I’ve owned all 3 of these guns, and the beretta is my favorite. It’s the perfect combination of compact and having enough weight to be a very accurate and shootable gun inside defense distances.
I agree, it’s a fantastic little piece. I found it was pretty darn accurate myself, one handed you can have accurate shots still. Perfect pocket gun
I've never used it but In the future I may get 1 because I have seen its accuracy there are better guns but if you want a cheaper accurate and a common ammo using weapon it's perfect and its reliable too
The beretta is the only one I would carry
My first pocket pistol was the LCP 2 in 22lr. After awhile I wanted something a bit more powerful load. I found an LCP 2 in 380 with a Viridian Laser at a great price. I changed out the Trigger to a Galloway Precision which minimizes the take up. Then I swapped out the trigger springs, mag release springs, SS guide rod. All from MCARBO. Trigger pull is greatly reduced and the gun is much tighter in its operation. Less than $80 TOTAL!
Totally agree with your 3 choices. I have shot all 3 of these a lot, although for the .38 snubbie it's been either the Bodyguard Airweight or the 442 Centenial Airweight. My friend's Tomcat runs great now, but it took two trips back to the factory before it was reliable. All 3 are more accurate than you would think for a mouse gun if you practice, but I wouldn't hesitate to depend on any of these.
Great video for small pocket carry pistols with good explanation of how the carry and why you use them.
Somebody said once "the 32 started one world war and ended another"
They would be wrong. Ww1 was started with a .380, not a .32
@@Subtlenimbus Yes indeed, you are correct. IIRC it was an FN mod 1910 .380 ACP. A bad day for all involved, and a few million subsequent others. ☹️
For a number of years I was a bicycle commuter. Rode through a couple of sketchy neighborhoods on my commute route. Looked at dozens of carry options. Settled on KT P32 and P11. The P32 for warm weather in a Remora sticky in the 6 position. The P11 was worn w/a Galco classic knockoff during cold weather under my outer layer.
Great video. Tried out all of your choices and loved them all. My wife did as well. Until she tried a used Seecamp .32. We bought it on the spot. A modified Remora sticky in 2 position. She's a lefty and prefers cross draw. Or a thigh holster for dress up. She, also wears the sticky in the 6 for certain modes of dress.
We both agreed the polymer 380s were just too snappy in general. Anything else in 380 weighed too much. Revolvers printed too much. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Everything was clear and concise. Cheers.
Kahr pm9 my favorite pocket gun I've ever owned
Kahr is nice shooter but not what I call a "high value". I like my "pocket pistols" smaller though. I looked at a lot of options for summer/light dress carry and ankle holster. I decided on a Ruger LCPll. Super thin and light. Feels a little heavier than my phone. Never have had any problems with it. Paid $215 ~ 3 years ago.
My Kahr CW380, like your P380, is just awesome in every category. When it’s hot I can drop it in cargo shorts pocket; when it’s very cold I can put it in the pocket of a Carhartt coat, when I’d have trouble getting to my IWB P365XL. A DeSantis pocket Super Fly pocket holster and DeSantis spare mag holder in the opposite pocket completes the ensemble.
Nice picks! I love that tomcat, I'm thinking of getting one for myself soon. I carry a 642 performance center model and love it. It has a lasermax light up front and crimson trace laser grip and is super lightweight, I carry it religiously and feel well armed with it. I love that it has moonclips too, makes it easier when reloading. I like to carry it with 130gr hst on a moonclip (all come out together, no stragglers! Lol) and keep a speed strip with 130gr pdx1 that are easier to load into the cylinder for a reload (the hst aren't that easy, especially under stress). Ever since I picked up a Taurus PT-22 I feel in love with the tip up barrel and surprisingly great ergonomics of those little mouse guns, which is why I've been considering the tomcat (well actually I'd love to find a alleycat model with the night sight). Maybe Santa will get me one this year lol. Nice video 704.
I originally carried the Tomcat until I could afford the Seecamp .32. 😎
Then the Rohrbaugh 9mm R9 came out (about 2005) and that became my EDC for my pocket! I feel naked without it!
