Small .45. cant make up my mind

Colt Defender

Like the poster, I also have a Sig P239 in 9mm, and my small .45 is a Colt Defender. I can recommend the Defender as an excellent gun, and it is about the same size as the P239, or even slightly thinner and lighter weight.

I carry a Kahr PM45 off duty and as a back up weapon. I believe the Kahr PM45 is the smallest .45 cal. pistol in production. I carry it OWB and Pocket.

The Para LDA is a solution looking for a problem. (IMO, of course. Plenty of loyal LDA followers out there, I'm sure.)

My wife is very happy with her Colt Officer's Model. I'd carry it, but I can't get it away from her, so I carry my Commander.

I haven't been following Colt's latest offerings (Defender?), but it looks like an Officer's Model with an alloy frame. There might be other differences, but a quick glance says it's pretty similar to an OM.

Colt New Agent gets my vote.

hk makes a nice compact .45, so does CZ, springfield, kimber(nice),fn herstal, and others.
