9mm Pocket Pistols

[R L Suehr]

Well the Mak, and most of its Eastern Block counterparts are not small enough to be pocket pistols. Don't you know people now want the latest plastic fantastic, and not tried, and true military pistols for carry? Come on, join this century! For the record my current carry is a surplus Polish P-83 or Bulgarian Makarov IWB appendix carry, and the both disappear.

I just got a cz 82, that I might throw into the carry rotation eventually. I haven't got it to the range yet, but size wise it seems like it would work well. I really like the trigger just from playing around with it. It definitely won't fit in any pockets of the clothes I have though.

I never have found a 9 that I would consider a true pocket gun for me. I have a Beretta jetfire and an lcp that take that duty. I think the best options for a pocketable 9 would be the Kahr cm/pm or the Glock 43 from a size stand point. If he wants something similar a j-frame size revolver takes up about the same real estate as well.

Well it turns out he went to Trop and rented a Glock 26. Enjoyed it and bought a used one. He plans to carry SOB. I'm trying to find him a holster for it now.

I don't know if he wants IWB or OWB so I'm looking at both options.

CM9 is the most pocketable but the LC9s is my favorite.
