Another vote for the Kimber K6xs. Real sights. Six rounds. | |||

Sorry for my error in suggesting the Colt Government Pocketlite. The DAO .380 I was thinking of was actually called the Pony Pocketlite, and it had a spurless flush DAO hammer.  | |||

You’re far from alone. Add me to the camp that wouldn't mind having a DA/SA pocket pistol option as well. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

A Walther PPK 32 is about all I can think of. I have never found the tip-up barrel Beretta's (Tomcat) to be reliable. And a PPK is best fed 32, as 380 is surprisingly uncomfortable to shoot in a PPK. I would suggest a Lipsey's 432UC in 32 H&R. Same gun you have been carrying but with a sixth round. | |||

| That is my spot. |
Used to carry the Two tone 232 as a pocket gun. It was fine in most casual pants. I did consider that flat base plates and/ or shorter slide would be better. ***************** Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin | |||

S&W BG 380 Gen 1 M&P hammer fired DAO is smaller and still available at very cost effective with plenty of mags at reasonable prices. | |||

I second the Kahr PM9 - think you can get a 7rd magazine for them, so 8 rounds of 9mm at the ready *Handguns are fine, Shotguns are final | |||

Res ipsa loquitur |
The Beretta Nano/APX Carry is pocket-sized for the most part. It’s striker fired but its trigger is really like a double action only. Simply no comparison to a Glock or P365 trigger. Mine is completely reliable. They have 6 and 8 round magazines and it’s 9mm. __________________________ | |||

I cannot recemmend the Kahr PM9/CM9 enough It's 9mm It's flat It's small It's relatively light for a pocket gun It's got the best and smoothest DAO trigger you ever saw out of the box The thing is SO easy and pleasant to shoot, it really does not shoot like a small 9mm at all. I feel 100% comfortable carrying it in my pocket as it's not a cocked striker, I think it's something like 1/4 cocked and that trigger is a good long DAO, you'd really have to screw up to have a ND with this gun IMO I like to describe it as a flat revolver that happens to be a semi auto. As a 442 carrier you would really like this one Size comparison here with 442: https://www.handgunhero.com/co...ith-wesson-model-442 | |||

Another one that I've pocket carried that is a true DA/SA and based kind of on the Walther PPK is the Bersa Thunder 380 CC You'll see a lot of people shitting on Bersa and they aren't the most finely finished guns but mine ALWAYS went bang and was a complete tack driver. I'd carry one of these any day over a PPK: Bersa Thunder 380 CC  Here is the Bersa vs the 442, it's VERY similar in size with the benefit of being flatter: https://www.handgunhero.com/co...80-cc#compare-chartsThis message has been edited.
