Pocket .2X
Are they coming back? Well, they never went away but they weren’t as seemingly popular as the pocket 380s.

Hell, if they can sell something as useless as a .410 revolver…

I’m surprised they don’t make pocket .25s with double stack mags. The individual rounds are so small you won’t necessarily have to give up a lot of space. And .25 is rimless unlike .32acp or .22lr.
Yes the round sucks, but if you give me 15-20 of them in very small package with little recoil…

I know a couple of our Sweet Old Ladies up here on the North Coast who recently got there CHPs by taking a class using .22LR’s. No Minimum Caliber Restrictions on what one has to use for the Training Portion. Also, notice this Taurus’ update of the old Beretta Design. The Tip-Up barrel allows Condition One w/o having to rack the slide, which can be hard on Elderly Arthritic Hands. Trust me, I would NOT want to be a Goblin facing one of those Ladies.
Besides, it beats the Hell out of a Lit Candle.

I’d carry something like that as a pocket backup. Why not?

Just a nit-pick that 25 ACP is semi-rimmed.
Oh, and that Taurus is one of the ugliest pocket pistols I have ever seen.

It would be good for dispatching varmints in my trap. The buckmark is kinda big to lug around. Thing is, what with the new .22 LCR, I don’t know which one I would want more…

I just bought a Beretta 21A last year. Its hardly a serious defensive gun (might be a reasonable backup gun) but its fun and I like it.
Oh and it isn’t an ugly buggy Taurus.

D’oh .25acp is semi-rimmed. My mistake. Well that solves that idea with a double stack then.

There were no pocket .380s when the pocket .2xs were seemingly popular.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Um, I have some double stack .22LR mags that would take issue with your expectations of the semi rimless cartridges.

A pointy stick would be cheaper.

i bet Rick Perry would carry one. :p
January 9th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
oh, and i’ve shot one of these recently. they’re so much better than the old Taurii that there’s really no comparison.

Ever been attacked by a gang of 5 year olds? Sometimes you need 20 or 30 rounds of 22.
