Thanks for the suggestions. I saw a lot of mentions of Kahr and S&W. As I noted earlier, I already have an MK-9 Elite as well as a 642. Great guns, and there are times when I carry each, but they're not right for every occasion -- and I don't consider either optimal as a true "pocket" gun.

So... I bit on an LCP today. My friendly nearby Cabela's had them on a doorbuster sale this morning as a kit (two mags, a soft case and a blackhawk No. 3 pocket holster)for 319.00. Throwing $50 in points toward it sweetened the deal further.

Looking forward to feeding this tiny beast and seeing how it performs... although I'll probably get a couple of Pearce mag extensions for just a bit more purchase on the grip. They look a little more functional than the single Ruger extension that came in the box.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
