True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth. If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

I also have a Glock 27, which is the same size as the 9mm Glock 26, that I carry as my on duty back up and I would much rather carry the LC9 for its size/slimness. Roll Tide Roll, now lets go hunting!!!

RickcNY Campfire Regular R Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 1,676 Upstate NY	Originally Posted by cdi23 Been looking at some small 9's lately for concealed carry. I like the Kahr CW 9 after handling one. Also like the looks of the Keltec PF-9 though I haven't handled one. What are your thoughts on these or suggestions for others that would fit the bill? personal preference YMMV ,Springfield armory XDs

If you can handle $350.00 then get something good,Kahr-Glock-Ruger Buy once cry once! Whats a hundred when it comes to a Life insurance policy? Faster horses,Younger women,Older Whiskey,More money

For me it is the very long trigger pull and safety. With my hand nerve problems I feel it is the safest for daily carry. As far as shooting, a toss up between the EMP and 938. BTW, several different S&W mags will work in the PF9, like the 59 mag.

Don't really understand Keltec's statement that you can shoot +P's some, but not too much. Looks like either you could or couldn't. What's up with that? You don't want the KelTec. They are unreliable. You can shoot +P's until they blow up. The single stack Kel Tec kicks like a Missouri Mule too. Took my KelTec PF-9 out to the gun club today and had no trouble hitting tight groups. I am small framed and found the recoil to be very manageable. I have had several handguns for concealed carry, but have not owned or shot the LC9.

But my Keltec is lighter in weight & a little easier to conceal. But my favorite Concealed Carry 9mm is Definately my Springfield EMP 9mm 1911. But at $1100. It's not a "cheap" CHL gun.
