hi

 

I prefer the 938. For the weight, size and capacity, I have not come across anything better. In addition, I like metal guns and hammers.

 

I've carried the P938 in a jacket pocket, but, for me at least, it is still too big to carry in a pants pocket.

For pants pocket carry the only gun I've found that's practical is a Seecamp. Mine is in .32ACP. Yes I know, it's not a 9MM or larger, but I really can carry it almost anywhere, except the shower.

Could probably carry it in the shower if really necessary, but let's not go there.

 

Welcome to the forum.
Me no pocket carry.
But if I did, it would be a sw 642.

 

For pocket carry, I like having the manual safety, which for me would eliminate the P365. Between the P238 and the P938, my preference would be the 9mm.

 

I have one of each, 238, 938 and 365.

I have not carried the 238 since I got the 938.

I take all three to the range.

 

I don’t always pocket carry, but when I do; it’s with a p238.

 

And all this time we thought you were just glad to see us.

 

Not wanting to look too overjoyed meeting folks, when I pocket carry--it's my LCP Custom.

 

Personally I don't carry any of those options in the pocket. Were I to do so I'd go with the P938 as the size/weight differential with the P238 is insignifant. I do carry a Kahr P380 in the pocket that is about 1/3 lighter and 25% narrower than the P238/P938.

 

I pocket carry my P365 in a inside vest pocket with a 12 round mag, just don't put one in the tube. In my Windhill Kydex OWB holster she's fully loaded.

 

I pocket carry both the 938 and 365 in Remora holsters. The 938 is slightly smaller and lighter, but the 365 pocket carries surprisingly well. The 238 would be the easiest, but it's not a 9mm if that matters to you. It's also hard to argue with the ability to carry 12 + 1 in your pocket.

 

P238 for pocket carry personally. I have a 238 and a 938. I would carry a 938 in my pocket except mine is a Legion. The extended magwell means the 6 round magazine isn’t a viable option. If I have to pocket carry this summer, I will take my 238 with a 6 round mag.

 

I wear little pants on my little body. Pocket Cary in normal jeans, or any pants with pockets cut like jeans is a no go.

Pants where the pocket opening is cut at a downward angle, like certain Duluth work pants is the only way for me.

With at said, my 365 is too tall for me to get a clean draw. The LCPII is perfect. J frames also, but I am out of those for the moment.

 

I started out pistols with a 1911 so for me it is SAO all the way.
I tried and swore off .380 a long time ago, so my carry is a 938 SAS, in a Sticky holster.

 

My P238 Blackwood rides in a Remora pocket holster.....perfect draw...

 

SW shield 2.0, what I tote. It works, works well and is a fine shooter.

 

Carried the P938 for a few years. Was never completely comfortable carrying cocked and locked. I much prefer the simpler manual of arms of the striker fired P365. Bonus: plus four rounds!

 

I have pocket carried daily my 365 since shortly after acquiring it in April of 2018. I recently asked my assistant (who knows I carry) if she had ever noticed it. She said, "not until just now when you pointed it out." A cop buddy on the same day (who was with his wife) asked me about the 365. I answered that I had one and was carrying it at that moment. He and his wife commented that they did not notice it. I carry right strong side front pocket in a Desantis Superfly pocket holster. I carried a 238 prior to acquiring a 290, which I carried until I acquired the 365 (maybe for 3 months). The 290 was too big for pocket carry. The 365, for me, is not.

 

I have pocket carried a P290rs in the summer months for the past 5 years. I'll be switching to the P365 this year. It even fits in the same holsters that I use with the P290.

IMHO Bersa Thunder.

 

Vedder makes a good pocket holster.

 

I just learned watching YouTube that Sig displayed at this years Shot Show their new P365 with a ambidextrous thumb safety! It was reported to ship in March or April to the stores and is expected to cost the same as the original, already approved in Massachusetts.

 

I have been pocket carrying for over a half century, mostly snub nose revolvers but also some of the smaller pistols. Currently I have two Sigs that sometimes get pocket carry walkabout; a P230 and a P290RS 380. I find though that they simply carry better OWB.


Today for pocket carry I find the Remington RM380 as close to a perfect pistol as I have ever found. Close to that is the Beretta Pico (mine does not seem to like wide mouthed JHPs) and the S&W M&P Bodyguard 380 (needs some grip tape on the slide but with that it has become a swan). I also have a Ruger LCP Gen 2 but it is a very distant runner up with absolutely no redeeming graces.

 

S&W 340 PD Air Lite .357. This is my work commute carry piece. When I stop for gas or groceries, I'll slip it into my back pocket of my jeans; this is the only time I pocket Carry.

 

Had a 290 rs it pocket carried ok. Just did not like the trigger no matter how much I tried. Now have 938 that I pocket carry in a Galco suede type leather holster.
I don't carry this gun everyday. Usually a different gun, when I need to carry in pocket it's the 938.
I also had a S & W j frame .38 2 inch. Had that gun for over 40 years. Never pocket carried it. It was mostly a off duty gun and cc after retirement from police dept.
I sold it a year or so ago.
