Buy the Taurus, but I am prone to like them I have 2 in our vehicles, 1 in hers and 1 in mine. They work just fine I did put fibre optic sights on both.

Walther PPS M2 and S&W Shield M1.0 are available for $249.99 if you shop around.
 
I just got back from Academy looking at guns. The Sig 965 and another Sig that is striker fired would work and are in the pocketable size range. The Taurus was just a little too big to be a pocket gun. The S&W shield would work. So would a couple others that I can't remember. I made the mistake of looking at the LCP II again and really liked it. I looked at an SCCY yesterday and it was a little bigger than I want as was the Walther. Some of these guns are more belt pistols than pocket guns.

So I am closer to making a decision but not sure on what. In 9mm I think the shield will get the nod. The size and price were good for my budget and what I am looking for.
 
After my P380 experience, swore I would never buy another Kahr but you guys have me thinking about the PM or CM9....not that I need.....
 
Recently bought a third Nano and a second Kahr CM9. Obviously my favorite Micro's. Gave one Nano to my son. First Nano recently reached over 10,000 rds. Will keep that as a range gun and Carry the new one, or the Kahr, depending on which day it is.
 
I have all 3. Don't really need the Kel tec anymore as the ruger is about the same size and I like it better. The Taurus is a double stack. Not as slim but more rounds and adjustable rear sight. I prefer the ruger for carry.

The Ruger EC9S can be found for.$199.99.
It's a pretty good pistol for the price.
 
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I found a site called Handgun Hero and you can do a side by side comparison of different guns. I think so far the best suggestion for what I am looking for is the Kahr CM9. Its just slightly bigger in size from my Taurus TCP and 5oz heavier. Thats pretty good for a pocket 9mm. In case you haven't found this place here is a link.

I really like my Sig P290RS
and I agree with him. Ended up with a couple of them. Very small and compact. Very well built and strong. Accurate and reliable. A bit heavy. The DAO trigger is smooth but quite long and on the heavy side but that is not a bad thing for a discreet carry pistol, IMO. Quite thin, especially through the grip. Underrated and under appreciated and sadly discontinued.
 
Best Compact?

M&P M2.0, G19-5, Sig P229 Legion or Dan Wesson Vbob in Duty Coat.

However I suspect this was really meant as a best Subcompact question.
