    $1000+ for the Solo or $700 for the PM9? Glock 26 would be where my money would go and this is coming from a not a fan of Glock. Half the cost of the Kimber and $200 less than the Kahr.

    I really like my PM9! It is easier to carry and conceal than a PPK and with the Speer 124 gr +p short barrel loads delivers more punch than a +p .38 out of a J-frame. I would pay the extra $200 just to not have to carry a Glock - but that's my problem. I haven't handled the Solo, but I prefer the grip and handling characteristics of the PM9 to the Nano and the Shield.

    I'm partial to the P-9. It fits my hand better and hide very good in a IWB under a T shirt [^]

    I had a Solo black/stainless for a short time. It shot great and it is a tiny bit smaller than a PM/CM9. I sold mine because:
    -I could tell the black finish was fragile.
    -I had the opportunity to make a quick $100 (still scarce at the time)

    Overall, I think both are great choices, but I'd lean toward the PM9 because I like the sights and the trigger better. Yes, I have a CM9

    Thanks for your input. If laserMax would just build a guide spring laser for the PM9...

    Better off getting a flashlight. Figure the gun printing closer to the radius of the light circle is more accurate than a point of a laser beam. We're talking about a semi-auto belly gun with a need to be 20 yard working range.
