Advice on small CC 9mm

I know it's been done to death, but not by me.
I want a smaller CC weapon. For now, I'm focusing on 9s. I have a soft spot in my heart for five shot j frames, but that's later.
I haven't shot any of the small nines. I also have medium large mitts and despise my pinkie hanging off the grip. That is something I'm willing to work with, so don't let that discourage any suggestions.
I know several of you have Kahrs. Are there any others? Wambli had that thin Berretta? I think it was.... I handled one of those a couple years back. Sweet but expensive if I remember right. Wambli let me know what make and model that one was.
Any other suggestions?

The Kimber Solo, Walther PPS, and some of the Kahrs are nice too. I think I will get the Nano at some point.
I actually like the feel and trigger of the M&P Shield better than the PPS, but I haven't shot one yet. I intend on getting one, just don't know when.

Though Interarms , Star and Spanish pistols in general are pretty much history , these little jewels can still be found at very nice prices. Ergonomically a miniture 1911 with some BHP and CZ features thrown in , they are excellent pistols. 100% reliable , great safety features , 7+1 capacity , all steel construction , I think they was Gun of thr Year back around '91 or so.
Why would you want anything other than a Kahr PM9? Pricey....well...a little, but I bet you'd keep it forever.

Plus you can't beat the price, I paid $269 for mine after transfer fees.
Couple a years. :tooth:
The PF-9 is a terrific little pistol! It's a bit smaller than the Shield so it fits in my jeans pocket just fine.

That punk. He never showed me that....
Or maybe he did and I forgot it.
Or maybe it's been more than a couple of years since you've graced us with your presence.
The LCP is a .380, not a 9mm.
The Keltec quality is hit and miss......not as bad as Taurus, but still quite a few lemons coming from them.
If you're going with something as heavy as a Makarov, or as heavy and big as a Firestar, you should go ahead and look into a Glock 26/19 or a Smith & Wesson M&P9c.
Just my opinion of course.
Metal? MK9
If you are leaning toward Kahr, I would vote for the K series, having owned two of each. I never had any trouble with the plastic framed models I owned, but the all steel models feel better to shoot, without being excessively heavy to carry.

Thanks Eli...my mistake...it's an LC9 not an LCP....still a good pocket pistol...
They work best with a $20 spring kit upgrade from Wolff Gun Springs.
This gun shot this group at 25 yards from the bench. Notice the four shot group on the lower right. The other three are either me, ammo or both.
25 ounces loaded, 7 plus 1 capacity.
