Trigger Mike Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I need a good pocket pistol for two applications. I was using a diamondback 380 but it seems to misfire the first round a lot. It could be the hard primers on the cheap foreign ammo, but it dents the primer but fails to fire. I need the first round to work every time. My Colt Pony double action has the magazine constantly falling out. I tried the belly band holster but it falls out when I bend over to pick up something so I thought it best to stick with a pocket gun. I want one for concealed carry in the pocket in town and for when I am in the woods in case I run up on a snake. I already killed a rattler, copper head and coral. When I am on my tractor I often run into them. My mower goes in some of the same places but hate to carry a pistol in a shoulder holster while mowing the lawn.

Jack N. Water Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well, my choice is Ruger LCP or a Bond Arms in 410/45 colt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I thought of the Ruger LCP 380. seems small enough to fit my pocket. I imagine fairly reliable. I also thought if the S & W bodyguard 380. an airweight 38 seems too bulky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 delete I was recommending S&W 642 (airweight revolver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 delete I was recommending S&W 642 (airweight revolver). It was my backup gun on duty for a good while, fit nicely in my back pocket. I may bring it back out but wanted something with a smaller profile is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I carry a Bond derringer in 45/410. only 2 shots, but if you miss, you can throw the gun at them. Its a solid chunck of stainless steel! I use a leather pocket holster. You can get a few more rounds with a 380, but give up a lot of knockdown power. Plus, if you want it for woods carry, load it with 410 for them snakes.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I carry a Kel-Tec PF9 in my pocket (in a pocket holster). Don't notice it's there. We have coyotes appear here on occasion. If you really want a very light snake gun, a Kel-Tec P32 w/a laser sight weighs about 7 ozs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ruger LC9, carries easy in pocket or IWB, light enough that a single clip holster works well with shorts or sweat pants even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'd send the Colt in for repairs. You should also try the DB with a couple of boxes of quality ammo. The cheap stuff is just for practice! If it functions consistently with good defensive ammo, keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
