Joe, my buddy has had a keltec 380 for several years now and loves it. He had it reworked over by keltec and it has never had an issue. Personally, I would go the bodyguard or Ruger route for a pocket 380.

Is a 380 worth having in your pocket? Well, it's better than a thumb up your hoohah when you need it.
My Wife picked the Sig P238 when we went shopping for her pistol. I wanted her to have something she would carry, rather than something she would make excuses not to... It has worked out great, then the Sig P938 came along. With the P938 being about identical in size save for a slightly longer slide/barrel (we are talking 3/4 of an inch if that...) it makes for a great compact and pocket 9mm She still carries the P238, but I use the P938 as a BUG in either front pocket of everything from jeans to cargo shorts.

Sorry for the crappy pics, but here is the size differences between the P238 (.380) and the P938 (9mm):

I have never fired a G and have no interest in having a loaded gun of any kind in my pocket, especially one with no safety. I have a 9 and a 45 SA XDs but I am unwilling to carry them. Should I be jumped by some scumbag I do not want a just pull the trigger situation in my pocket or in my holster. I am way to ignorant to be posting anything in this thread other than please explain this to me. Dennis
Dennis, these are 1911 format and I carry the P938 regularly in the pocket in a holster of course (Panther Concealment Panther Cub) I find it just as safe as on the hip IWB/OWB carry, just am always conscious of where the muzzle is pointing when I am seated.