I haven’t found anything that hides in the pocket like the R9. It is discontinued but any of the other “plastic” guns just don’t work for me!
I have not been able to try the new nines out,like the 365,or Hellcat but they don’t appear to be as small as the Rohrbaugh!
I know that the R9 is expensive but for me it has been a great feeling to have it in the pocket for all these years and I shoot minute of pie plate out to as far as I need to for my defense needs!
I still try the Seecamp’s,.32 and.380 occasionally but go back to the 9mm in short time!
I also one the Tomcat, and a Taurus 85 in .38 special.
My RM380 is a 7+1 and I feel well protected with an extra mag. Hides anywhere on my body and it's not a bad round with good shot placement. Revolver like trigger and all my other daily carries are revolvers. I also have the Beretta 3032 in Inox but it makes me nervous to carry the higher dollar guns and worry about scratching it all up.
I'm a 380 Pocket gun enthusiast. Belong to a club that shoots them in on a regular basis. Have been doing this since the Ruger LCP first came out. I own or have owned most of them out there. Have worn many out. You are dead on, with the Kahr. One tough, extremely well built, extremely mild and reliable. A top notch, top shelf 380.
Check out the longer mag spring from magguts. Increases capacity by one round in 380. I have never had a misfeed in my Kahr P380. my go to pocket gun.
My two are the 340PD & LCP, both carried w/either a speedstrip or spare magazine.
I own both a Seecamp 32 and a Tomcat. They are both amazingly accurate. Both guns loaded with Underwood ammo are regulars in my pocket or on my ankle backing up a larger gun.
Excellent video. Thank you!
I agree👍. I also own all 3 of these as well as a L W Seecamp 32. And like you, the 642 does get left behind more often than any of the others.
Good video! Some pretty good options!
I also pocket carry daily for decades. I don't wear Jean's as a result. With Dockers or cargo pants/shorts you can easily conceal P365, Hellcat or PM/CM9 size guns and it disappears. I like the Vedder or Alabama Holster kydex pocket holsters but have also used a Galco Pocket Protector for years before kydex and P365 came out.
The Vedder with P365 is the best combination of comfort and capacity I've ever carried. I can easily pocket even the 12 round mag and draw smoothly and consistently, snag free and it disappears when standing. Prints a bit seated but doesn't profile the gun, just looks like you have something in the pocket.
Great comment. I've been pocket carrying the Walther PPS M2 with a Vedder Pocket Holster for a couple years now. I absolutely love it.
I got a Mika holster for my 365 and it works well in a front pocket. I got another Mika for a 45 shield, and that pockets just as easy in the pants I wear, but it only draws well with the 6 round flush mag. The p365 works with the 12.
I bought my sister the Beretta Tomcat for her first handgun and for Christmas I got her the Underwood +P defense ammo. Muzzle velocity rated 1050 fps and less recoil.. Very expensive ammo though..
That ammo is too hot for her Tomcat. Theres a chance of her cracking the slide with that +p. Beretta has a list of ammo which they recommend due to the history of cracks with older models. Not sure if you were aware or not...
the Beretta is my next pistol. Even for the range. And it's gorgeous to watch
Mines a pain in the ass… don’t get the 22
The Beretta .32 Auto is the Tomcat. The Bobcat is chambered in either .25 Auto or .22 Long Rifle.
Free recoil energy:
• S&W 442 w/.38 Special +P -- 6.4 ft•lb,
• Kahr P380 -- 4.2 ft•lb, and
• Beretta Tomcat -- 1.6 ft•lb.
What self defense ammo do you use for the 32 acp?
Kahr 380 is perfect---Kahr get's a bad rap sometimes, because people do not break them in correctly. Kahr recommends 250 rounds(yea, I know)..for break in. Mine needed all 250 rounds 20 years ago...shoots very well and now handles any type round I use. Good review--thank you!
I appreciate the shorter list. Gets down to the nitty gritty. However I'd like to see one added that is under $200.
