Yep, Fumbler nailed it. I also have both P3AT & LCP.
someone else said the triggers on these was most like a staple gun, and I agree.
I like the Colt Pocketlite. I like having a hammer and a safety. I've been caught with the Ruger and KT where the hammer was not cocked, and it did not fire when it came out of the pocket (first shot at the range each trip). that does not inspire confidence. I've now learned to look at the hammer every time it goes into the pocket.
I have a Mustang Pocketlite. I prefer it in every way over the plastic guns, except for the thickness, and the weight.
The Kahr is intriguing, but it almost looks TOO small. I mean, you want something left to hold onto, and the above guns are about at the minimum for me. And I'm trying hard not to buy more polymer guns.
Someone mentioned a Llama. I have 4 or 5 of those made in the 1940s. Fine guns, well made, almost perfect miniature 1911A1s. Thin as an LCP, but longer and heavier. About the size of a Colt Govt 380, but thinner. Very cool, very reliable, accurate, too big and heavy for my pocket.
I even have an American Arms Escort - All-stainless, slim as an LCP, DAO, great trigger, elegant lines. Also a little big for pocket carry.
I'll be buying a P238 next, once you guys work the bugs out of them
