What's the smallest gun you pocket carry?

My NA Mini-revolver 22mag is ALWAYS in my pocket...... safe/clean/secure inside a modified Blackhawk size 2 pocket holster ....... just like it was for over a decade before I retired from law enforcement a few years back. Makes NO difference what is on or inside my belt, the mini goes with me.
 
One of these........

My PM9 will fit in the pocket of some of my pants, but I prefer to carry it IWB and have my NAA .22 Mag in my front pocket. I can't say enough good things about the PM9, it is truly an outstanding little handgun. So much more accurate and easy to handle than a snub nose revolver, it isn't even close.
 
Thanks for all of the suggestions. The reason I'm avoiding the .380 is that I watched a relative empty six or seven of them into an attacking dog when I was younger and it kept going far longer than one would like. My J frame is a .357.

Humans are the same way, even when hit with a .45

Take a read through Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness if you haven't read it.
It will give you more confidence that a 38 with adequate penetration (FMJ?) can be highly effective for a pocket gun.
 
I'd prefer to carry my .45ACP Defender on my hip everywhere I go but that's just not a good idea. OP possibly is in the same position. My P3AT gets a lot more carry time and often my NAA .22mag finds it's way into my pocket as well. Stray dogs and regular inspections keep the bore lint free. An S&W M37 rides along in a pocket holster if the pants are baggy enough.
Cool thing about pocket carry. You can have your hand on your weapon in an uncomfortable stuation without drawing much attention. May save as much as .5 second in putting the critical first round on target and may take BG by surprise as well. Try that with a strong side belt holster!
I welcome speculation about my manliness, BTW. My favorite 1911 mags have hot pink or green bumpers. But that's off-topic, isn't it?
 
My smallest handgun is my KT P32, often carry in an ankle holster or pocket carry depending on the situation, its more of a last resort gun then a back up, thats what my p11 and my snubs are for...
