30 days since my last purchase is coming up and I'm looking for a ccw semiauto,   I really like the Ruger LCP but it's just too small in my hand.  I want something that fits in a pocket but I need an extra half  or 3/4 inch on the LCPs handle.

 

I'm hoping for 9mm or .380, something reliable, DA or SA/DA, and in the $300-$400 price range.  Polymer frame would be great.    Is there anything out there that you have and love that I should take a serious look at?

 

Thanks.

I just bought a Kahr CM9, I haven't even had a chance to take it to the range yet, but I liked the way it felt when I handled it. It pretty much meets all of your criteria.

I will second the cm9. Small yet stout. I used it for a short time at my off duty but now i carry something else. Now its more of a bug gun

kahr cm9/pm9 is good.... not too small not too big, shoots really nice... very glock like

What about the xds9. Casos had a couple the other day. Nice looking gun.

Reason you want to pocket carry? I conceal carry a S&W shield in a IWB holster and you would never know. I find it pretty comfortable.

 

Have you checked out the Sig 938? Not the cheapest gun but it sure is sweet.

LC9!! Its great love mine..

m&p shield I have large hands, and fits me good.

BLF, you wouldn't happen to recall if they had a bi-tone model or the price would you? If not, no worries, never been to Caso's so might be a good excuse to stop in and check it out.

This, the shield is my EDC when I'm in civilian clothes and with a good rig it feels natural almost like its not there

The Kahr PM/CM 9 is a great little gun but, I don't think it's bigger than the LCP. Check out the M&P Shield, Springfield XDS 9, and the Walther PPS in 9 or .40. (Great trigger on the Walther)

I have the Kahr CW9 & P40 in stock if you would like to size them up..............

LC9!! Its great love mine..

+1 I carry mine IWB and pocket when wearing cargo shorts. Works well, very slim and light weight.

 

If you want to shoot it, let me know.

I have the LCP and the PM9. The Kahr is definitely bigger that the Ruger where it counts. It is very shootable with the flush mounted 6 round mag and with a 7 round extended mag (I carry these as a reload) it is just about perfect for me. It also has a much better trigger and sights than the LCP. I have many rounds through both and have no hesitation recommending the PM9. It is a sweet little gun that shoots very well and my example has been very, very, reliable. They are priced high but with a little work you can find themcheaper (I bought mine for $350 in brand new condition). I have no first hand experience with the more affordable CM9.

 

That being said, I have friends with the S&W Shield. That is a nice little 9mm. I probably would have gotten one if it was available when I got the Kahr. The thumb safety option is nice for pocket carry and it is significantly cheaper if buying new.

MP Shield 40 or 9. both nice and compact

Beretta Nana is also a nice slim pistol that's compact

The thumb safety is great on the shield. Very easy to use. People say I am crazy for having a CCW with a safety on it. It's all about training.

The Safety just gives you the option to use it or not... cant see a reason to complain about it

People like to complain. Lol

Love the Shield.  Wish a long-slide version came out and full-size single-stack mags were available for reloads.
