I got mine at Tomball pawn bnib for a little over 700. That's around the price of the basic model or a p238.LDB415 wrote:I hadn't thought about Kimber. That Micro DC is really nice looking but I'm not sure about $280 more than the basic model. More to consider.

Re: Which pistol for pocket carry?
I second the shield, according to the s&w website, it's less than an in thick. I absolutely love my shield 9mm.
I like the trigger on the shield better than the the glock trigger because the glock trigger seems kinda spongy, and it has a bit of travel before it's already to engage and the shield has very little travel. That's just my opinion though.
Another one to consider for pocket carry is the kimber micro. I have one of those as well, with lasergrips.
It's much smaller than the shield, comparable in size to the p238, and is also a .380. The micro is pretty thin, even with lasergrips, the downside is that it comes with only one mag, and it's a 7 round mag that fits flush to the bottom. I have small hands and there was nowhere to put my pinky. But that was easily fixed with an extended 8 round mag.
In the end, I too would recommend a visit to your lgs and see what feel better in your hand, fits your pocket the way you want, and shoots to your liking.
