OK I need a smaller gun (or two) for carry.
On my list are Kel-Tec PF9 and P11, and a Kahr CW9 and on the edge of usability is a S&W M&P9 compact.
My thinking so far is as follows:
PF9 - most compact and concealable of the lot, excellent value
P11 - slightly larger, higher cap like the PF9; some knocks on reliability and trigger feel compared to PF9
CW9 - $100+ higher cost than the Kel-Tecs, slightly larger (mostly grip length, which impacts concealment quite a lot in my case), potentially better reliability than Kel-Tecs, far better trigger feel than Kel-Tecs
M&P9C - I threw this in there since I already have a SW9VE that I like a lot, and the trigger and ergos of the M&P is a little closer to the Sigma than the others. However I think it is much larger than the others and expect this impacts concealment quite a bit. I presume reliability and trigger feel are superior to all of the above.
Comments?
