Pocket Pistols
I'm in the market for a "pocket pistol" to carry during the times when it just isn't feasible to strap on my Glock 22 (work, church, etc.). It needs to be small, slim, lightweight and at least .380 caliber (I don't want a .32 or .25). I'd prefer an auto because I don't really like the bulk of a wheel gun, but I'm not completely opposed to revolvers.
Any suggestions??

I carried a Walther PPK-S .380 as an ankle gun for years and loved it.
very light-wieght, reliable gun, though I had to have the feed ramp polished and ground, as it initialy had a hard time feeding any type of soft nosed round, due to a very steep ramp angle. I replaced the hard plastic grips with Pachmyers as well.

Pocket pistols
Hoss,
I had an AMT "Backup" .380 several years ago that was a perfect pocket pistol; it shot well, fed almost any brand and style of ammo I put through it, and was pretty accurate for a small semi-auto. I know some folks that have had the Colt Pony in .380 as well, and they were happy with that. There have been many different kinds since then, but I have no experience with them so won't bother mentioning them. Good luck.

Wasn't too long ago that some dude went into a church here in my area and killed a bunch of kids in the youth group.

I read a book once that had a line in it that has always stuck with me...." the places where weapons are forbidden is generaly the place you will most need a weapon".......
