Then something even more interesting happened. Across the firearms marketplace, pocket-size pistols ruled. 380 LCP, the first concealed carry ultra-compact pistol the company had ever produced and a very "Kel-Tec-like" product. If there was a breakthrough moment, it probably came in 2008 when Ruger introduced its tiny polymer-frame. It didn't take long for more established name-brand makers to read the writing on the wall. 380 Auto (and smaller-caliber) pistols, led by manufacturers such as Kel-Tec. The result, beginning around 2003, was a huge surge in sales of small, double-action-only, polymer-frame. The primary concerns of these first-timers are simple: reliability, convenience, ease of use, weight and, of course, cost. The consequence is that citizens by the millions have acquired concealed carry licenses, and many more have, for the first time, purchased small handguns for defense.īecause these buyers are not experienced shooters, they are largely unaware (even immune) to the arguments that have raged for decades among firearms experts over the "best" handgun designs or the most "appropriate" cartridge choices. This has resulted in a rapid acceleration of state and local legislation to the point where, today, 49 of our 50 states allow some type of concealed firearm carry by ordinary citizens. The reasons are complex and represent both a trend in consumer demand for concealed carry handguns and, in general, attitudes about the 9mm cartridge by firearms experts and ordinary citizens alike.įoremost among these reasons is a fundamental shift in attitude among Americans in the post-9/11 and post-Katrina world about the need to have a firearm in their home or on their person for personal (and family) protection. Of course, there were pocket-size 9mms on the market before, but this category of handguns has now suddenly gone mainstream, with every major manufacturer adding new entries to a rapidly growing list. There has been an explosion in the availability of small 9mm semi-autos. So if I use the word "pocket" at all in reference to a handgun, I prefer the term "pocket-size." KST.I've never liked the term "pocket pistol." Yes, I often carry a pistol in my jacket pocket, but to call a gun a pocket pistol implies that it is specifically designed to be carried there. “Show Me the Money 9” is set to premiere on October 16 at 11 p.m. Swings previously participated as a producer for several seasons of “Show Me the Money” but will be returning as a contestant for the first time since the second season.
