You could do it with cargo pockets. Regular pants pockets, no - at least not my pants pockets. At least I wouldn't. Heck, if I managed to pocket carry it, I'd never get it out in time if I needed to deploy it. Something that size (such as my PA-63) gets carried IWB if I can't carry my Hi-Power and want something more than the LCP. That's a very rare occasion these days, though.Shiner Bock wrote:I don't think I could pocket carry a Bersa without getting a lot of funny looks from people.

Re: Please give me your advise
If you have an XD sub, I would say you already have a great primary carry gun and there a tons of holster options for it. I would start by finding a good BUG. The ruger LCP and KelTec P3AT are both excellent choices that are almost invisible with any clothing. In hot weather, I find myself carrying only the kel tec a lot of the time. There are also a lot of options when carrying a pistol this size, I have IWB, pocket, and ankle holsters so I can change to any configuration that a situation requires.
Once the BUG problem is settled and if you still have the itch for a new primary, take a serious look at the 3-4 inch 1911's. A really good one with all the bells and whistles are a little pricey but there are deals to be found. Fire a decent one and you may find yourself a convert. (That's what happened to me.)
If I had to get rid of all my pistols but 2, I would keep my KelTec P3At and my Kimber Ultra CDP.
One last thing on the BUG though. While I have zero complaints with my Kel Tec, I have fired a couple others and have heard reports from others that some of them have much tighter trigger pulls than mine so, check the trigger pull before you purchase one.
Happy shopping.

I would go with the S&W 642 .38 special. Easy to conceal and light as a feather. 

Re: Please give me your advise
I think the S&W Airweight is a good Summer gun and BUG. I usually carry a Glock but when I wear less clothing the Smith is easier to conceal.
I hope it will be legal to buy handguns in Feb. The way the country is swallowing the audacious hype, I'm honestly worried.AFCop wrote:Ok, when I get home (in Feb) I will be in the market for (hopefully 2) handgun(s) with about $1000 to spend.
