I have always been fan of Jeff's admonishments and a .45 ACP was my choich. When I don't listen to the Col like I did for decades I slip a Ruger LC9S (sweet trigger btw, and accurate)... in my jeans/shorts front pocket. Derived from the LCP lineage and a good, cheap, "disposable" pocket spoon (not a Colt or S&W, etc). I have zero experience with any other wimpy pocket spoons fwiw.... but I do like mine
