Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner did this one a month ago. I like the guy and appreciate his serious approach to handgun and ammo testing. After watching this one, I may just take his advice and try a Keltec P-32. I have the Smith Bodyguard 2.0 .380 and like it a lot, but still find it a bit obnoxious to carry in a pocket.

Also find these Handgun Hero dimensional comparisons useful.

Re: Pocket .22 review
Got a bodyguard 2.0 also , cargo pants work well with a pocket holster .
Son in law got me a iwb kydex holster for it , but I feel it defeats the purpose of a micro compact.
Would like kahr to produce a 32 acp .

Thanks Bill. Just last week I started looking at the smallest pocket guns again.

I have carried a NAA mini in .22 Magnum at one time. It is louder than I care to be around.

Sig P238 .380 in a Galco pocket holster. Never leave home without it.
Re: Pocket .22 review
I pretty much always have a "small" gun in addition to my regular carry.
Most often it is
Sometimes when my wife isn't carrying it as her backup
And for any sweaty or beach/salt water fishing

Re: Pocket .22 review
My "small always on me" gun, which slips easily into any pocket, is this one:
I had the action worked so it is easier to cock, and being a .38 Special, it should thump pretty good across the distance I would fire it. Living in the south, during summer, this is sometime all I can carry comfortably (and truly concealed) in a pair of shorts.

I like the NAA Mini in 22 WRM and the Beretta tip-up in 22 LR for 'smallest possible' choices.
However, my daughter likes her Ruger LCP in 380, which isn't much bigger (if at all) than the Beretta.
Where I live and with my clothing style though, I pretty much always have a full-size semiauto (Taurus PT92 or ParaOrd P14) if out-and-about, or if on-the-homestead, I'll have whatever revolver hasn't had enough love lately.

Re: Pocket .22 review
Certainly something to consider.
I’m trying not to drop below the.32 H&R in a J frame. But I have to tell you that the Ruger LCP has a certain appeal at times.
But I can’t get a pocket gun to shoot better than this.
