ISO a new pocket carry
Looking to crowd source some opinions on a new pistol for EDC pocket carry to replace my older LCP. I'll check out the new LCPs, but curious what else is out there.
Right now I carry a Glock 43 IWB at 4-O'Clock, but would like to switch to front-right pocket carry for various reasons. The G43 is too big for me to comfortably pocket carry 100% of the time. While it fits well in baggier pants with deep pockets, it prints too much when I'm wearing my "nice" clothes.
Open to any caliber and manufacturer.
I intend to use a holster with some structure (not just a trigger guard) to minimize printing.
Prioritizing concealment over capacity.
Who here pocket carries and has any recommendations?

P365 would best blend of size and capability. If you're looking for smaller, there's the new Ruger LCP Max which you alluded to or the LCP II which is yet smaller but still an improvement over your first gen LCP.
And then of course a J-frame revolver.

I carry an LCP but I'm interested in a Kahr CW380 as an alternative. LCPs are tough to shoot accurately.
Galations 6:9...And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Taurus GX4 is my current favorite. Accurate, reliable and inexpensive.
Don’t like me ???? Tough, I don’t give a flying f@@k about ya.

Hi Point. It never runs out of deterrence. When empty, throw it. Second advantage...when pocket carried, it converts any style pants to baggy.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Sig P-238 For us the best combination of size/weight/shoot ability. The only downside for us was the cost, pricey little devils.

Sig P-938 doesn't really seem to get a lot of love online, but I like mine.
Small, decent quality, concealable, 1911 ish (can carry Condition 1 if desired), easy enough for me to operate with diminished hand strength.
Some are put off by the low ammo capacity, but if I ever actually need to use it I doubt if spray & pray will be appropriate.
Like Phill mentioned, Sigs aren't inexpensive.
