You want concealable????
Kahr K40
If you want it even smaller, try the P40 by kahr.

Be very careful before you choose a Kahr.

"Gun Tests" magazine rates the K40 as "Don't Buy";
however a MK40 is rated "Conditional buy" as a belly gun.

For concealed carry purposes I recommend a Glock 27. The downside is if your not familiar with this type of weapon and even if you are you will need to - practice, practice, practice. Keep your eye in the front sight and squeeze the trigger, don't try to pull it. There is a certain amount of muzzleflip that you will get used to with practice. The "Limp Wrist" issue is more often then not the operator not the gun. "To grip it right, grip it tight". This doesn't mean squeze the snot out of it but be firm. For practice I use Excel 180 gr with WST powder. When I'm carrying I use Federal Personal Defense 135 gr Hydra-shok. Check out GlockTalk.com - great site for info and more. Good Luck!

Glock 23 which I carry or the baby Glock 27. They are as ugly as they are functional meaning they just DO NOT jam. These old 1911 guys can have those heavy but nice looking pistols. The Glock was designed to do the job and the .40 S&W is far superior to the 9mm and equal in stopping power to the .45ACP with less recole. Takes a little getting used to but with all that free ammo who cares. Again the Glock can be counted on to work and thats what counts in a carry situation.

Read my post 53. This guy (Marine Inspector) despises the NRA. He spent a whole thread bashing them. Do you think he would be able to buy a Glock 27 if the organization he hates and accuses of misinformation wasn't around?

sorry, gun tests is a joke. They have no standard test procedure, just give the guns to some guys of unknown repute and have them shoot the gun. I'd rather take gun advice from chuck schumer.

My experience is that the K9 is great - but that the K40 sucks; read my reviews of both.
