[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 950009, member: 229"] I'm becoming a huge fan of the Sig P228 or P229 - I would have said P239 before I sold mine and got a P228, but the Sigs seem to carry better than the Glocks or XDs (both fairly fat guns) and you have 15rds capacity in a double-stack mag on the 228/229 vs a single stack 8rds in the 239 (most of the single-stacks you listed is around 7-8rds). The P239 isn't thin enough to only have 8rds in it (IMHO). I barely noticed any difference in size (once in the holster) between the 239 and the 228. CZ's RAMI is pretty thin (single-stack). The S&W M&P compact is probably in between a Glock and Kahr but it gives you a double-stack mag. If you're looking at the Kahrs, I'd look at the K9 (steel frame) - I know most folks who carry like light, but to me I like the added weight for recoil management and quicker follow-up shots more so than light-weight carry. BTW, if you're planning on using +P+ rounds, I'd steer clear of anything made by Taurus or Keltec. [/QUOTE]
