My gorgeous Italian bride is a 32. I figure if it was good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for me.

I have not read this entire thread but I occasionally put a S&W 22 mag J frame in my pocket.

During the summer months, I was packing a Makarov in 9x18mm. Now with the colder weather, I've either got my CZ70 in .32acp and/or a Kel-Tec P-32 .32acp in my coat pocket.

You mean to tell me you don't have a single box of premium self defense ammo you can load into your 9mm or larger pistol for SD and that is the reason you are carrying a 32!? Sorry this makes no sense to me. I have target ammo I use for the range and premium JHP ammo that I load in my pistols for SD. I shoot some SD ammo to test it out in my pistol(s) otherwise its kept for its intended purpose (self defense).

And to answer your post - 'no' I don't carry anything smaller than a 9mm and even that's a little anemic for my taste.

I haven't often found a situation where my j frame isn't "just right"

What do you guys do with the mice after you shoot them?

When my wife makes me dress up, I carry a .380. Otherwise I carry one of the following: 7.62X25, .38 Super. 40 S&W, 10MM or .45 ACP as the primary. The backup is a .22, .32, .32 Long, or .380.

I carried a Kahr 380 every day for four years or so, and still will have it as a pocket gun on occasions I'm wearing khakis or something else that will print with a bigger gun.

I carry a Remington RM380, closest I have to a mouse gun, occasionally when I am very concerned about having no chance of printing. But usually I am not concerned so I carry something larger.
