Hmm, perhaps I should clarify: I'm talking about stuff like the Bersa series, Kel-tec 9mms, Kahr PM9 and P9, etc. I don't much care about the durability of pistols like the Seecamp, which probably wouldn't get shot more than 5,000 rounds in any given lifetime.
I don't think I'd ever carry a Seecamp unless I really had to - I'm young, I wear baggy pants, and I can actually fit a Smith & Wesson 3913 in my left pocket and draw comfortably - of course, it's way too heavy and looks like a tumor, and I would never attempt to actually carry it in pocket.
