It ain't just the pistol that needs to be accurate, especially with pocket pistol size.
If that pistol thing doesn't work out, you could try a fishing pole and carrot.

On a gun with a 3" sight radius and a two-finger grip on the frame, I'd think the "Indian" would be all the more important than the "arrow".
I was shooting my SIG P938 at 15-20 yards yesterday, and was extremely happy to be hitting the 8" bull while on the clock; even with no time pressure, I doubt I'd be able to hit a 1" target consistently at 25 yards, though I think the SIG is very accurate.

Eh, maybe first see how well you do with perhaps a .22 Ruger or Smith
auto with decent sights or try a snub .38 revolver with fixed sights at 25 yards.
You can rent 'em at most indoor ranges.
Never been a fan of the PPK though I admit James Bond could outshoot me
any day of the week with one.
By the way, I hate the recoil of the blowback PPK and its heavy trigger. I won't mention how the slide nips the hand as it flies back in recoil.

I've never seen a pocket pistol that didn't downsize its grip to something only a child or woman would be comfortable with. The first shot isn't the problem as much as the following shots are.....recoil tends to force the shooter to "re-grip".
The best semi-auto I've found is the Boberg. The reason it out shines others is the grip sits deep into the web of the hand, combined with the bull pup action the recoil is absorbed and controllable for follow up shots.

I would say you are going to want a single action with a super light trigger pull and small in caliber, basically .22 to .32.
Why does it have to be a pocket pistol and not just a smaller-ish pistol?

The two pocket pistols, three actually, that I own that are 25 yard groupers are my S&W M60, PPK & PPK/S (.7.65acp and .380acp). The third, while not a true pocket pistol, is my Kimber Ultra Carry .45acp. All three of these have shot "bunny head", or tighter, groups at 25 yards for me. They are a little more difficult to shoot accurately than similar 4" pistols and revolvers but not as difficult as some would believe. But I have small hands and all these fit me like a glove.
Pocket pistols are intended for up close self defense where accuracy is not an issue. I don't think I would even attempt to shoot a bad guy at 25 yards with my pocket pistol as I would most likely miss and cause him to turn his attention to me. If you want accuracy at 25 yard, use a larger gun.

How big is your pocket? At that range, something like a Ruger SR22, Bersa Thunder 22, or snub revolver in .22lr or .22Mag.

I have taken rabbits at that distance and several yards more with a S&W 638 j-frame. Used handloads ranging from 200 grain round nose to 148 rain wadcutter which I had been practicing with a lot. I am positive there are others here that might be able to push the range out a little farther, so it's definitely doable.
Zorro, a bit big for most pockets, but perhaps accurate out of proportion to their size are the S&W 3914 and 3913 9MM semi-autos. I have .38 Spcl. and 9MM J-Frames too, and agree they are accurate little revolvers. I've seen very good shooting done with a J-Frame, but admit that 25 yards would be tough for me. In this case, it's the shooter, not the gun. I'm pretty sure I could scare Cottontails at 25 yds
S&W made some 2" J frames in .22 with an adjustable rear sight. I expect they are deadly accurate if the shooter can do his part. I once had a 3" Model 36, 2" groups off sandbags no problem but standing on my hind feet was another story. I would try to find the .22 and learn to shoot it. Most of us can't do 2" 25 yard groups off hand with a 6" K-22. You do need adjustable sights.
