $100 less. The next gun show is two months away so I have to look for it locally.

My Kahr P380 with a Recluse holster disappears into any pants pocket.

Hmm. Another Colt Pony fan. Me too. But I switched to a Keltec P32 (thinner than the P3AT or the LCP) for summer and got an LCP Custom (the red trigger jobbie) for winter pocket carry.

I had the P32 before the P3AT even existed. (otherwise I would have just gotten the 380 instead of the 32)
I'd just about need a micrometer to tell the difference between the two.
Either are great for IWB carry. A nylon Gunmate holster adds minimal weight/bulk.
I stopped carrying the Colt IWB cuz my pants are too tight. LOL.
It carries well in a Galco Ankle Glove though.
