Going to grab a Taurus tcp .380. Have to wait until pay day....school shopping and a recent move, and having not sold my house yet has made things a bit tight!!

Well I went to a gun show today at the Belton Co. Expo center....decent show, small but good inventory. Anyway, I handled about every gun a could that would be a smaller framed pocket carry gun. The Shield felt good, not sure if I want to spend that much on an alternative carry gun. The kel-tec had a nice feel, certainly not flashy, but should go bang! The diamondback 9 had an ok feel, little small. Then Ruger seemed small. The LC9 may work, not sure. Nano was a nice little gun, can't imagine the Taurus slim in a pocket.

I have a Bersa Thunder .380 that is a great little shooter that is my alternate to my G19 when circumstances make it difficult to carry. I have a small holster for it that I believe I could pocket carry it in until I find a dedicated pocket holster. Going to compare some specs and see the differences.

Anyone pocket carry this weapon have thoughts on it and have any suggestions on a setup ?

Sure appreciate all the great feedback! There is a local gun show this weekend ill check out, handle a few, and see what I think. I'll keep you posted.

Looking for some experienced insight. I am looking into a pocket carry setup. My primary carry is a glock 19 worn in a raven concealment phantom holster worn owb. Sometimes due to work I have to tuck in my shirt or just don't feel like the cover garment due to the heat. I have a Bersa Thunder .380 which is a great gun, but think it may be too big for pocket carry.

Guess my two questions are:
1. Anyone ever pocket carry a Bersa Thunder .380?
2. Can anyone recommend a setup they have, preferably in 9mm? I want a reliable pistol but don't want to spend a ton on a BUG. Would like to stay under $400.
