Re: Pocket Pistols in 9mm - Good Idea, or Bad?

I carry a Sig .380 when my carry situation deems it necessary to have a small gun. I do practice with it often.

That said, I sure appreciate the point of view about mini-9s being so uncomfortable to shoot that people won't practice much. I had the opportunity to shoot a new Diamondback DB9 and if I never pick up one of those again, it will be too soon. But all guns are different. I've shot a Kahr PM9 and it wasn't bad as far as comfort.

I've seen a lot of ladies at various women's programs trying to shoot LCPs or Bersa Thunders. While they fit smaller hands better, a lot of women have trouble with the slide (not as much real estate to get your hand on) and do complain about their hands hurting after a few hours on the line.

But like you, Skiprr, I think the mini 9s are a viable option for some concealed carry situations. I would certainly consider one.
