Been thinking about grabbing a pocket pistol. Gun shop near me has Taurus 738. Anyone have experience with them? I'd love to grab a Beretta Pico but heard they are shit. The others I was looking at was a SKYY CPX2 or whatever it's called or a Ruger LC9 or LCR
A friend recently got a TCP and we tried it out. It's so awkward and snappy that it would be really difficult to get quick follow-up shots if you needed to use it in self-defense. One-handed is the least painful way to shoot it. With any pocket automatic pistol you're going to run into reliability problems due to the size. Even the Glock 42 and 43 need to have a few hundred rounds put through them before they loosen up.
I am not a revolver guy but I love my LCR. It's a little bulkier than other .38's on the market but it is a lot more comfortable to shoot (not to mention more accurate.) For concealed carry one of the other advantages of a revolver is it can be used while hidden inside a bag or jacket pocket. For pocket carry/back up gun use I'd go with the LCR.
Not on here much anymore. I'm either out on 2 wheels or trying to kill something.
