Just thought of another, don’t think it has been mentioned yet, the S&W 39, well deserved reputation as well.
Love my 39-2. And its super accurate. It shoots like a S&W model 52 target gun. Its a little big for a pocket gun even though I read and article many years ago by Col. Charles Askins who called it a large pocket gun. He must buy his pants at Duluth Trading Company for it to be a pocket gun. I have a Walther PP in 32acp that is a DA/SA pocket gun. Not that I would rely on a 32acp unless it was all I had.
I always liked the DA/SA set up myself. A safe way to carry a loaded gun and after the first shot very quick follow up shots. One Ayoob article stated that was why the FBI choose that system for so long. The first shot would not be fired by accident and then the rest of the shots were being fired by an agent in a fight for his life with a light SA trigger pull. Made sense to me.
