Help me decide.

Between a Kahr P45 and a Kahr PM45.
I know there ain't much difference, but that is why I am stuck.

They are about the same price, so that isn't a factor between the two. It will also be next to impossible for me to get my hands on either of the as I'll have to order either of them, because no shop in a hundred+ miles has either.

My main concern is the ability to pocket carry, That is going to be my method of carry for this gun. The PM45 is about a 1/2 in shorter in height and length. That is why I was leaning to it. BUT the P45 has an extra round, and Crimson Trace makes a laser sight for it but not the PM45, and I might want one on it one day (I am unsure) those two reasons have me thinking about the P45. But I can't decide how much difference that 1/2 in is going to make in a pocket.
I think even the PM45 will fill up a pocket so I am cautious about adding even a little in hight and length, but the extra round has me thinking.

I will also occasionally carry in a Cross Breed Super Truck, or maybe an IWB, but nearly always in a Pocket Holster.

For a comparison of the Specs look here.

I've found that the main factor in ease of concealment with an auto pistol is "butt length". The shorter the butt, the easier it is to conceal.

PM = Pocket
P/CW = Belt

I would go with the PM, I personally went with the MK9. It is a pleasure to shoot. I like the price of 9 and you can conceal the powerful little guns. I don't mind the weight of the stainless because I almost alway have it in IWB. But I also do a little pocket carry.

I keep it in this sometimes:
