Looking for reviews/opinions on 9mms for pocket carry.
Thank you.
 
I originally was going to recommend a Kahr PM9 which was the smallest 9mm I ever had until I realized this was in wheelguns. I also used to have an LCR in 9mm. Although it was fun, it required moonclips. Because moonclips can bend and have some issues I personally wouldn’t rely on them for self defense reloading.

Just the other day I saw a video on this. Maybe it was lucky gunner? Anyway, whoever it was said they kept the rounds in the gun on a clip, and carried a speed strip for the reload. After the first 5 it's easy to eject them all then load the next 5 off the strip, and if you've fired all 10 rounds and are still in trouble, the fact that you have to poke the spent cases out of the cylinder is probably not going to be relevant to you anymore.

I have one of those. And the .40 and .45 versions. Bought them because I wanted another way to shoot the ammo I already had.

No moon clips to worry about, but I also haven’t found any speedloaders that work. I don’t carry them often, but when I do I either have speed strips in a pocket and/or it’s a BUG and I figure I can reload from my 2nd mag if absolutely necessary...and if that’s the case I’m probably in more trouble than I can handle without getting back to the vehicle for more firepower.
 
At one time Taurus made a .380 and 9mm revolver. They were super tiny, especially that .380. Mike and I had several of the 9mms and sent them back to Taurus twice and then sold them. They never got them to work and finally discontinued them. Taurus has had some really nice tiny revolvers like the VIEW. I still have one of those. it weighs 11 oz Loaded with 5 Hot Loaded Plated Full Wadcutters. Taurus needs to charge about $50 more for their products and get them working before sending them out for R&D.
 
If you go without moonclips, I found this useful:




I also bought longer-than-needed strips for the 9 & 40 and leave a blank spot between the pairs and before the last single.
