RELATED STORY 5 Shooting Drills to Maximize Speed Accuracy Power These Pocket Pistols Can Be Used Over the Chimney Bond Arms Backup The Bond Arms Backup is an all-business derringer that offers concealment and maximum durability. This pistol is one of the smallest and lightest Bond Arms guns. It features all stainless steel construction, although it might seem like the frame is made of polymer. Bond Arms has bead-blasted all surfaces to eliminate glare and the frame is blackened. The rubber grips provide a better hold in inclement weather conditions. The 2.5-inch barrels come in either.45 ACP (or 9mm) sizes.

It has a trigger reach that is similar to Glock’s larger 9mm pistols. The G43 is extremely reliable and can be used for concealed carry or backup duty. It measures 6.26 inches in length and 4.25 inches high. The Glock is small and powerful, weighing only 17.99 ounces when unloaded.

Kahr’s contributions in concealed carry pistol design are highlighted by his innovations. The PM9, a 14-ounce, DAO-fired striker-fired PM9, features a lightweight polymer frame and a stainless steel slide. It rides on inserts of steel and has a polygonal rifled barrel for exceptional accuracy. The gun is ideal for concealed-carry and easy to use. The Kahr trigger system is used by the PM9 to provide a smooth, light, and stage-free trigger stroke. It takes 0.7 inches to rotate a cam, unlock a spring-loaded striker safety, and draw the striker to full-cock before it fires a round. The drift adjustable night sights allow for quick and efficient target acquisition.
https://www.kahr.com North American Arms Black Widow This is the smallest pocket pistol that you will find for your kit. It will most likely be from North American Arms. The version I chose has a 2-inch barrel and a fully adjustable Millet back sight. It is also a conversion model and comes with both.22 LR cylinders and.22 Magnum cylinders. Each cylinder holds five cartridges. The cylinder must be removed to load the revolver. One advantage of the Black Widow’s “pull-down” pin latch is that it can be pulled down to release the cylinder. This sturdy gun is made from stainless steel and features large rubber grips. I would recommend the.22 Magnum cylinder to carry outdoors and the.22 LR cylinder to practice and plink. A laser sight can be purchased to replace the cylinder pin latch.
https://www.northamericanarms.com Remington RM380 This diminutive pistol is a mating of steel and aluminum alloy. It weighs in at 12.2 ounces when unloaded and has a 6+1 capacity for.380 ACP ammunition. It features a smooth, 10-pound DAO trigger; an ambidextrous magazine-release; and nylon grips made of glass-filled nylon that are checkered like its frontstrap.
https://www.remarms.com Ruger LCP II Ruger has completely redesigned its renowned LCP in .380 ACP. The LCP II has a single-action trigger pull that is crisp and quick. It also features a safety toggle in the blade-style that must be fully depressed to fire the pistol. Shooters can enjoy a lighter trigger pull with no need for a safety switch. The slide has new contouring to make it easier to track, and the grip frame has been retextured to give you a secure and comfortable grip. To spread recoil forces more effectively, the frame is larger. Ruger also added taller fixed sights with serrated rear facings to reduce glare.
https://www.ruger.com SCCY CPX-3
SCCY makes pocket pistols as small as 9mm. Now, SCCY has entered the.380 ACP market. The company’s new CPX-3 has a unique feature called the “Roebuck quad lock” system. The barrel locks to slide in four different areas, giving the barrel and slide a solid feel for increased accuracy. The CPX-3 is lightweight at just 15 ounces when unloaded, thanks to its polymer frame and stainless-steel slide. Laser etching is used to reduce glare on the slide’s top. It is available in either a matte or black nitride finish. The factory sets the DAO trigger for a pull weight 8 pounds.

Today, the Model 317 is the only S&W that retains the Kit Gun moniker. It is still built on the J frame, and its aluminum alloy frame with cylinder makes it only 11.7 ounces empty. It has a 3.-inch barrel and measures 7.19 inches in length. The rear sight can be adjusted to adjust the sight, which is paired with a Hi-Viz fiber-optic sight. The revolver is matte silver with black synthetic grips. The Model 317 isn’t a six-shooter like its Model 34 predecessor. Instead, it has a cylinder with eight charges holes for.22 LR ammunition.
