I had an XDsc 40. Phenomenal little gun I loved it. On a whim I traded it for G26 (which I don't regret at all) but I so miss the XDsc. It can be a bit snappy with hotter loads but the grip length was enough for me control it and I have medium hand size.

All of the above are great responses and surprisingly similar to my carry choices. I bought a CM9 when it first came out, just ahead of the shield and I love it! Everyday it rises in my front jacket pocket in a Desantis Nemesis holster. In the summer I carried it IWB in a Comptac Minotaur or a Remora holster. I love my G26 and G19 but they usually stay at home now.
I don't know your size or style of clothes but just as a guess I don't think the Kahr works as a true pocket pistol for a good percentage of people. It's noticeably heavier and bigger in every dimension than a little .380. But if you want an affordable, reliable tiny 9 that deep conceals easily you can't go wrong with a CM9. -
I've owned a 642 and now own an LCR .357. The Ruger is more fun to shoot but I was able to conceal the 642 a bit easier. You honestly can't go wrong with either one.

I actually saw one today in Chattanooga at Sportsman's Supply for $450. Great looking gun and good sights on it. The grip felt a bit wide front to back for me, like the DB9, and its about as long as Glock 26. I was surprised to see it on a shelf so quickly, I just got the S&W email two days ago announcing it. If I had not purchased a CM9 last Friday I would have picked up the little Shield.

It is a unique design and reduces the bulk of an iwb holster. However I would be cautious about it. Can you post a report after you have carried it for a period of time?

A GUN SHOW is the best place. I traded a nice, clean S&W 642 plus a small amount of cash for a beautiful Ruger GP100 stainless .357 about 2 months ago. The show that was at Chilhowee Park in Knoxville. The whole deal, including time to get in the door and find a buyer took about 15 minutes.

I shot my first Glock 26 today, a Gen 3 I rented at the range in Maryville. It is really a great gun. I carry an XDSC 40 and would not trade that gun for the world but the Glock was great to shoot as well. I may need to add this to my collection soon. Besides, I don't have a 9mm yet so why not right?

I am interested in buying a PM9 or even possibly the new CM9 but I had one question. I know that the Kahrs have a 200 round break in period. Is it a good idea to take the gun to the range and put 300-400 down through it at one time? Just making sure I don't heat it up too much. It may be a stupid question I know.

I'm just starting to look into 1911's but in my limited experience I would say the Springfield Loaded Champion Stainless model.
-
Definitely high, got mine for much less. Should be around $500 or so.

I read the rules on the "what it is worth" so I deleted that part of the post just to be on the safe side. I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. I just thought it was a cool little pistol.

A friend of mine brought this little pistol into the office yesterday. Its a .22 Short Beretta Minx rimfire. She said it use to belong to her Dad, he still has the original box. Apparently it hasn't been fired in at least 12 years. There was still 7 old rounds in the magazine. I'm assuming it dates from the 60's? I brought it home, cleaned it and oiled it up for her. Just thought it was cool. Click on the link for the slideshow to see the other six pictures...

I'll put in another vote for the GP100. Great gun, costs less than a Smith but IMHO no difference in quality. I have one, 4" stainless its awesome!
-
I bought a 642 with pink grips for my girl and she hated the gun but loved the color. So I traded it for a GP100 .357 stainless 4". Walking into the gun show and having to check it in and the counter before I could take it on the floor was more than a little awkward. I just smiled and didn't respond the laughs, took 5 minutes to trade the thing, I felt much better once I had gotten rid of the pink griped snubbie.
-
This could be very interesting. I have an LCP, love it! It goes with me everywhere all day, every day but this could replace it. Sounds promising!
-
Thanks everyone! I doubt I'll ever wear it out, this thing is built like a tank. I do need a .22 now, possibly a 9mm as well just to cover all the bases (the XD in the pic is a .40 S&W). Someday down the road everyone has to have a 1911, but that's a long time from now. Like BryanP put it, I just tried to cover the widest range for now.
-
I just added gun #3 to the collection yesterday, a Ruger GP100 in .357mag. I'm officially addicted to buying guns now!
-
Tnhawk has a good point. Why rebuild what should have been done correctly in the first place? Just adding my two cents, feel free to disregard.
-
I saw both the black and two toned versions today at Frontier Firearms in Kingston. Prices were similar to WD's... $680ish for two toned, and $620ish for black. Very nice guns but I decided to go for the xd-sc .40 S&W. I don't own a 9mm yet and this would make a great choice I think... someday.

I just picked mine up on Friday night, love this gun! Traded one my two S&W J frame 642's and $150 out the door with a free box of PMC's (at least it's something in the mag for now). I thought it was a great deal anyway.

nice looking 1911, especially for the price.

G19 Gen 4, no issues at all 600 rounds down range. G26 Gen 3, same no issues. I think its just bout preference now, seems they worked out all the bugs.
