Looking for a lower profile setup for pocket or slim fit carry. Have a g19 now but want a smaller setup. Looked at the sig/ruger/kahr/etc
What's the best as far as reliability/price/holster availability? |

I'm in a similar boat. I have a G19 and a 1911 that I carry most of the time but I want something thin.
Personally, I am looking at the Khar CW9, Beretta Nano, or the XDS .45acp when it finally comes available. I have a friend with a CW9 and it's nice. Feels great in the hand and has low recoil for a small 9mm and it fits in most 1911 holsters. |

Quoted: I haven't shot one, but I've heard to Walther PPS may fit the role you're looking to fill. ETA: Maynard beat me! I have one and it's been a great pistol so far. I don't have many rounds through it yet but it's been well behaved so far. It's a nice shooting pistol for its size and it carries very well in the MTAC for me.  Aside from ankle or pocket carry, that's about as low profile as I can imagine it gets. |

the pm9 is what you want. For what you mentioned, this would be my choice also After much research and inner debate, I chose the CM9. if money was no object I could probably get used to the nicer finish on the PM9. I'm wearing my CM in a crossbreed mini tuck right now.  .

The Sig 938 that comes out around summertime looks like it has some potential. http://gunnuts.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shot2012_sigp938-2.jpg Its the one on the left with a P238 to scale. this looks like the ticket! I really liked the P238 when handling it. Actually feels like a pistol by comparison to the toy like Ruger |
| When I decided I wanted a compact service caliber pistol, it was between the Kahr PM9/CM9 and the Ruger LC9. My main carry gun is a M&P9, and it is honestly pretty easy to conceal. the compact version isn't that much smaller, not enough to carry it over the full size. I ended up with a CM9 and am very happy with it. |

Well I stumbled upon the S&W Shield on facebook the other day and went to my local dealer where they had gotten one in. Im a big M&P fan and have a few so this fit the bill perfecty.
One time handling it and the price was right at $430 so I jumped on it. So far awesome shooting little pistol and nice and slim. Cant wait until holster companies start cranking out some options for me on carry! I recommend it and being somewhat new to carrying I like the addition of a manual safety. |

Crossbreed has IWB holsters available for it on their website right now. |