I have carried a seacamp 380 in a front pocket holster love this gun and shoots surprisingly well
I don't carry, or feel the need to carry, but when I had son hand guns that I took to the range as a hobby the only one that jammed was a browning ,380. I think that revolvers are the best way to go. We took a girl who was given a 25 by her dad to keep in her glove box. She missed a man target on her first shot and then it jammed. We had the gun smith clean it for her to free the action and then it worked ok. My Taurus 357 never jammed. I got rid of them after I moved and no longer went to the range with friends and coworkers.
Not really a fair comparison since any company that made .25ACP, were basically cheap garbage with only a small few exceptions.
Sig 238 - had the bad boy for years. Great little gun. Even from time to time carry it OWB. But normally in a desantis pocket holster. Scoping out my next one SA 911 in 9mm.
I have both Sa 911, 9mm and 380. Both excellent options, inside waistband or pocket!
Clear, concise, and convincing. What more could I ask for? I'd like to know your opinion of the Seecamp and NAA 32's.
I started carrying small pocket pistols back in 1992.. at that time it was the American arms (originally made by Iver Johnson) PX22. Which is a inexpensive clone of the wather TPH.. I still have it in mine is extremely accurate and reliable for a 22... The next small pistol I purchased was a Beretta 950 BS Jetfire.25 . I carried this in a DeSantis.. leather pocket holster.. the next pocket pistol around 2003 I purchased a Kel-Tec p 32..1st gen .. mine is extremely reliable and accurate out to 50 ft.. I still carry this pocket pistol in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster when I'm wearing lightweight shorts..... My next pocket pistol was one that I constantly carry to this day about 90% of the time which is the Taurus TCP 380.. mine is drop Dead reliable and accurate out to 50 ft.. I never leave home without it... My next pocket pistol that I purchased recently is 11oz !! Smith 342 air light ti (titanium cylinder) centennial 38 special..(discontinued in the late 1990s) I can put this in my right front pocket and a DeSantis Superfly pocket holster with velcroed on flap to prevent printing
I like the Ruger LCP in .380 ACP..slip it into my pocket with a pocket holster and it doesn't feel like I'm carrying a pistol in my pocket. Double action only too it operates exactly like a double action revolver..the trigger pull on the first shot is rather stiff and long trigger travel but once you get used to it it's fine. Like those Beretta pistols too they appear to made very well.
The Beretta Tomcat overcomes any shortcomings of the .32 acp by the speed of how it can accurately fire multiple rounds on the target.
picked up a Tomcat 3032 a couple months ago and ran 100 rounds of PMC thru it. Was fairly disappointed after having a half dozen double-feeds(failure to eject, really). Otherwise, super accurate. But, imo, reliability is paramount. Gonna run different ammo types thru it and see if that changes anything. Ive no experience with blowback-only ejection…but surely can see the benefits of an extractor, which this doesnt have…
Anyways, will review my beloved Tommy after running Normas,Fiocchis,etc…thru it,checking my grip(to make sure Im not hindering the slide,etc.
Any positive feedback welcomed!
cheerio
wanna add that I LOVE the safety in this Tomcat! Its so intuitive and u swipe it off so naturally when you position to fire. WAY better than my M&P Shield9.
I’m praying I can rectify the feeding/cycling issues with it…cuz there’s so many pluses with this baby: Ergonomic design,small physical size, super accuracy,7+1 capacity,DASA(love this bigtime too!).
Lol
@@davidjohnson563 how’s the Tomcat reliability looking 3 months later? Was the PMC ammo FMJ or JHP? Any other feedback on different ammo you’ve tried - 71 v 73gr, etc…? I’ve got a his/her pair of these on the way to my FFL and some of the PMC 71gr FMJ…
PMC doesn't work well in the Tomcat. Fiocchi 73gr FMJ works great, no issues whatsoever
Really good presentation. Thanks.
I have to agree that the Kahr 380 has the nicest trigger. I have never had jamming problems with mine. I have had several pocket 380s, but my favorite carry is the Kahr.
Love both pm9 and p380 Karh's.
The p380 is picky on ammo, especially with flat nose fmj's and Gold Dots. The PM9....no issues.
