<title>Pocket Pistols (Modern Type)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like the old Colt Pocket Pistols and have copies of a couple ... the 1862 Pocket Police .36 and the 1849 Pocket .31 ... but these are little more modern than those.</p>
<p>Colt Detective Special .38 Special<br />

<p>Smith &amp; Wesson 340 .357 Magnum<br />

<p>Amazing how small that Colt Detective Special is .. and it is a 6 shot.<br />

<p>You can see it's really not much larger than the S&amp;W.  The Rossi .357 in the photo would require a rather large pocket as it's a S&amp;W K-frame.  Think Model 19.</p>

When I was younger I had 2 of these that I carried... Astra Cub .22 Short.  Little bitty thing would fit in your shirt pocket.</p>

And I carried an Excam .38 Special derringer for many years.  Long before you could get a license to carry.  It fit well in my pocket or my boot.</p>
<p>About 1985 I borrowed a friends Beretta .25 and carried that in a belly band holster when we went to Disneyland in LA ... I wasn't going anyplace with my family without some kind of protection and the .25 was a lot better than nothing.</p>
