Anyone know of a 9mm pistol that can truly be carried in a pocket with a holster in normal clothes (not cargo pants or MC Hammer pants)?

Some reviews say that Kahr CM/PM 9 can be pocketed easily, anyone carry one in their pocket?

The Beretta Nano 9mm fits well in a pocket.


It is what it is.

Even in khakis (have to wear business casual at work)? I have been carrying an LCP for the last 6 years in pocket but wanting to upgrade.

Rohrbaugh is probably the smallest but it's slightly north of a thousand. The Karh PM9 and CM9 may be next on the list. The Kahrs are too big for pocket carry for me. My Kahr P-380 is about as large as I want to carry in a normal pocket.

I have a XDS 45. My favorite way to carry it is in a cheap Uncle Mike's inside the wasteband holser in my front pocket.

Yea,no way I'm going to keep a cocked and locked one safety single action in my pocket.

You might say a striker fired pistol doesn't even have the safety. That may be so but you have a long trigger that is safer IMHO. If you have a hard to pull trigger on the pocket single action to negate the safety aspect,you also negate any advantage the single action offers. IMHO the only reason to suffer a cocked and locked single action is the short light trigger.

i CARRY my Sig locked and loaded. I have the same concern as you. What I do to over come it is with the correct holster. I find one that fits the gun and has a pouch over the slide for extra mag. Then I look at the thumb strap I want that strap to fit tightly between the hammer (cocked) and the firing pin area. This way even of the hammer drops it will pinch the strap. I also want a hoster that covers the trigger.

That sounds like good protection. I just wouldn't be comfortable with one in a regular pocket holster. I would love that little single action 9mm if they would add a grip safety and give it a decent 3-4 lb trigger. I would likely carry it in a IWB holster but it would make a good carry gun.

Doesn't Diamondback make a pretty small 9mm? It's like a mini Glock.

Is the diamondback small enough to pocket carry?

I used to carry a Kahr CM 9 in my pocket. After a while I got tired of it, because to me it was just too big to be carried in a pocket.

Around 1/4" longer than 'Huntress's .380, and she pocket carries it...

I personally find the G43 a bit too big for pocket carry.
