Well, I'll give you some advice for really easy carry.

www.kel-tec.com

Their P32 is the tiniest, lightest, and thinnest gun you'll find that's worth carrying. The Winchester silvertip in .32 ACP is acceptable, 66% or so stopping power, which isn't so bad.

The Glock 26 is fatter. A bit harder to hide. The Kahr P40 covert, like the P32, slips into my pocket easily. You might also look into the Taurus revolvers at http://www.taurususa.com/

I have one of these: http://www.taurususa.com/titanium/85mult.html

The Federal Nyclad .38 special +P rounds work fantastic in it, but just 5 shots.. I'd get a speedloader for it. Revolvers are extremely reliable, a huge boost in CHL.

Shop around some, and see what you can find. Can't beat a Glock for any use, I have 4.. Love them all. Sigs are great, have 4 of those too.. If you just want 1 though, it's very hard to really choose. I'd consider a light .38 revolver pretty seriously, since they are compact and pack a decent punch.

The kel-tec was actually recommended to me by the female co-owner of a local gun shop. She's tiny and keeps it in her pants pocket. At the risk of sounding like the "gun snob" my husband .45MAN accuses me of being, I didn't like it because it reminded me of a water pistol. ;-)

I've handled the Taurus PT111. I had a hard time racking the slide. Also, the trigger action was way too long and felt sloppy.

The ultralite you have is a good looking revolver. That would be a real style change for me as I have only handled semi-autos. We're trying to keep the loads at 9 mm and .45 because the plan is to one day reload our own. To make things easier, I tried to find a .45 I liked. I tried several out at the range. My recovery time from the recoil is too long. I can rapid-fire a 9mm with much more accuracy.

Once again, I appreciate all of the input!
