    Default 9MM Pocket Pistols

    Currently carry a Ruger LCP in 380 ACP. Would like to upgrade to 9MM. Looking for recommendations on 9 MM Pocket pistols

    What I would call true pocket pistols are not super common in 9mm. You're starting to get into subcompact/ compact territory with most of them. But S&W Shield, Ruger LC9/EC9/Max 9, about a billion flavors of Glock (I lose track but think the 26, 43, 48 are the more compact ones?), and a couple Springfield Xds thrown in for good measure is would be where I'd be looking.

    The LC9/EC9 arent much bigger than an LCP but capacity lags some others too, if that matters.

    I'd probably go Shield or Glock personally, from what I've seen.

    I happily carry my sig p365 in my pocket, carrying it in my basketball shorts current in a wallet style holster.

    My everyday carry is a full size ruger 57, and my pocket carry is a sccy cpx2 in 9mm.

    Do you have deep pockets? Ha, not for the price necessarily, but for the practicality. By this, I mean to accommodate the Glock G43. It's slightly bigger than a true pocket pistol, but works fine for me. Again, you have to have pants or shorts which have a reasonably roomy pocket size and most mass market men's clothes do. It's a Glock, it's 9mm, it fits in your pocket. Done!

    I say go for a Shield plus, but it's not exactly a pocket gun.

    I would NOT recommend a Kel-tec PF9. Absolute trash gun.

    I have the Sig p938. I like having an all metal frame and hammer gun.

    I have no ass and large muscular thighs. My P365 would weigh my pants down when standing or walking, and dig into my leg when sitting. My P938 does the same. I tried to pocket carry my PF9 and that was easier because it was lighter, but still too low capacity for my liking.
