Big bore pocket pistols
I like to pocket carry my J-frame model 649 .357 magnum.
However there are times when I prefer 1) larger bore 2) greater capacity than 5
Here are my two current options that fit the above conditions and that fit inside a jeans pocket with a pocket holster just fine.
Colt Defender .45 and Beretta px4 storm subcompact. The Colt offers 8 rounds of .45, and the Beretta offers 10 rounds of .40 S&W.
Both pistols are ~24 ounces unloaded. They are both roughly the same weight when loaded as the J-frame 649 loaded with 5 158 gr. Magnums.
I still like my full size pistols, but these little pistols are very handy and convenient, while giving up nothing in terms of capacity and cartridge.
