Kahr and Glock make some nice weapons that fit that bill - so does Seecamp. Define "small" - how tall are you, how much do you weigh, and where do you intend to conceal it?

If you want the ultimate in light, precision made, compact, for a real defense round (9mm) and cost is no object (we are talking over $1000), then there is only one choice:

If cost is a factor, then a Smith and Wesson Airweight or equivalent, or a Kel-Tec P3AT

My everyday carry: Beretta .32 `Tomcat', Winchester Silvertips, in a DeSantis pocket holster. Spare mag in an Altoids tin.
Sportcoat or jeans pockets, no `printing'. It never jams. Women like it `cause you can pop the barrel for loading, no need to rack slide. The titanium version is even lighter.

SIG 232, a little pricey though.

HiPoint C-9, compact 9mm. MSRP $ 140.00. Don't let the low price and ugly looks fool you. Very simple and reliable handgun with 8 round magazine at a very affordable price. Can accept a 10 round magazine that is also compatible with the HiPoint 995 9mm carbine. See www.mkssupply.com for more info.

Um, those were serious questions. Your height and weight determines what you can hide.
Of course, if you're going to carry a purse gun, this is all irrelevant.

I've shot a Rohrbaugh. The recoil is surprisingly vicious for a 9mm.
Remember that people need to practice with the arm they carry, and a weapon that's unpleasant to shoot won't be shot for practice much. That precludes the Airweight, and IMHO, just about all the snubby revolvers.
IMHO, I'd say that P3AT would work (though it's on the light side for caliber). Kahr makes the PM9 (9mm minipistol) that's gotten a lot of rave reviews. If you can live with something a hair larger, there's the micro-Glocks.

But the reasons for other suspensions and revocations are largely a mystery. The concealcarry law Ohio legislators enacted keeps private most of the information about license-holders. I totally agree with keeping people's identity concealed, but I would be curious as to the REASONS WHY there were revocations. Failure to renew, accidental discharge...?

My palm almost covers the little Tomcat but it's a good shooter, out to about 20 feet.
If you can carry a slightly larger gun, I'd recommend the CZ P-01. Aluminum frame so it's light, concealable, has a de-cocker, low barrel axis so less recoil than my Browning, slide is inside the frame so less movement, I think, and it is very accurate.
To: Fee
C-9s are as large as a Glock 19, and are heavy for their size class. Their balance is also *really* weird. They're not natural point shooters at all.

Depends on whether you want a revolver or an auto, and what load you can handle. If you want a very light auto that is dependable the S&W .380(that is what it is called, the .380)is very light, very easy to conceal and if used at close range the .380 will take out anyone. This is just one possibility, there are many out there.

Apparently moving out of state also lands you in the "revoked" category...

My wife and I looked at the ultra lightweights in 9mm but the recoil is really nasty. It was impossible to fire a box of practice ammo in one session.
That said, she decided on her Sig P232 .380 in stainless. She never feels it wearing it in her Bianchi conceled holster.
Many LEOs carry this as their backup.

I've got a Kel Tech 9mm. It's kind of a pos. It has never misfired but it does eject the brass into my forehead, I'm left handed.
