Thanks folks!
I think I am going to look in to the Ruger LC380 and Kahr P380. Might look at the LC9 if I feel like a 9MM makes more sense.
(and thanks for the advice and additional information)

Thanks for that; for all everyone knows - it could be a cell phone; which is what I am looking for.

Thanks again everyone!

I ain't got one, and don't know if I will ... but, I got no reason to believe a P938'd look a whole lot different!

It obviously comes down to a comfort level! ... if yer new to carrying, and/or carrying in more sensitive areas ... and/or yer not wearin the best clothes fer it ... ya'd probly be more interested in a P3-AT in yer sock, than much else!

Fer myself, fer such situations, I'm far more concerned with peeking! ... if fer whatever reason, I gotta reach fer somethin, and I absolutely cannot afford fer someone to actually get a glimpse of so much as the butt of my pistol peekin out, it's goin in my pocket! That said, I can actually hit somethin at 25yd with it! ... moreover, I'm confident with it! ... and it ain't gonna fall out! ... and without diggin into my pockets, no one's ever gonna know (fer sure, er even otherwise) it's there!

YMMV

+1 on the LCP for pocket carry.

You must've picked one of these up awhile ago?

Carried a j frame a lot, but it was in cargo pants which have a bigger pocket than jeans.
The 738 & LCP are good choices.
The LC380 is the same size as the LC9, not the LCP.

I pocket carried a J-frame for years, but I am larger than your average guy so It's easier for me to make something like that disappear. For the last year I've been carrying a P3AT and loving it. I carry both in a simple Uncle Mike's pocket holster, it's not fancy, but it doesn't have to be and it gets the job done.

I like my diamondback 380 with CT laser, but do not like to carry in the front pocket. It does not feel safe when you sit across somebody at a table...
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

No, no, no, mesh pockets allow one to pocket carry and still open carry, you know you have to have stick to your beliefs.

I have no idea if it is limited to that. I merely pointed out he tried mine. I'm unsure why you felt the need to get snarky with me over that.

I got snarky because someone (not you) is acting like they have expirence carrying an LCP when I know they don't unless it was a back up to his back ups back ups back up.

Forget the pocket... Sig 238 with a Sneaky Pete. The way cell phones are getting so big now, no one even thinks twice that I am carrying. Works well if you have to wear a tie and tucked in shirt. ;)
