Those are outstanding backups as well. Lot of firepower in that little snubby. Taurus made a pretty decent one in the 90’s with a Hogue rubber boot grip from the factory, but the Smith would be my first choice.
What's your goto palm-sized pocket pistol?

G43 in kydex Vedder Pocket Locker, all day long. Used to carry a Kel-Tec PF-9 in a soft pocket holster as well, and have carried a G26, 9mm has quite a few pocketable options. Just depends on how your clothes fit as to what you can pocket carry. I can't (and wouldn't anyway) do skinny jeans, and summer is mostly cargo shorts that are pretty roomy.

My S&W “J-frame” model 60 (no dash), 2”. I bought it new in 1985. Stainless, .38 Special, +P, no lock, original style with Hogue black mono grip. Usually loaded with alternating Hornady Critical Defense +P (FTX) and Underwood Xtreme Defender +P (fluted).
The hammer is NOT bobbed — in single action the trigger is ‘Goldilocks’—“just right”! I like having the option of single action if needed. It’s important to practice getting it out of your pocket (or whatever) without snagging.
It works no matter what. It’s virtually maintenance free. There’s not much to go wrong.

lol. Yeah, I think I've gotten spoiled by how small the LCP is. It's the only one I carry when I'm out doing yardwork, usually in loosely waisted gym shorts, so even most sub-compacts are either too big or too heavy.
The Kel-Tec is a sweet pocket gun, but it's not 9mm, which is what I was hoping to find. I'll def check out the Sig 365 (I've got their 320 and love it). I see the 365 has an SAS version without snaggy corners, so that might be my ticket here.
Thanks for the suggestions!

My palm pistol is my Glock 42. I've tried most of the subcompacts (including the new Shield Plus and the Ruger Max-9), and they're good ... but the Glock 42 still has the edge on ergonomics, concealability, and accuracy for me.
And I know that the 9mm cartridge generally outperforms the .380 ACP, but I've also been practicing with the Glock 42 for years now. That means a lot to me.
I've never been a fan of the Sig P365, but I know a lot of people are. The ergonomics just don't work for me.

Seecamp 32. It is quite literally palm-sized.
it is not really a palm sized, but a Kahr P9 is my subcompact choice for concealability. they also make smaller versions in the 9mm cartridge. anything smaller to me just seems to be too ergonomically challenging for a stressful situation.
Palm Sized?
There's a joke in there somewhere about brandishing, but I'm too lazy....
I like this idea, but would it weigh considerably more than a P365?
Yup ..
