I still think I'd rather have a gun without a safety, but I'll cheerfully give it another try.

Re: In my quest for a pocket pistol, I have questions...
I agree. I have about 1200 rounds in my LC9 shooting the cheapest shells that Academy carries. One of the pluses with this gun if looking for pocket carry is it's tapered and low profile design. This gun slides in and out of my IWB and pockets without ever catching. A little practice with the thumb safety and muscle memory takes over. This gun replaced my favorite S&W 642 Hammerless Airweight.Geaux_loaded wrote:I'd give the LC9 a second look, maybe try one with a working firing pin. I've had mine for a month and put 800 rounds down range without a single malfunction. some 12gr blaser, 115 gr speer lawman, WWB, and 200 double tap 124gr +p JHPs. I agree with most reviewers that the trigger pull is far too long, but the weight isn't bad. Also the little bit of grittiness went away after a few hundred rounds. The slide safety is easy to switch off with your right thumb, but hard to re engage (which seems to me like it wouldn't come back on in my pocket holster, but I make a point of practicing turning it off during my draw.)
That said the P938 is a sweet looking and nice shooting gun. If it wasn't twice as much as the LC9 odds are I'd have one in my pocket as I'm typing this.
And to the op, a pocket carry will entail a smaller capacity mag. Good luck on your quest.
