It has beeen quite a long time since I bought a pistol so I did find an excuse to go shopping again!! 
I would like to get a pistol for IWB carry (in a soft holster), something in between my full size carry, a Bersa Thunder 40 (which is on the smallish size for a full size piece) usually carried on a belt holster and my pocket piece, a Kel-Tec P11.
So something a bit more capable than my P11 but not as big as my full size pistols (Bersa, Beretta, SIG, S&W).
Please no funky trigger hardware (so it means NO GLOCKS) my preference would be a traditional DA/SA handgun or, second choice, a good DAO. Only service calibers please, nothing under a 9mm.
I did look first at the Bersa Thunder compact line but they are as thick as their full size counterpart (1.45")
To be honest my ideal would be a Thunder 380/Walther PPK size class but in a service caliber....second choice something like a KT P11 but with a bit longer barrel and better trigger.
I want to go below 4" in barrel lenght (let's say 3.5")
I do not care if is a single or double stack but ideally it should be very close to my P11 in thickness (1")
Does something like a Glock 26 but with a SA/DA or a DAO action exists?? That would be perfect. Nothing in the SIG model range exactly like that jump to mind at the moment.
Finally, something reliable and fairly accurate, obviously!!
Thank you!!
