I wanted a LCR and ended up trading for S&W bodyguard in 38 spcl. With a friend. Traded a 9 mm Shield.
Double action safe and disappears into side pocket of cargo shorts. Looks like my wallet or cell phone.
If I’m gonna carry I feel more confident with a hammerless double action only revolver.
Trade off, only 5 shots though.
And I’m not very accurate with it at 25 yards. 

i like the DAO hammerless configuration for pocket carry as well.
old school conceal carry.  I also got the old school FBI loads: 38sp+p LSWC 
but probably will use better JHP that expand and work better

If I was going up against a cracked out uso it would be .357 snubbie, but I think these days we are more likely to encounter criminals with 3D printed high cap mags so I’m more inclined towards a slim semi auto. Snubbie definitely has the cool factor, though.

Open carry would be nice in the sense that sometimes having to hide something can be tedious and annoying. But personally I feel it defeats the purpose but should absolutely be a right just as conceal carry should be. I’d only carry concealed because I wouldn’t want to attract too much attention to myself, but that’s my thought on it. Would probably carry full size concealed as a truck gun and compact for traveling, and full size on my person when traveling in familiar areas

for open carry, I would consider my S&W 627 snub nose 8 shot 357.  moon clips make it a little easier to reload, but its too big for me to conceal, so open carry only for this gun for me
my G19 wouldn't be a bad choice either

I would carry a Colt peacemaker buntline special 45 colt with a 14” barrel, front carry concealed. Good for self protection and the ladies would be in awe!

Of course bigger is always better.
You think anyone would notice?

I'm just gonna buy a pocket holster for my P365 and stick it in my front pants pocket.

Is the P365 the best 9mm cc weapon? Then farsighted thinkers should get one now, before the big rush. The XL Spectre models with a Romeo Zero RDS are currently selling for over $1100. How can someone afford that on a McDonald cashier's salary? Need to be a dentist. I was told by a range officer at KHSC that Glocks are considered to be spray & pray weapons, the last thing you need in a crowded public area.

There is no "best ccw" gun. Its the indian, not the arrow. Same goes for spray n pray.

In the end, it comes down to what features you prefer. Luckily, HI removes 1 variable, cant exceed 10rd mag.

I mean, after I get the CCW of course.

Is the P365 small enough for pocket carry? I have shot my nephew’s and I have been looking at the P365 XL for IWB carry. And for me the P365 is just a little too big for pocket carry.

I have a Ruger LCP Max for pocket carry and it is just barely small enough for me. Anything much bigger and it would print too much and the butt would stick out and be visible from my pocket.

Not saying you can’t or that your conditions are not different from mine. It is just my experience has been the P365 is a little too big for me for pocket carry. Let me know what type of pocket holster you end up with. I find the soft nylon ones are very comfortable.

I happen to have shot the P365, Hellcat, Taurus Nano, and the Glock in this size category. While I liked the Glock because I am used to the trigger, the P365 is for me the better of the 4 pistols. Some of the gun writers I follow mostly have the Hellcat. So I think it is really more of a personal choice. But for me the P365 was softer shooting and had a better trigger of the three. I am interested in getting the P365 XL as it has a slightly longer slide/barrel and buttstock. It also shoots even softer than the smaller P365. With my arthritis this helps a lot. It also has better sights. When I finally do get one I still need to find a good IWB holster for it.

Thankful for that. Luckily the criminals follow the laws and would never have more than 10 round mags. That would be a crime.

Anyone shot the new S&W M&P Shield Plus? Same as the regular Shield but upped capacity?

I actually went to the LGS intent on buying a Ruger LCP in 380 caliber.  After trying out the other micro guns I settled for the P365.  I still might buy the LCP in the future, lol!

Yes, the P365 does print a little but I've found that I'm able to pocket the whole gun without the butt sticking out.  If you look really really hard you can make out the butt printing a little even though it is fully enclosed in my front pocket.

I'm still looking at all the offerings for pocket holsters but I'm swaying toward this item that touts as being a pocket holster but it essentially is just a trigger cover that safely encloses that area.  I think the downside is after drawing the weapon you have an extra step where you have to snap off this cover.  With practice it would take micro-seconds, similar to an Israeli draw.  I could be wrong, gotta look into it more.

I have a manual safety on my p365.  Would be go to carry.  Not sure what method I will do.  With all the safety measures nowdays criminals don't even use holsters.

If you have a chance, check out the LCP Max. It has much better sights than the LCP and of course it comes with one mag that has 10+1 capacity and with extra mags you can get 12+1 capacity. For me it is very controllable and very comfortable in my pocket. I am using the holster that came with my LCP Max. It means I have to slightly change my draw to make sure the holster stays in my pocket when I draw. But it doesn’t take any extra time or steps, just an adjustment. For me pocket carry is all about comfort. So for me the smaller the better. I am really interested in seeing the holster you are talking about.

I'd get a Glock 19

They also make a LCP in purple.