Any wrapon that allows you to immediately pull the trigger (round in the chamber with a double action trigger) is the way to go. So a revolver or a Tomcat doesn't need to be racked or have a hair trigger that could go off by mistake.
I've been carrying a Taurus 709slim in 9mm and I love it. I carried a Tomcat for many years but started having reliability issues so I had to let it go
The 709 Slim is a great gun alot of people sleep on.
I think you might like some paint on the front sights! Great video
That Tomcat does have a 1/2 cock locked and loaded feature. I carry mine often when I really do not want anyone to know I'm packing. However, don't use the hot, squared-off rounds in it. That semi-rimd case will lock up in the mag and jam the gum. Only full length cartridges will do. That means FMJs only!
The Beretta Pico 380 is another great choice. The thinnest of all 380’s.
My Remington RM380 is easier to control than an LCP I or II, which I see people mention in the comments. I tried the LCP's and did not like the snappiness of either. While the RM380 is also snappy, it is to a lesser degree than many others I have tried. I've had it a couple years and so far have not found any pocket .380 less snappy. Also, it's been 100% reliable with 1,000 rounds through it. My wife prefers her Taurus Spectrum. She also did not like the snappiness of the Rugers. Then again, her Taurus comes in her favorite color, purple.
Sig P238 or Sig P938 for my pocket. The P238 is the softest 380 shooter I've experienced. Both have thumb safeties for when you're fumbling around in your pocket.
Isn't that a bit heavy for a pocket pistol?
P938 for my pocket
Good video sir great choices for pcc.my favorite is p238 like it alot it's a micro 1911how could you not like that
" Whats in your pocket? The Berreta TOMCAT is the true conceal-carry " Never leave home with out it"
i want this so bad but im afraid of frame crack.
@@JC-2020 cracking frame is the black model , get the INOX stainless steel model.
I prefer to pocket carry my Glock 42; I shoot it better than any other 380 ACP. In smaller jean pockets, I carry my LCP II.
I love the Tomcat. Old and reliable design and fun to shoot.
I have both the 642 performance center and the Beretta tomcat. Luv em both.
If your like the tomcat and your not worried to carry a 25acp check out the Taurus pt25. It fits smaller hands like a glove and points natural
I like revolvers easy to clean when you're do in dirt OT don't leave a trace
I just bought the tomcat. Now I have all 3. I love ‘‘em all.
I like the Beretta Tomcat - soft recoil, like the safety. And it’s quite accurate.
For 380..the Ruger LCP or LCPII. I like the Kahr, but it is very Ammo sensitive and tends to jam.
Stay away from the S&W Bodyguard..awful trigger. SIG 238 is nice, but single-action 1911-style.
The Bodyguard is garbage. Worst firearm I have ever purchased. I averaged a 10% failure rate after 100 rounds. Threw the gun in the trashcan.
One of the best pocket carry guns is the SCCY CP2. It is the lightest double stack 9mm. With 10+ it weighs only 22 oz.
Excellent point... my 380’s see a lot of pocket carry time
I trust my LCP more than the Kahr though
Living in Northern California and always wanting a Kahr P-380, I had only one choice due to the CA DOJ approved gun list and that was the "California Compliant" P-380. While retail prices of near $800 and extreme rarity put it out of reach for me and my budget I did get very lucky to find a used "California Compliant" P-380 in my local gun shop for $500! Now I really do not think the added features of the "California Compliant" P-380 justified a price double of the regular P-380 however, I like the Lothar Walther match grade polygonal rifled barrel and the Drift Adjustable White Bar-Dot Combat Sights. It also has the chambered round indicator as well as the magazine disconnect which I could easily do without. My gun is a tack driver at 30 feet. I've also hit a 2 foot hanging steel plate multiple times at 100 yards. I guess this example is the ONLY positive thing I have found about buying guns in California!
Pretty happy with my little M&p bodyguard with built in crimson trace laser I carry it with hornady xtp ammo really accurate out to 5 yards carry it with a sticky brand pocket holster
I like the Beretta. I own a Jetfire so I’m familiar with their pocket guns.
