Pocket guns?

What do you guys know about pocket guns? I've done a little research and I've found the Kel-Tec PF9 and the Walter PPS, but I don't believe either one of those have a manual safety. What other options are there?

Currently we have a sterling .25 auto that my grandparents gave to us, but I worry about its reliability due to its age. I field stripped it and cleaned it this past week, but have not shot it. Also the spring in the magazine is very weak. However the size of the gun is perfect, even on her small frame there isn't a bulge if she slips in the front of her waist band.

I'm a big fan of the Walther PPS. I have it in 9mm as a backup gun.

Also, Kahr makes some excellent polymer pocket guns that are very nice and accurate for their size.

And no need for a manual safety. The gun should not discharge by accident, and there will never be a time that you pull the trigger and don't mean it.

That's my suggestion, as well. I've had a PM9 for 2-3 years now and its worked out great as a pocket gun.

The Rohrbaugh R9 is the only other pocket gun I would consider.

How is the PPK .380? Is it a good option, or better left for Bond to carry?

I'm sure it's not what you had in mind, but this fits in your pocket too...

kcturbo is an unknown quantity at this point
S & W airweight hammerless revolver. Very light (alloy frame) and no hammer to hang up when pulling it out of your pocket.
