Who makes the smallest auto 45?
Still having a hard time deciding on a "pocket pistol" Not much for revolvers and I just cant bring myself to get a 9mm. and .40 is just loud and obnoxious. |

The Semmerling LM4 is a really small one, but it is manually-operated (i.e., not semi-automatic) and feeds from a 4-round mag. They are pretty small for a .45, but not as small as a P3AT or similar. They're also pretty heavy for a pocket gun. They aren't cheap used. New production is in the hands of American Derringer, but I have no idea if they are making these at present. The NRA firearms museum outside DC has a wall with probably 30 Semmerlings on it. I've never seen so many in one place. |

I saw a post with a 2-shot .45 derringer thing that stores 2 additional rounds in the grip. Don't remember the maker though. Maybe the Heizer Double-Tap? I had forgotten that one until you posted. I'm not sure why, but I'd really like to have one of those.

Might want to check that MSRP!  Sweet Jeebus!

There is no such thing as a .45 pocket pistol. Also, does OP think a .45 pocket pistol is going to be quiet and polite???

I haven't seen one women shoot these pocket pistols and enjoy it or want to own one. Fact of the matter is, pocket pistols take some experience to shoot and shoot well. I couldn't imagine how a true .45 pocket pistol would feel shooting it, they probably will never make one. And I don't mean AR15.com's version of a pocket pistol, I'm talking about a true pocket pistol. |

Detonics. Good luck finding one. There's another one I want. (A Combat Master, not a crappy Pocket 9.)
They aren't as uncommon as you'd expect. I see them on the online auction sites for $750-900 pretty often. I even saw one at a local gunshow, which surprised me. |

http://www.defensivecarry.com/forum/defensive-carry-guns/120325-amt-45-backup-rises-ashes-now-available-again.html I played with one once at a gun store. It had the longest, hardest trigger pull I've ever seen on a gun. It may have been an honest 20-lb pull. Those are also pretty chunky. |

The Star M45 is a member of compact .45 pistol generation 1. It is pretty small, but being made of meaty milled steel is heavier than some full sized guns. It is the proof the polymer is not a bad thing. This is not a recommendation, just showing one model. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/DriftPunch/M45/m45_whole-1.jpg I had a Star Megastar , dbl-stack 45 a while ago . . . . that thing weighed a ton
CCW'ing it made me walk in circles

This Kahr PM45 is the smallest / most practical / cost effective / easily available .45 on the market.

This begs the question, why such a big round for a small gun? 9mm is effective with JHP, with more rounds in the mag. I know I feel a lot more confident with .45. If I'm going to be trading round for round with somebody, I want my rounds to be the big ones. |

I don't own one, but the Glock 30 seems tempting. I did at one time own a Springer Ultra-Compact V-10:
The porting covered like half of the barrel and made it pleasant to shoot. Loved carrying that thing. It was like a lazer. . . . .or maybe a nuclear lazer: 
Shooting it in low light wasn't very fun. |
