kahr.

there is nothing wrong with a 9mm round.

Kahr CW9 is perfect for you. I've got one myself that I carry and I love it. You can probably find them between $400-425. It's a 3.5" barrel 9mm single stack 7+1, so it's got a very slim profile...but not too small that you need a hogue and grip ext like other compacts. Check them out...you won't be sorry.

Or get a makarov.

Pocket gun kel-tec 380 0r 9mm also Bersa my mom just got one haven't shot it yet bargain price small 380.Personally I am close to your size 165@6'3 and love my xd-sub in ctac just behind my right hip with little print even in t-shirt and jeans .
But I have the feeling you are looking for a pocket piece for maximum concealment.Do to your employment

if you're dead set on automatic a seacamp (copy) or kel-tec 380/32 could work too.

I agree. I have a little Taurus 85 that makes a nice light clothing/summer carry pistol. At first I was concerned about the .38 round.. but was reassured by many members here that the .38 round (especially in +p JHP) is a fine self defense round.

The pistol is light, and conceals very well.. on the down side though, it holds only five rounds of ammo. I compensate by carrying two speed loaders on my left hip on those occasions where I think having fifteen rounds on me is necessary.

Well, I will be looking at pieces form Kel-Tec, the Taurus Millineum Pro, and the taurus compact wheel guns. I am kinda hesitant about revolvers because I like the "flatter" shape of semiautos.

i've heard good things about the NAA semis...unless a slide stop is a dealbreaker you might like them. http://www.naaminis.com/index02.html

what do people think of charter arms?

Parabellum9x19mm · 07-25-2005, 07:40 PM

they dont make automatics.

servicable and inexpensive revolvers though i'd buy a ruger or taurus before considering one, really.
