Hi guys..

Which gun is the smallest 9mm? My friend was asking me and I told them check out Kel-tec PF-9 or Kahr PM9.. Anything else??

Haven’t seen one yet but I hear the New Springfield EMP (Enhanced Mico Pistol) in suppose to be very small.

Very nice looking pistol... I wonder how much it'd be??? And, how would it compare to XD...sub compact?

Judging by the comparison pics of the EMP to the Micro Compact .45, I really don't think the EMP is going to be considered one of the smallest 9mms, but we'll see. Without question, THE smallest 9mm is the Rohrbaugh R9 and R9S. Unfortunately for most buyers, they're a grand, and all range reports I've read show the gun to be ammo sensitive and unforgiving in the limp-wrist department. I don't normally worry about the limp-wrist issues, but you never know what position/circumstances you may be forced to fire your weapon from. Those cons outweigh the pros in my book, so I decided to go with something bigger, cheaper, and a lot more forgiving.

Their R9 doesn't even have sights!
I've also got a problem with any gun that recommends chamging the recoil spring after every 500 rounds.
I believe that the new KelTec PF9 is now the smallest and lightest.

So has anyone ever shot a KelTec? If so what does it feel like and would it be worth the money?

You beat me to it. I remember reading about the Rohrbaugh R9 a few months ago, but I couldn't remember the damn name to save my life

The link you posted doesn't work, so here's the fix: http://www.rohrbaughfirearms.com/

The PF9 doesn't seem to be out yet. Until then....

The R9 has no sights. The R9S is the model that has sights. Check the link above!

The PF9 is out. I have handled it, but havent shot it. Its nice. I will get one eventuly. If your interested in a .40 there is a coversion for the other kel-tec 9mm. Its hard to come by, as they pulled it due to limp wristing problems. I is the smallest lightest .40 that i have ever seen.
