Favorite Mousegun Thread

AdamSean · September 27, 2008, 01:42 AM

I like most prefer to carry a beefy .45 auto, but there are plenty of times when I can't. So it then comes down to the Mousegun. I have always had a Kel-Tec. I started with the P-32, but when they came out years ago, I traded it in for a P-3AT. Whenever I leave for work or have to worry about deep concealment, the 'Noisy Cricket' is in my pocket doing it's job. Which of the mouseguns do some of you carry? Which one's do you think are favored over the other out there and why?

Here is my baby.

My 'always' is an NAA mini; its back-up is a Taurus PT22.

darkgael · September 27, 2008, 04:23 AM

A little Bernardelli because it is virtually invisible when in my pocket. It has never jammed on me.

jehu · September 27, 2008, 07:32 AM

Rohrbaugh R9.

I carry a Seecamp, but I confess, my favorite mousegun is this Walther TPH.

mk70ss · September 27, 2008, 08:11 AM

I carry this Beretta .25. Throw it in your pocket and forget it.

PSP · September 27, 2008, 08:29 AM

mk70ss,
What brand is that ammo?

mk70ss · September 27, 2008, 09:09 AM

Winchester PowerPoint .25 ACP.

Microgunner · September 27, 2008, 09:11 AM

Kel-Tec P3AT for me too. Stoked with Cor-Bon's.

ligonierbill · September 27, 2008, 10:11 AM

Can't say it's my favorite, but it's my only, Kel-Tec P-32. And I bought it yesterday. I was really looking for a Seecamp, and still am, but the Ohio distributor was out. Anyway, the guy at Vance's cleaned it for me, and I drove straight to the range. My surprise--the thing is fun to shoot and I shot surprisingly well. I've always been a revolver guy, but this has me thinking about a nice compact 9 mm. Still want the Seecamp, too. Is there a cure for this?

hoytinak · September 27, 2008, 10:22 AM

My current favorite is my LCP. The LCP is a little bigger than my Seecamp but being lighter it carries better to me. I carry it in a pocket holster made by rkbaholsters.com (stmcelroy on this forum), his holster and the LCP make a great combo.

same as you bro.

Bond Arms Texas Defender 45 Colt.

.351winchester · September 27, 2008, 03:49 PM

I'd love a Colt Mustang Pocketlite, but the LCP I owned briefly this summer (only pocket gun ever had) was sweet, everything hoped it would be, just needed quick cash in a hurry.
Mak's are great guns too, too big for what it is these days for CCW but I'd take a Russian over a real Walther PPK

ElectricHellfire · September 27, 2008, 04:42 PM

Beretta 21

Kreyzhorse · September 27, 2008, 06:05 PM

Ruger LCP. Great pocket guns for those times when you don't feel like messing with something bigger.

I own 2 Mustangs, both stainless, one Pocketlite, one steel framed. I truly admire these little pistols but being single action don't feel safe dropping them into my pocket w/ a loaded chamber. And let's face it, an unloaded gun is just an expensive rock. I don't like being required to chamber a round to get into action, too slow and may already be wounded. I prefer DA which makes more sense to me in a micro pistol. Maybe a Colt Pony?

Elvishead · September 28, 2008, 03:35 AM

Don't have a favorite, but I'm getting a NIB Beretta 21A 22LR next week.

My first "Mouse Gun"

Mice are scared of pinke, don't ya know

I carry a Walther PPK/S in .380 and love it.

SugarmillMan · September 28, 2008, 08:43 AM

A Colt Pony Pocketlite makes a wonderful mousegun and carries easily in a front pocket holster. Reliable and accurate. Most of them require a trigger job to reduce the ugly trigger pull to something more reasonable.

great scot · September 28, 2008, 09:17 AM

...when I'm not carrying a Smith 642. It's a little flashy, only a .25, and old, but it's reliable, light, flat and it points well. And if it's good enough for James Bond.

deercop · September 28, 2008, 09:38 AM

Seecamps.

jetman · September 28, 2008, 10:22 AM

I chose the Rohrbaugh in 9mm for my pocket pistol. Same basic size as the Ruger LCP/Kel Tec P3AT but in the stronger 9mm round.

R9 vs. LCP size comparison

**4V50 Gary** · September 28, 2008, 03:01 PM

The Beretta in 22 LR.
