In American English, a pocket pistol is any small, pocket-sized semi-automatic pistol (or less commonly referencing either derringers, or small revolvers), and is suitable for concealed carry in either a coat, jacket, or trouser pocket. Pocket pistols are sometimes categorized as smaller than sub-compact pistols, but the distinction is not clear cut as some small sub-compact pistols may be categorized as pocket pistols, and some large pocket pistols may be classified as sub-compact pistols.

  • Poltsikoko pistola pistola erdiautomatiko bat da, poltsiko batean gordetzeko bezain txikia (edo, bakanago, errebolber txikiak edo derringerrak), beroki, jaka edo praka batean ezkutatuta eramateko egokia. Poltsikoko pistolak ezagunak izan ziren Estatu Batuetan 1960ko eta 1970eko hamarkadetan, estatu gehienek ezkutuko armak eramatea mugatzen edo debekatzen zuten legeak onartu zituzten arte. Hala ere, 1980ko eta 1990eko hamarkadetan su armen lizentzia lege berriak onartzeak Estatu Batuetan poltsikoko pistolaren ospea berpiztu zuen, eta suzko arma txiki, sinple, fidagarri eta ezkutuan eramandako merkatu berriak sortu zituen. Erabilera orokorrean, poltsikoko pistola terminoa deskriptibo hutsa da, baina "sagu-pistola" (batez ere kalibre txikienekoentzat erabiltzen dena) peioratiboa izan ohi da. (eu)
  • In American English, a pocket pistol is any small, pocket-sized semi-automatic pistol (or less commonly referencing either derringers, or small revolvers), and is suitable for concealed carry in either a coat, jacket, or trouser pocket. Pocket pistols are sometimes categorized as smaller than sub-compact pistols, but the distinction is not clear cut as some small sub-compact pistols may be categorized as pocket pistols, and some large pocket pistols may be classified as sub-compact pistols. Pocket pistols were popular in the United States until the 1960s and 1970s, when most states passed laws limiting or prohibiting the carry of concealed weapons. However, the passage of "shall issue" firearms license laws in the 1980s and 1990s, resulted in a resurgence in the popularity of pocket pistol in the United States, creating new markets for small, simple, reliable, concealed carry firearms. In general use, the term pocket pistol is purely descriptive, but "mouse gun" (used especially for those of the smallest calibers) is often a pejorative. Likewise, pocket pistols, due to their small size, often are lumped in with Saturday night specials, another pejorative term, which are typically inexpensive small caliber handguns. (en)
