As you can guess, from my username, I'm a Glock guy too, carry my G26 everywhere, but in summer, shorts etc it's occasionally still a bit bulky, depending on exactly what I'm wearing, so in those situations I carry my SW 442 (airweight, +p hollow points) ... Only 5 rounds but at least I'm carrying versus praying.. And it's (or, I should say "I am") SURPRISINGLY accurate from a short distance.... and it's "tiny" enough to even fit in the "cargo" pocket of my favorite shorts...
Not a bad gun. Heavy for its size, but the trade off is real sights and low recoil. I don't recommend changing the grips. A friend has one and swapped grips. The trigger started doing weird things like not resetting.

I have an LC9. Love the size, hate the trigger. I picked up the Galloway upgrades recently but haven't installed them yet. Should make a big difference. In the mean time I've been pocket carrying a Kahr PM9 which I love.
Ruger LC9 is my choice. IWB covered with a t shirt.
I've gat a p238 as a pocket pistol n the things great,takes a bit to get use to the single action but it's a good safety never had any problems with it.... I got it to replace the bodyguard380 which I had no trust in after I took it to the range and had multiple feeding problems after a few rounds. That and it was a hard gun to handle with very small buttons and the laser was way off after 5 rounds

Same here! My only guess is that guys that can are on the heavier/larger size to begin with. I even tried when I had my BG380 which is almost the smallest gun you can get in MA, and it was still too bulky for me. I already front carry a wallet due to some back issues, so it's not like I'm new to having a little added bulk in my front pocket anyway. I still want a new small summer carry like the 938, but just for easier IWB, or appendix concealment with lighter apparel.
Thinking about trading my shield 9 for either a p938 or p238...
Is the p938 available in MA now?
I like the p238 for the smaller fit/form, but I just cannot imagine having to buy/stack yet another unobtainium caliber.

It is "available" now in MA in theory, but finding one in stock is another story. That being said, I'm on the list at a LGS for one. It is twice as expensive as your shield hough, in case you didn't know...
The P938 was great for me. Lightweight and fits just about anywhere. Good for 25 feet all day long, just watch certain hollowpoint ammo

When you say "was great for me", does that mean that you sold it? If so, why? Just curious because I'm considering one of these as soon as my lgs can get them in.
