Your favorite pocket gun

LCP2 is my favorite pocket gun. Reliable, more accurate than it should be, and disappears in my front pants pocket.

S&W 683-3 & 442-2 .38 SPL.+P
G 42 & S&W M&P BG 380's

My pocket pistols are:

Beretta Tomcat .32
Seecamp .32
Sig P238 .380
Ruger LCP 2nd Gen .380
Keltec P11 (big pockets)

I put wood grips on the Tomcat.
Hogue grips on the LCP.

My favorite is the Beretta, frame crack issues and all.
It was my first small pistol, and I love the way it shoots.
 
For the last few years, my carry gun has been a Kahr PM9. Recently, I bought a Kel-Tec P32 and it has replaced the PM9 as my favorite carry gun, mainly because I will carry it more.
 
I don't carry often but with lightweight shorts, t-shirt and flip flops I carry a 25 Raven. Next step up is an I frame S&W 32 long. Not exactly potent but better than none and go when I can't carry my 357. Looking to upgrade with a Keltec 32 or S&W 380...with an edge going to the smaller Keltec.
 
LCP II. Reliable with a great trigger, good texture on the frame, and lower recoil for such a small gun. Personally I'm not a big fan of .380 ACP or pocket guns with short barrels in general, but it's way easier to take on and off than my Glock 19 in an iwb. My G19 is my primary carry, but I run the LCP II on the days when I know I'm going to have to lock the gun in the car.
 
Two guns. Keltec .380, or S&W 442. With a Blackhawk size 4 inside the pocket holster. In winter I move from front jeans pocket to a coat pocket.
 
Yesterday on my trip to Cabelas in Northern VA, I picked up a DeSantis Nemesis for my SIG P290. Today for the first time I carried my P290 in a pocket holster for most of the day. I take back everything I've ever said about it only being "pocketable" and being too heavy to be seen as a true pocket pistol. It carried just fine (maybe I'm just used to having a lot of stuff in my pockets, but it was barely noticeable). So, my answer must be revised to an unequivocal SIG P290RS.

That said, I do need a better pocket holster. Like many "one size fits many" holsters, the Nemesis doesn't fit the P290 perfectly and it is a bit tight. Most of the time when I draw the holster tries to come with the gun and I have to very purposefully push the gun and holster apart which greatly slows my draw. Nothing a well designed holster that is built specifically for the P290 won't solve.
 
I've just about decided it's too big for a pocket, but I've been experimenting with different ways to carry a SIG P938.
I have conventional belt holster, appendix IWB, compression shirt with built-in shoulder holster, and pocket holster.

The "sticky" pocket holster is a bit too bulky for the front pocket, and it doesn't keep the gun oriented butt-up in a cargo pocket.
I've also discovered that the weight difference between empty and fully loaded makes quite a difference in comfort; loaded, it seems like I have a large pendulum in my pocket.
