Smallest Gun Comfortable Carrying

[Sapperboomboom]

What's the smallest gun you are comfortable carrying? What about uncommon calibers for ccw such as 22lr, 25acp, and 32acp?

 

[jtj5002]

9mm with 3.5" or longer barrel.

My NAA 22 mag is ALWAYS in my r/f pocket no matter what else I'm carrying---

 

[machinedrummer]

VP9SK or Glock 19

 

[340six]

PPK/S

 

[joe504glock]

Used to use a Glock 43 as my minimum, increased to a shield plus. Still usually carry a gen 3 19

 

[Cheesy Lasagna]

Ruger LCP .380.
Fits in my Camelback pocket when I’m cycling and my front pocket when I’m not.
Otherwise I usually carry a P365.

How do you feel about the 365 as a pocket pistol compared to the lcp? Do you ever pocket carry the lcp, as in on your person?

How do you like the NAA?

 

[Big H]

Love it for what I use it for which is usually secondary carry---been doing this for over 15 years---I hardly even know it's
there because of size and weight---works for me.

While anything is better than nothing, my preference is a 9mm, or .38 special. I mostly carry a Sig Legion P938. Very comfortable and reliable. If a revolver, which i do carry if driving a lot, a S&W 15 w 2" barrel. Carry that cross-draw and you hardly know it's there while driving.

 

[BOSS351]

Body Guard .380 or LCP Max or Taurus GX4 all depending on what I plan on wearing. And pocket carry all of the.

I prefer the 365 because of larger caliber and higher capacity. I do pocket carry the LCP on occasion but very rarely. Usually just before, after or during cycling. It really is just my cycling pistol. I do train with it frequently; usually 50-100 rounds when training with my other carry guns. I shoot better with the 365 but am proficient with the LCP out to 20 yards. Cannot really ask more out of it. Overall I’m very satisfied with it. Hopefully this answers your questions.

Also, I never pocket carry the 365. IWB 4:00. Not a big pocket carry fan but each person is different.

I'm not either, but I can see situations where it would be convenient.

 

[RussnAttitude]

Glock 29 in a kydex/leather hybrid holster with "combat cut". Really comfy, and I get full size power in a compact package

 

[Jstudz220]

I’ve been carrying a Glock 17 appendix for the past 3 years or so now. I just don’t see the point of carrying such a tiny gun when I can comfortably carry a full sized one. The smallest I’ve ever carried was a G30s.

I'm usually carrying a 1911 in 9mm, I know, blasphemy. That said, many people have been killed by those uncommon calibers, including Huey Long who died after being shot with a .32acp.

I'll be the first to admit that they aren't ideal, but small calibers have been proven to work.

Currently trying to transition from a g27/43x to a g19mos.

As for caliber, it depends on the plateform. Id wouldnt be 100% against rim fire but it would have to be in a revolver in case a round is a dud.
