Best Conceal & Carry 9mm Pistol
i have been looking at several different concealable pistols and i want a 9mm, but so far, everything i am finding are supposedly double action only.
now, let me make sure i am understanding something here. i know with the kel-tec p3at pistol, you have to pull the trigger all the way back each and every time you fire it? is that considered double action only?
i am just curious as to what everyone's experiences may be at this time with 9mm concealable pistols? i am wanting a 9mm as small as possible with the single action (where you just pull the slide back the first time and then it is a minimal trigger pull for each following round).
do you have any suggestions?
please help asap.
thank you.

XD9sc of course.... If your looking for a pocket gun then I've got nothing for you.
The XD9sc is nothing short of a superb IWB gun.

The offerings from Kahr would be my first suggestion. More expensive than the Kel-Tec's, but of very good quality. They would fit the pocket or IWB need.

Kahr P9
I love my Kahr P9 http://www.kahr.com/PA-1_9mm_p.html
although it is double action only. It's a tad big for pocket carry, but you forget it's there in an Uncle Mikes neoprene IWB.
Mine has the Tritiums. I bought it used from a dealer and had a few issues with it at first, but Kahr replaced the extractor and tuned it up ( free ) and she's super dependable now. I does not like Winchester Silvertip JHP though, they are too long.
A friend of mine has the PM40, and pocket carries it all the time.
I have a P3AT for pocket carry when I'm so inlclined.

Not a 9mm, but if you really want a perfect small carry gun, get a Walther PPK in .380. If you're not into "stopping power" hysteria this gun would fit your needs quite well:
Reliable, safe and accurate.
