Last year, my FIL, never having pocket carried, wished to start. Living alone and frequently going to car auctions, he wanted to protect himself.

Cousin Richie, a police chief, and I took him to a rental range. Richie said to pick guns that felt natural in his hand and pocket.

After handling many, he rented the BG380, the LCP, the P238 and a 442.

After a box of shells through each we asked: "so, who's the winner?"

"The 442."

He appreciated what the others had to offer but said that the 442 was easier to retrieve from his pocket and the DA trigger had enough resistance to give him peace of mind about it being on his person.

Great gun.