I have the Tomcat-it is so easy to carry, I carry it in jeans back pocket, vest, bag, any old way. I also have a Ruger SP101 2.25 in 357, but that’s so heavy and bulky in comparison.
Pants pocket summer carry is my lcp ii, jacket pocket is my smith 442, and aiwb is my shield. I feel adequately protected with any of these, and I know I will carry them and be comfortable all day. I've tried carrying my m&p 2.0 compact, but it just isn't comfortable for any length of time
You ever had an issue with the lcp 2? Just got one and the mag has been releasing while shooting. I've tried different mags and different hand position s.. any advise?
@@kordgreenough9933 I've never had that problem. I would think that's probably a grip issue
Can you get thinner grips for the Tomcat? It is a wide gun, for those that have small hands.
A tomcat a jframe and a kahr?
Nice collection but it's hard throwing those jframes or single stack 9s in my pocket.... but that tomcat is right up my alley
Nice review. Thanks!
Smith & Wesson 642 and 4 42 is awesome looking
I would like to add a training tip from the VERY distant past: I learned to aim and fire a handgun using, NOT the Tomcat, but the Beretta Jetfire .25acp. (this was in the 1960's.) My father handloaded, so he was not afraid to create perfectly safe BEESWAX loads as follows: 1) You get yourself a box of cartridges (in my dad's case .25acp, but would work perfectly well with .32acp) - 2) You pull the bullets out of the cases and dump the powder - and 3) you press the now-empty cases into a bar of beeswax. What this gives you is beeswax loads that can be inserted into the chamber via the use of the tip-up barrel, and which you can fire into any appropriate target, one shot at a time, using ONLY THE ENERGY OF THE PRIMER. This allows you to learn the sights of the gun, as well as trigger control, in the privacy of your own home, without alarming your neighbors, and in complete safety (we hung a target on the opening of our fireplace, and the beeswax only helped us to start the fireplace when we wanted a fire). Unorthodox? Yes. My dad was weird like that, but then he was a Special Weapons Technician in the Navy during WWII, so he was used to finding out WHATEVER would work to get the job done.
I love my Kahr CW380 but it is unreliable. I've had way too many misfires and stovepipes with it regardless of the ammo I have used.
FEG SMC .380 with the minus finger rest mag. Like a Walther, but reliable.
Great info. Thanks!
Have had great success with a Ruger LCP2. No jams and more accurate than I could have hoped.
I like the Seecamp . Small Berettas love jam.
Watching this video makes me wanna buy a Beretta Tomcat Inox in .32acp.
My 3 favorite pocket carry consists of a Ruger LCP ( Gen 1 ) with a Houge grip and 7 round magazine , S&W 638 and a Glock 42.
You will like the tomcat the best.
How’s the g42? Not too big when In your pocket ?
I recommend the Ruger LCP II to a new shooter. But instead of the 6 round mag, get the 7 round extended mag and you have a full grip. Recoil is non existent! Then grab a pro mag 10 round as a backup. Only thing is, the 10 round mag does not lock the slide. But it’s just a backup.
Lol to the opening, I carry my full size double stack 9mm no problem. I want the pocket pistol for those hot summer days when I don't want to sweat all over my nice holster. 😁
Hah! The CZ83 is (by far) the smoothest shooting .380 ... but it is a double stack holding 14 rnds and isn't as concealable as this Kahr.
(But what a joy to shoot!)
I have a 950 jetfire in 25acp i carry somtimes i call it my neck up gun i can put 9 rounds in a fist size group from 10 yards. i would Look into the underwood 32acp it looks nice solid copper shaped projectile
All 3 guns are perfect for people with small hands because weapon grip is important for anti recoil or for ergonomical handling of load and reload.
*GREAT REVIEW!*
~~~
I also like the seecamp great fun great pocket carry reliable too I have a raven in safe but she picky with ammo and have to clean between shooting the no missfires I carry a little gun similar to the beretta called the fie titan as back up it works good and thin and smaller than my 38 snubnose the seecamp is still made to this day by the way .
