I have been carrying either a BHP or 1911 in a VM-2 for a while but have decided to carry something smaller. Have done some research online but still looking for opinions.
My choices are limited to the following pistols in the calibers given:
1. Kahr PM9 (in, of course, 9mm)
2. Kimber Ultra Carry or SA Micro Compact in .45 ACP
3. SA Ultra Compact in 9mm
4. Kahr P9 (again, of course, in 9mm)
Different strengths in different guns, of course, but still would like some opinions.
My biggest decision is actually not gun but caliber and barrel length. What do the above calibers do in the guns given? I've never worried about expansion from decent hollow points out of a BHP or 5" 1911 but what happens with a 9mm out of a 3" barrel? .45 ACP out of a 3" barrel? Or 3.5" in those calibers?
