Pocket carry? Pocket pistol?

[Patriot]

I think you answered your own question. Terrible trigger pull and not fun to shoot.

I agree, that little pistol was abusive to shoot. My friend had one. I suggested he throw it in the river.

I couldn’t agree more with @Bullet Guy on this. I talked myself into a M&P Bodyguard when they first came out with the M&P version without the laser. I overpaid for it, still have it, and I hate the thing. Trigger is gritty and way too long. It’s crazy uncomfortable to shoot, added rubberized Talon grips that helped only slightly. Eventually I’ll either sell or trade it when I figure out what I want to replace it with.

Shoot someone's Smith 642, I bought mine over six years ago and carried it every day since. Some times I'll take a New York Reload in addition to the 642.

A fine fail proof revolver for under $500 perfect for pocket carry.

442,642, 40. All "j" frames. The 40 is a little heavy because it is chromed steel, but it has the grip safety so it's a pocket carry w/o a holster. 5 rounds .38 sp. can even handle the BB and Underwood "outdoorsman" loads 158 gr. hardcast keith. S&W made a lightweight Mod 42 for a short time, but you very rarely ever see one for sale used.

I bought a stainless Smith model 640, same as the Smith 642 but heavier and a three inch barrel just because I didn't have one. I've shot it a few times but never carry it because the 642 is smaller & lighter in my pocket. I like the enclosed hammer so pocket litter doesn't get in the machinesms and plug things up. 642 is my all time favorite pocket carry handgun.

640 is on the top, 642 is on the bottom. Less then $900 for both of these revolvers. I have rubber grips for the 640.
