Conceal carry pistol

Post by Biggjimm »

Looking to but a new pocket pistol. Can not decide between Kimber .380, Beretta Pico or Colt Mustang pocketlite. Any info on these pistols would be helpful.

I'd take a look at the Glock 43

Don't know a whole lot about the ones you are listing, but I have a friend with a Sig 238 that just loves his. His wife like it so well she now has to have one as well.

You're in good company. Was at the George R Brown gun show yesterday where it was difficult to get anywhere close to tables of the high-volume pistol dealers.

Why a 380?

Here are videos on 2 of 3 you were looking at:

I would suggest the Sig938. Essentially same size as 238 except 9mm instead of 380. I also carry an M&P Shield in my pocket but usually wear pants or shorts with large enough pockets. You can almost buy 2 Shields for the price of the Sig. Goes without saying to always use a pocket holster.

:iagree: or the 42, if something a little smaller is needed.

Thanks Rino, it was 3 pistols I couldn't decide between now it's 4 pistols. :banghead: But I did see the videos airboss sent me and a video on the p938. All nice pistols. I'm gonna have to go rent and shoot them to decide. Thanks for the info. Keep it coming.

I HIGHLY recommend trying and shooting before you buy. That is part of the reason I have so many pistols. Keep finding something I like better! Of course, I love all my children and still have them all. (Well, I did sell a couple)

Allow me to throw one more into the mix... the Sig P290RS. Roughly the same size as the P938, but is DAO vs single action. And at a lower price point too. Won't win any beauty pistol pageants, but I really like mine.

If you want to carry a real gun take a look at the Glock26, run it with the G19 mag 15+1 :fire

Glock 42. I have one for those days you just want a little something in your pocket or just can't dress around the bigger Glock.