Happy to be a new subscriber
I have a lot good to say about .32acp ammunition. I carry a Walther PPK. Rather long in the tooth, I know. But mine has remained quite accurate and dependable through the years. The .32acp ammo packs a good punch. I regularly shoot paper targets mounted on 5-ply wood. More than 3/4 of my rounds go entirely through the wood. As "Q" said to James Bond, "It has a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window."
Adolph Hitler praised that pistol and even used it in his final moments in the bunker. One round for Eva and one round for himself. Very effective.
@@namvet1968 Eva took cyanide
I very regularly conceal carry a S&W 638 Airweight .38 spl loaded with Hornady Critical Defense +p rounds. It’s only 5 shots and has its obvious limitations, but it is a convenient handgun with sufficient power for a basic self-defense scenario. It is not an enjoyable gun to shoot, tho. Other handguns I own that I will CC from time to time, depending on the situation: S&W Shield EZ .380, Ruger LCP II .22LR (I will be buying the .380 version soon… same size, might as well get a more powerful / reliable caliber), NAA Wasp .22WMR, and a Canik TP9SF 9mm. For home defense or when I’m out on my land and have to deal with large, dangerous animals, I have a Ruger GP100 .357 magnum. I have a customized Walther P22 staged as well.
Bersa Thunder CC in 380. Perhaps a bit heavy, but what a great gun!
It's a little big for pocket carry. It can be done, but it's a lot easier with a gun like the tomcat.
I’ve got the same Bersa. It is the only gun I have that has had zero malfunctions. It pocket carries okay for me. It is a tad lighter than a p365. It is actually thinner than the tomcat in the grip, and has a better trigger. At least mine does.
All I had to see was what guns you choose, I then knew you know what you're talking about.
Had a kahr cw380. Wouldn't reliably cycle even after broken in. Had to get rid of it. Sad because the size was perfect.
From the Beretta website:
Frequently, our departments receive emails and calls concerning an “issue” with our 3032 Tomcat frames cracking. This is mostly misinformation, perpetuated over the years in various mediums.
All Tomcat frames are built using 7075 T6 aluminum, the exact material used to manufacture AR-15 lower receivers. At the time the firearm was introduced to the market in 1996, it's cartridge, .32 ACP, was relatively weak, when compared to the muzzle energy produced by many modern cartridges. Upon introduction, the muzzle energy limit was set at 130 ft. Ibs. As time passed, many ammunition manufacturers got in to the practice of increasing the muzzle energy produced by these cartridges, to a point where in some cases, the cartridges could easily exceed 150-200 ft. Ibs of muzzle energy, much higher than the 14 ounce aluminum frame can tolerate. Herein lies the problem.
Yes, the frames can crack, however, the issue in question stems from the use of improper ammunition, that exceeds the tolerances of the aluminum frame. If the owner purchases ammunition with a higher muzzle energy than specified, repeated use will crack the frame. This is not a defect with the firearm, and damage resulting from the use of improper ammunition is not covered by the factory warranty. Moreover, new Tomcat purchases typically carry a small note card, or note in the manual, indicating these ammunition limits.
In response to this ammunition issue, in 2007-2010, Beretta USA began manufacturing Tomcats with widened slides, with the capability of absorbing more energy and preventing cracks from the use of improper ammunition. However, this has not affected the muzzle energy limits.
Ammunition manufacturers may change the muzzle energy of their cartridges over time. With that in mind, it is incumbent upon the buyer to learn the parameters of each box of cartridges purchased. Online purchases are very helpful, as charts usually accompany the purchase, and demonstrate cartridge metrics. Moreover, the buyer should check for each purchase.
To that end, the purchase of a used Tomcat carries some risk, as the prospective buyer may never know how the pistol was treated by the original owner.
If your Tomcat has suffered a cracked frame, then it will ultimately need to be retired from service, as the frames, which are serialized and regulated, can be neither replaced nor repaired.
On rare occasions, we have been known to sell the owner a new Tomcat at wholesale cost, should this issue occur.
I'm a Bobcat
This was actually resolved with the newer INOX models. I own one and it’s flawless. Just an FYI.
