Anyone here try the LCP 2 yet?

I own a g19 gen4 and I love it.. I call it a good three season gun because in summer when you want a tank top and shorts on its a little bit of a pain.. been looking at the Ruger LC9s pro. Read lots of good things on these guns.. just my two cents

The Sig p938 is a pleasure to own, very accurate for its size, reliable, never had an issue with it. Full sized tritium sights are a boon as well, and laser grips are available.

Look at the Kahr CM-9 and the Desantis pocket holster. An excellent $350 gun and the holster is like $15.

Have you considered a Kahr CM9 or PM9? Very small single stack 9mm. Comparable to LC9. CM9 is very affordable option. Could carry IWB or in pocket comfortably.

If you work in a wet messy situations like I do note that the Kahr CM9 is stainless steel which makes all the difference for me.

I carry a Kimber Micro Raptor in 380

It is lighter and smaller than a CC 9mm

I carry it in the small of my back, inside my waistband.

It is pretty similar to my wife's Sig Sauer P238 (disassembly is the same), but is lighter, and since I carry it inside my waistband, I prefer the handle of the Kimber over the rubber handle of the Sig against my skin

So is the kahr CM9 smaller and better for pocket carry then? How do you even carry in a pocket just don't chamber a round?

You can chamber a round. Just use a pocket holster that covers the trigger.

Oh I kind of forgot about those

Th Kahr CM9 is one gun you always want to have cambered since they don't like to be chambered fast in a panic due to the powerful recoil spring.

But they are very safe due to long trigger pull and the firing pin/spring is not compressed until the trigger actually is pulled. It has the usual internal safety things against being dropped and such so pulling the trigger pretty deliberately is the only way to fire it.

I like carrying a revolver a ton, carry my detective special in a ankle holster or in pocket, but normally pocket carry my model 49, J frame.

I would recommend one, try one first, see if you can range test or rent one, haven't shot one but a LCR is so light and a great size for carry. Shot a Ruger SP101 2 inch and has a huge barrel blast, very tough and can handle .357 mag. If you want a bit of a bigger but great carry revolver get a 7 shot .357 s&w model 686+.

Main snubnose suggestions:
S&W j-frame: model 36,37(aluminum, lighter)model 38/49(shrouded hammer, but can still cock it for single action, can shoot in pocket if you must) 442/642(can find those lockless sometimes) model 60.
All those are five shot, all .38 special, some model 60's are .357 magnum.
Bit heavier and slightly bigger are snubnose model 10/12 and 15's. but those are six shots.

Colt detective specials or it's cheaper aluminum counterpart the Colt Agent are great, both six shots and actually a bit lighter then a normal J frame.

For pistol, haven't shoot one, but heard great about the shelds, love the one I shot and will be buying one when I have a chance is a LC9s. Amazing little 9mm, very light, shoots great.

I would also say look into a Glock 26(10 round 9mm), 27(9 round .40) or the Glock 30(9-10 round .45acp) heard those have very light recoil and can handle .45 better then some 1911's because of the double recoil spring.
