I personally carry a Sig P239 in .40SW, I highly recommend it as it is one of the most accurate guns on the market out of the box.

Recently I shot a Kahr P9 at Bobs. It is small, thin, and very accurate. It is chambered in 9mm, and I think with a +P load, it would be fine as a carry gun.

I think one of my buddies carries a Keltec P3AT chambered in .380ACP. It is small, but I had a really hard time hitting the paper with it. It jumps out of your hand really badly. My bud told me that it takes practice, but you can overcome that problem.

I'm partial to the Sig, but I'd buy the Kahr in a heartbeat. JMHO

I always trust my sturdy and faithful 1911 .45 ACP. It has the accuracy and knock down power you may want.

I would agree with you considering how much I love my Sig GSR, but as a conceal carry weapon, it is a bit large.

If I were to recommend a CCW to a new carrier, I'd recommend the Kahr first, the P239 second. The Kahr is the perfect size and in .9mm it is the lowest end of the spectrum but satisfactory for protection.
