I am going to get flamed for this, but here goes.

I am 5'6", 175lbs and find it incredibly hard to conceal my Smith 59 or 4" .45. The damn things bulge out of my suit like a tumor. I like caring my 45 with winter outer wear, but in the summer it is hard to conceal.

I picked up a Sig230 and love it! Very concealable, 7+1 in the can, accurate; hand held 6" inch groups at 50ft. Kinetic energy on the light side. No safety's just pull the trigger.

Looked at a Kel-Tec 9MM, did not like the trigger pull and seemed hard to control "for me"

The compact Glocks also seem tough to conceal because of how thick the are.

I have a Sig 232 which I love too, but the slide would frequently "bite" my hand.

I picked up a .380 Colt Mustang, it's even smaller than the Sig 232 and it has a mini beaver tail that keeps my hand safe. Unfortunately, Colt quit making the Mustang, so they can only be found used.
