I will second a Kahr PM9. It is what I carry most of the time. Two things I would suggest with it though. #1 is a Houge HandAll Jr. it adds a little extra palm swell in a big hand. #2 a pinky extension on the 6 rd magazine. Found it helps with over all control.

I like the Glocks -- I have a Glock 27 I carry (.40, but the 26 is 9mm)

Glock 26 for the time being. Awesome on the belt, and works OK for pocket carry. I sold the 642 because it had the same "foot print" as the glock with less "bang". Considering a much smaller gun (LCP or S&W Bodyguard?) for pocket carry.

I would have to concur with the Glock 26...although I recently had the chance to shoot an EMP, and rather liked it. I think it would also be a candidate.

I've got a CS9 ... remarkably nice trigger ... can't believe S&W don't make 'em no more. Image

The Kel-Tec pf-9 Fits into my right rear pocket almost as easily as the .380 did.

Fits my hand perfectly, a steal at $275. I want another one.

Hands down, the HK P7. Accurate, quick reset, safe, and well made.

Kahr PM9. I also use it as a back up gun when needed.
