Need some suggestions here... I am looking for something smaller than my Glock 26 for summer carry. I'd like something pocketable in 9mm flavor but am willing to step down to .380 if need be.

So far I have been thinking:

Kahr CM9
Walther PPS

Bersa Thunder 380CC
Ruger LCP

Thoughts?

The Kahr has well-known feeding problems and tends to be quite finicky about ammo. My buddy is a police firearms trainer and got the Kahr PM9 to carry as a a BUG. So far, it's been back to Kahr twice and he still hasn't been able to get it to run reliably enough to carry on duty. Get the Walther. I have two of them (one is wife's) and they're excellent.

I do like the Walther but I'm not quite sure if it'd fit in a front pocket?

I know the Kahr CM/PM series will fit right in your pocket, and yes, I've heard of the feeding issues but in my research it seems like they all get resolved with a 200+ round break-in or being returned to Kahr for service. I did a lot of research with these because I was going to buy a CW9 before I ultimately chose the G26.

Of course the LCP would fit no problem. Or even a Sig P238 if I wanted to get all fancy.

Nah, I wouldn't call the PPS a pocket gun, but the LC9 and PM9 are only a little better in that regard. If I wanted a pocket gun, pretty much stuck with a .380. I have a couple that work well in that regard but I've gone pretty much 9mm only.

In the 9mm category, I ruled out the PM9 and the LC9 for reliability reasons. I gave a little bit up in size for the PPS, but no regrets.

PPS vs LC9

PPS, LC9, PM9

The ruger and the kahr are both very good options. What about the LC9

m4a1mustang · 05-30-2011, 07:55 PM

Didn't think about the LC9. I will have to give that one a look as well.

c41006 · 05-30-2011, 07:59 PM

It is .84" longer and .90" taller so it might be a bit too big but certainly worth a look

xd nice
