You just agreed with him. :-)

I'll cross that one off.

Joe if you are looking for a small caliber for social occasions and light attire you might want to consider the Kel-Tec 32. Eight shot 10.5 oz, loaded. 3/4" wide, locked-breeched not as fancy as some but very reliable and won't hurt the pocketbook too bad, About $250. Me and a couple of friends have them and shoot them. Love mine.

My understanding of the Kahr situation is that while the owner is the son of the Moonie reverend, he is definitely estranged from his father. An interesting family, to say the least.


The Kahr PM9 is a fine 9mm, conceals easily, quick to break down, accurate, and really small. I think it is a great alternative for smaller concealed carry, and I am glad I bought it. The polymer frame and small size ensure that even my 105 lb, 5'4" girlfriend can conceal it without need for a purse.

My standby remains my Glock 30, though. It is not that hard to conceal as a polymer subcompact, and like a wise man said, it's not there to be comfortable but to comfort you.

My Glock has not had a mechanical failure of any sort, has not jammed once, and is dead on accurate +/- user error. I have put 1900 rounds through it, and as many as 350 at a time without cleaning (when I was breaking it in...I am not normally lazy about cleaning), and not one failure to load. That is the kind of thing I look for when my life is on the line, and the Glock Safe Action trigger safety is, in my decidedly unprofessional opinion, the safest, most ingenious, and practical for CCW.

If you're only going to have ten rounds available to you, better make them .45 caliber...

I promise that is the last Glock evangelizing you will hear...until provoked again.
