My CZ 2075 Rami 9mm is really growing on me. At first I thought it was a bit too snappy, but I'm getting use to it and shooting it quite well. It's got more heft than a Glock 26 and certainly more than a Kel-Tec, but it's concealable and with the 14-round extended mag has good ergonomics.

And, of course, it's a CZ...
 
For the cost of the EMP, buy a Glock 19 or 26, ammo, a good holster and practice, practice, practice! Or buy a used Glock and spend the savings on training.
 
Really depends. What kind of CCW are you looking for? Pocket carry? belt? Shoulder holster?
Are you more comfortable with a thicker grip (double stack mag), or thinner grip (single stack)?
How sensitive are you to weight? How sensitive to recoil?
What kind of other stuff do you have? Do you have mags from another gun where you might want something compatible?
 
If a GLOCK 26 isn't thin enough, then I would save up for the EMP (or buy something cheaper than your other choices). I wouldn't spend more than 3-400 dollars on a pistol that can't group outside of free throw range (Kahr). Well, maybe the taurus would be ok. But is the Taurus that much smaller than a G26 that'll shoot circles around it?
 
You should give the Walther PPS a good look. It's available in both 9mm and .40 S&W, which will give you plenty of horsepower, and the gun is slim and easy to carry and conceal. Best of all, it's a true Walther and not a Umarex creation sporting the Walther banner, which is what you get when buy a P22. The PPS is definitely worth your consideration.
 
I pick the Glock 26, XD-9 subcompact, PPS, Rami over any gun on your list, and I'd also consider the Smith M&P and the Taurus 24/7 before any of those listed. The EMP is extremely cool, but I've read range report after range report discussing feeding problems. Even the gun mags that love everything have reported feeding problems. Maybe this was bad luck, but I'm not going to experiment with a gun that is so ridiculously over-priced.

I don't know much about the Millennium Pro, but I have shot several Kahrs and have had feeding problems with each one. Granted they were all new guns that hadn't been broken in, but I've shot a lot of brand-new Glocks, XDs, and CZs that have been perfectly reliable right out of the box, no break-in required.

With the exception of the EMP, I'm basing my purchasing decisions on my own personal experience. My life may depend on my carry gun so I pick guns I know will work and let the Internet ninjas debate the finer points.
 
Whatever fits your hand best. I like the MilPros myself becasue mine both run like champs and they were not exorbitantly expensive. However, if I knew then what I know now, it'd probably be a Kahr or CZ Rami .40S&W.

Something narrow is better for CCW in my opinion simply for concealability. Glocks are not very narrow.
