Looking for a 9mm pocket pistol Continued from EXP

This is a carry on thread from the experts section I want as many options as possible for this carry pistol. I am looking for something like a Walther PPK but in 9mm. I plan to carry it and want it to be reliable.

On hot summer days, I carry a Bulgarian MAK in a Fobus rig. Tough to beat for umph in a small package.
I've handled both, the when Rohbahr would not allow ther warranty to follow the gun, like Taurus and Seecamp, I bailed. For $950, I expect better service.
The ultimate:
Kahr PM9 in a Milt Sparks Pocket Concealment Holster (PCH).
I picked up this $80 holster for $30 on Sigforum [really lucky break] but had committed to selling the PM9 earlier, to finance ... something that can really reach out and say "Hello".
So I only carried this combo for three days. But the 16 oz. PM9 left virtually no imprint in the front pocket, and it slid out with great ease.
Although I would not spend the money on the DLC slide.
I'd get the economy model and blacken it myself.
If you want one that will increase in value and you'll only carry on occasion where it won't have wear marks, get a Colt Pocket Nine.
Colt Pocket nine or Kahr.
Select..have you changed your mind on the Kahr? I just happened to be reading about the Colt Mustangs and came across this. I am interested in a .380 backup and was looking at Kahr.

I had a custom ghost ring made and installed on mine.
I carry my Keltec on my Atv all the time!!! It is getting pretty beat up from all the wear and tear but keeps on working flawlessly!!!

Pa,
I have the P-40 with the .357 SIG barrel and the P-11 upper. One gun and I can shoot 9mm, .357 SIG, and .40 S&W. Best dang utility gun I've ever owned. I also sold the p-32 and bought a P3AT in .380. Slickest little pocket gun you've ever seen![;)]
Happy New Year!!
It is a tack driver.. more than what I can say for the keltec.
select-fire, I have been very surprised with the accuracy of my Keltec P-11. I know this is not too scientific, but I can make a 20oz. Coke bottle "dance" with every shot at about 25-30ft using WWB ammo. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one, but for what it is, I can't ask much more from it[:D].

I was funnin' about the Keltec. Comparing the Browning to the Keltec is about like flyin' in a single engine airplane and then flyin' in a jet. I can make 20 oz. coke bottles dance easily at 35 yd with the Browning.
Yeah...but.....but....I can buy more Cokes with the money saved on the Keltec. Ha![:D][:D][:D]

aparently they make a copy of the P11 with a few extra features etc. I read there forums a bit sounds intresting, have any of you guys herd anything about them one way or the other? Of course im still not set on eather as of yet. Will keep looking for a bit.
I like the look of the keltek and while I was doing a search for more info I stumbled apon this place http://www.skyyindustries.com/gun_cpx-1b.html

Doesn't look bad, but I'd go with a Kel-tec or Kahr in 9mm luger. Price wise, I'd go with a Radom P64 9x18[:D]

That Radom doesnt look bad eather, but im going to stick with 9mm luger now that I know the difference between them all and since thats what I have already for my xd and now that im thinking about it I may look into doing 9mm in my 1911. Since I dont shoot it much as is being the price of the .45 ammo. I do plan to reload here once I get some time however I like the idea of having interchangeable ammo.

Interesting, but why would you want/need an external safety on a DA-only gun? To me that's just a liability. The whole point of a DA-only gun is that there is no safety to accidentally get switched "on" when you don't want it on. That's a big negative for me.
This one seems ergonomically nicer than the Kel-tec since it has finger grooves and the little pinky rest, but you can add those features to your Kel-Tec with a $7 Hogue grip sleeve and a $5 mag pinky extension. The Kel-Tecs will take S&W mags (and hold 11+1 rounds). . .looks like this one won't take Smith mags, and only holds 9+1.
For what its worth, the Kel Tecs also appear a hair lighter at 15 ounces (vs 17 for this Skyy thing).
Here's the little guy. I like it, but it is finicky as to the type of ammo you put in him. It's a lot easier to carry. Very light. Carry it all the time.

Yep actualy I read there forums some more the other night and took it off my list as a possible choice, I actualy like more safeties for the most part. But anyhow that one is badly designed people with big hands would accidently turn the safety on while shooting. And since im no little fella that just wont do for me
i dont like that it is in 9mm,..which is why i dident opt for a Kel-tec.
instead i went with the .45cal Taurus PT-145,..i really like haveing 10+1 of .45 hydra-shock
however to the Kel-tec's credit,..they are very light and easy to carry.
i am a pretty big guy,. so size and weight of my CCW can be a bit more than normal.
here is what i have been makeing payments on and will have in about two weeks.
