Title says it all.

I was thinking either a Kel-Tec 380 or a Bersa Thunder 380

Opinions?

Ruger LCP>Kel-Tec or Bersa

12/11/2009 10:10:56 PM

S&W airweight

the bersa thunder 380 is fairly bulky for pocket carry... unless you have fairly large pockets and your pants aren't tight. it's fine for pocket carry in a loose jacket. also, it's most certainly not a high quality piece. I have one that I CC, it's good enough for a budget purchase, but not a very fun gun to shoot, IMHO.

I say if you want to pocket carry, go with LCP or Kel Tec. I have an KT, but would upgrade to an LCP in a second, given the chance. I have an airweight S&W, (637) and I don't understand how so ,many people praise them for pocket carry. They are too long, or my pockets too shallow, because the butt is almost always poking out of my pockets. It feels bulky, and prints pretty bad too, even with a proper pocket holster. Slip the Kel Tec in my pocket with a slim leather holster,and I can forget it is there. I also hear people talking about pocket carrying a Kahr PM9, and I cant imagine doing that with mine. Maybe a large coat pocket.

adam, i can agree with your statement about pocket carrying a revolver.

the lcp's are small, but they are so un-fun to shoot that i have passed on them.

the trigger travel takes some getting used to.

How is that much different or better than loosely carrying the gun in your pocket?

12/12/2009 5:46:42 PM

Because many people feel that carrying something that has the LONG DA-trigger pull of a revolver doesn't need trigger protection. That's why you can find so many clips for carrying KTs & revolvers inside the waistband or pocket.

^^ If you're asking me about ^^^, it's a wallet holster. (1) It rides better in your pocket (like a wallet); (2) it offers some additional trigger protection; and (3) it looks like a wallet--some thug asks you for your wallet and you pull a Denny Crane on him.

12/12/2009 6:18:11 PM

I'd imagine that it also reduces outlining of the firearm...

12/12/2009 6:22:30 PM

^ True--it looks like a wallet.

12/12/2009 6:27:00 PM

just remember, that wallet pictured is a NFA item, requiring a $5 tax stamp.

12/13/2009 10:34:13 AM

^Correct. It changes the way it is held, and makes it more accurate. It is classified as an AOW if you have it in that wallet 'holster' where you can still operate the trigger.

I really like the LCP for a concealed semi-auto, but I also like J-Frame revolvers (I carry a S&W 642 and I also really like the Ruger LCR)

the keltec's aren't bad either- they are just hard for me to hold onto when I'm shooting them. But then again, I have a similar problem with the LCP, but my friend put a thicker grip on it, so it isn't as bad

it's all a matter of preference, and whatever you get, you should test fire it, because the small guns are hard to control (not really fun to go shooting with).

12/13/2009 11:22:53 AM

The fact that it's a wallet holster makes much more sense to me. I thought it was supposed to be a front-pocket holster at first and imagined that it would hinder drawing the gun (extra bulk to clear the pocket) with it on. Since it's a wallet holster, I see how it does everything you say, and the reason for the lack of substantial trigger projection.

12/13/2009 11:46:09 AM

This would be a real wallet holster, that isn't a NFA item that requires an extra tax and headache.
Granted a baby glock isn't the best choice for pocket carry, I can drop this in a cargo pocket with no problems.
