One for the pocket.
As the hiking/mountain biking season is coming in, The .45 has taken a back seat. I need a compact pistol for the pocket (I wear baggy pants/shorts). Ive narrowed my choices to these. Keep in mind my biking will be on trails, as well as "urban" environments.

Recently bought my wife the M&P compact 9mm and it is a nice little gun. I think you would be very satisfied with it.

The Sig is a nice gun - but it is rather heavy - and it's somewhat big for a 380 - when U can get 9mms of somewhat similiar size.
If U do go that route, however - look at the Bersa Thunder. It's only $200-$250, and is just as good of a gun. |

I had a bersa and it either was a lemon or bersa's just plain suck. I'm still on the fence about which it was...
You say Pocket Gun? I say Keltec P3AT (.380). Best investment I ever made...

Up that 642 to the the 340. Only problem is money. The 642 being $500 vs the 340 at $950.
Hmmm...... Since the other 2 pistols are kind of heavy why don't you consider a model 60 in Stainless steel. They run about $600. It will be a little heavier but no where near as heavy as a M&P compact fully loaded. You will have the advantage of 357mag.

Not sure if you looked at this yet before coming up with your finalists, but how about a Ruger SP101 hammerless in .357? Just a thought.
