fuzD.  Yes it does feel funny in the beginning.  I wear a fannypack and had read that it shouts "GUN!" but I'm 63 and nobody pays this old fart any attention even walking on the sidewalk in front of the courthouse and near the police station.

I believe you mean more readily available shots (greater capacity) than more firepower. ;)

Yeah, I can just carry a couple of extra "clips" in my pocket for rapid reloads instead of depending on the speedloader for the .357.

Thanks guys! Good stuff. It sounds like I need at least one of each and some I hadn't thought of.

Being in CA, I don't get to consider CCW very often, but my parents moved to UT and I have a permit there. I finally got to break in the permit and found that most of my choices were just a little big for summer in UT, or my CA wardrobe was what wasn't accommodating. That was my first experience carrying CCW legally and I was wondering if anyone else feels uncomfortable walking into a convenience store that has police inside, while carrying. I really felt like a newbie, but avoided doing a pat-check. …and talk about a State that allows you to carry virtually anywhere!

The first time you CCW, even with a small gun, you feel like you are carrying a Gatling gun and every eye is on you. Most "normal" folks wouldn't notice a dead skunk under your arm, for the most part, as they go about their way. Most of the folks that would truly notice (if you could be spotted anyway) are CCW themselves.
It gets better with time.

+1 Peg. I noticed a guy at the Fresh Market in the "Kahr" ballcap, most folks don't even know what that represents, but me, well I was wearing my TAPCO shirt, and we both looked at each other and nodded. 8)

I'm looking for a carry/pocket gun with a little more oomph. I really like the mini-Glocks, but can't decide on caliber. I also like the LCR, but maybe there are better choices I haven't considered. What do you like?
The 40 is VERY snappy out of the 27 so the 26 *should* be better for recoil control. If recoil is an issue for you, go with the 26.
If not, carry the 27 with a smile. I do and have for many years.

I have my California CCW and now that the temps are back down into the 80's I can carry my G27 OWB with an untucked shirt over a tee, but during the summer months its my .357 J frame in my front pocket.

even when it was 115 this summer, I had a 1991 on my hip.  I'm a skinny guy, but IWB and a lose shirt works very well.

If your choices are between the GLOCKs I'd choose the 27 because it fires a bigger bullet. But since you want a pocket gun, my choice is a J-frame in .357 Mag. My personal choice is a S&W 649 in .357 Mag. The G26/27 seem a bit too bulky to me for a pocket gun. Some people pull it off great, but for pocket I'd go with a 5 shot .357 revolver. I wouldn't choose a .38 Spl. gun. When ammo shortages come around, .38 Special is one of the 4 calibers that you can't find at all (even harder to find is hollow points in those calibers). In some cases, you can still find .357 mag hollow points. With .357 you can still shoot .38 Spl in it, or you have the option to shoot Magnum rounds in it. If it doesn't have to be a pocket gun, I'd choose the G27. But since you said pocket pistol, I voted Other. I'm told the Ruger LCR is a great gun, but I wouldn't choose a .38 Spl.