It hasn’t been resolved, because it still happens to the inox ones, though it is rare. It happens when people use hot cartridges like those from Underwood or Buffalo Bore. AFAIK, it seems that the cracks are cosmetic anyway. The guns function fine after the crack is smoothed out with a file or sand paper.
Beretta feels that it is covered by putting a kinetic energy limit on the ammo someone should use, but the final energy can only be determined by a particular cartridge fired through a particular gun over a chronograph. Whatever the ammo box says only relates to whatever the test gun was at the factory. For the Tomcat, Fiocchi 73 grain fmj just about hits 130 ftlbs.
what you think of a Seecamp LWS 380 as a carry?
Springfield armory 911 in 380 is my EDC.
For 32 carry get a Keltec p32. Smaller and lighter than tomcat same ammo count. Mine is 100% reliable. Ruger copied the p32 for their lcp series. Keltec p32 is astoundingly reliable.
My berettas suck on reliability
@@chrissherrill790 Bummer. I once owned a less than reliable 45acp from Springfield Armory.
@@biffgee6797 it hurts for real… I’ve got a Taurus that won’t fail even tho it’s treated like hell .. baby the berettas and they foul up constantly I will say more the 22 than the tomcat and the 92 is super reliable.
Can you do a comparison video of the Taurus PT 25 ACP and the Beretta Bobcat? Or the Phoenix 25ACP.
How many times have you drawn any your pistols n the last 7 years? Curious.
I would really appreciate seeing these demonstrated in an athletic situation! My biggest concern is which pistol(and holster) will stay there no matter what I do - sprints, burpees, basketball, etc...
Check out crossbreed holsters they're great
Me carrying a Beretta and a glock 17 in my pockets: uh- imma head out .
I definitely need them in Chicago for my protection.
Throw a Hogue beaver tail rubber grip on that P380. You’ll thank me later.
I’ve owned about 7-8 true pocket guns (9-14)ounce guns, and I believe the P380 is probably the best one. I’ve had the bodyguards, Sigs, NAA, and sold em all and kept the Kahr. Yea it’s ammo sensitive but so we’re some of my high end 1911’s.
I gotta be honest I’d love to carry the Glock 42 or the LCP Max and see how those are but then again your adding 3-4 more ounces which doesn’t sound like much but in sweatpants or gym shorts you’ll really notice it.
That's a very sexy J frame.
If you can shoot the Beretta the best you should try a Sig P238 for another 380 or a P938 for basically the same gun in 9mm . The P938 is a bit on the snappy side depending on what you put in it for ammo . But he P238 handles everything 380 has to offer power wise , they shoot like a mini 1911's the triggers are single action and very clean . Plus if your going to stick a gun in your pocket pointing at parts you would like to keep I'd always prefer it had a safety , and if you can't deal with a safety you need to train more .
B Fairfax The P365 is so small it almost qualifies as a pocket pistol.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I agree I do like the safety on a gun in my pocket. Plus I carried a 1911 for a long time in the Army so the manual of arms is the same on the p238 and 938 just tiny and harder to hold on to.But it's way better than most because it is metal/heavy for its size.
I pocket carry a Walther PPS M2 in a pocket holster from Vedder. Another great gun for pocket carry would be the Glock 42
Ive been pocket carrying the Glock 42 now for a couple of months and I love it. I'm thinking about getting a Beretta Tomcat in .32acp like the one in the video to add to my pocket gun collection
@@larscomedy9521 how does it feel? Not too big for the pocket ?
Can anyone please tell me where I can purchase one of these Taurus pt22 small guns-I do not like the short version poly-thank all of you
Best round for the airweight 38 j frames is the federal HST 38 special plus p 130 grain.. Federal achieve plus p pressure and velocity by seating the humongous hollow point deep in the case building up plus p pressure without adding more powder.. the result is a humongous hollow point that expands and penetrates 13 in denim covered ballistic gel.. The recoil in my 11 oz 38 is like a 22 magnum
How about a Ruger LCP 2 Lite in 22 LR and Walther PPK/S in 22 LR. Are they perfect for concealed carry and have good recoil control? Are they better than the 380?
The best gun for self defense is any gun that fires a bullet. Beretta is an excellent manufacturer.
