Right now, my pocket gun is a Ruger LCP. I've had good experience with it, and no feeding issues with it at all. It is considerably more accurate for me with a finger extension on the magazine. It is, however, only useful at close ranges. Yes, there has been a recall, although I've not heard one story of a failure in connection with a gun because of the recalled parts. While the fit & finish is quite good with these guns, they are unfortunately not made of stainless steel (barrel or slide). I found this out the hard way by carrying mine in a holster shirt for a few days while doing outdoor work in the summer time. I did get the rust out (only surface rust), and now know to clean and oil it daily if I'm going to be carrying where I may expose it to sweat. It is very comfortale for pocket carry. I keep mine in either a holster shirt or my front right pocket (in a pocket holster), and can forget it's there. They go for about $300 these days.

I've heard good buzz recently about the Sig P238. Rather than polymer DAO gun like the LCP, it's got an aluminum frame, is single action (cocked and locked!), and has sights that you can actually see (and night sights!). I've not shot one myself yet, but I'm very interested in it. Accuracy is said to be good (a VERY good trait in a pocket gun), and it's got a lot of nice features like a beavertail frame. Street price looks to be about $450 or so.

Another pocket gun I'm interested in is the Ruger LCR. A very compact snub-nose 5-shot .38+P revolver, just recently released. It is quite light, using polymer in the grip area, it has gotten good reviews so far. They run around $500.
