I tried a S&W Shield and a Ruger SP101, very uncomfortable and difficult to get out of the pocket. I wouldn't be able to carry in my front pocket, , , Pants right?

I have the large size.  It can fit my full size 1911 or my CZ75b no problem.  Plenty room for wallet keys and phone too.
If you are gonna sport a pocket pistol the medium would probably work great! (or the small size)

you know, for around the house.

most of those fanny packs scream "GUN!"
the law enforcement fanny pack one is the lowest profile
i have a version just like that, it may be 5.11
but it's just hanging in my closet, and may or may not have a pistol in it
so many people carry around tactical man purses now, you could carry one in those easily

talula could just keep it in his mailbag

he has to be careful if he is pocket carrying and giving people hugs

Pocket pistols are going to be various sizes, mostly dictated by the caliber you pick.

For pocket-size, I like my Glock 42 .380.  I also have a derringer revolver that's a .22LR 5-shot.  I have a leather holster for it, but I also have a hinged grip/holster I like better for the larger grip.

I have the S&W M&P shield 9mm, but can't see that being pocket carried unless it's in a jacket or vest.

From experience, the pocket size guns will be more difficult to shoot.  Small grip, usually with no room on the grip for the pinky, short barrel, muzzle flip tough to manage ...

The G42, to me at least, is a great compromise between size and ease of use.  I added a pinky extension to the mags that doesn't make the gun that much harder to conceal.  I left the extension off one mag just in case I found a situation where it needed to be smaller.  The length and overall size is slightly larger than some comparable pistols, which to me is a plus.  The larger size along with the less peppy .380 vs. 9mm makes the G42 a very good shooter for being so small.  I can land all 5 rounds in one mag on paper with an 8" target at 25 yards,  For a pistol that's designed for short-distance engagements, that's actually pretty good accuracy.

If you aren't adverse to off-body carry, Maxpedition has many products with Concealed Carry pockets and features.  You can also go to sites like the NRA store and check out the leather planner they have with a CC section that locks.

For pocket carry, flat is the key to comfortable.

The Glock 42 is a great choice due to its size and weight.

It pretty much disappears in your pocket, as long as it's in a good holster.

You can also use an. IWB holster at 4 o'clock and it's very comfortable and conceals well under a regular T-shirt.

If you choose to go that route, the Sig Sauer P290 is a phenomenal pistol for that role. Extremely accurate and fires the more potent (than .380) 9mm round.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

This is still new and no reviews yet but I'm interested in the Tarus Curve as a pocket gun.

If it really has to go in my pocket, I like the Ruger LCR in 22LR.
I only shot it once but the darn thing is so easy to shoot accurately, yet small and easy to fit anywhere.

While on the mainland, I tried my sisters CCW, a LC 9MM.
Small, light 9mm and acceptable for close quarters.

Her hubby, a larger guy likes to carry the SIG SAUER P238 .380 as it fits and draws well from his pocket holster.
 IMHO, both were fine at close range, and easy to use

LCR with Elite pocket holster looks and feels like you're carrying your wallet in your pocket.
