Thanks for all the recommendations. I ended up with a Kel-Tec P3AT 380. I had to work today but took off at lunch and went to the Pasadena Gun Show. I found A Kel-Tec P3AT 380 for $239. I am planning to get Jack Fuselier <http://www.gunsmith.fuselier.com> to hard nickel plate it.

I'm not looking for a pistol to replace my Kahr K9 only a smaller pistol to carry when some activities makes it hard to conceal the Kahr. I have had the Kahr since I first got my CCL back in 1996. It has been extremely relievable not one malfunction in over eleven years. When I retire the K9 as my daily carry it will most likely be with another Kahr.

I emailed a few local gun shops for a Kel-Tec P-3AT 380 (preferably hard chrome) from work today. So far I only got one reply.

"Yes I have 3, they retail for $385.00 + tax. Cash will get you one for $359.00 tax included".

That is more than I want to pay. It looks like I will be going to the Pasadena gun show next weekend.

I'm going to take mr surveyor’s advice and get a new Kel-Tec P3AT if I can find one. I looked in a couple of gun shops and online but have not been able to find one in the Houston area. I will calling a few shops tomorrow. Flatland2D if you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your P3AT at the gun show?

Thanks for all of your replies.

My Kahr is fairly small but I still find times when it is not with me because of its size. Why I decided to get a smaller pocket gun was when helping a friend move I left the Kahr in my car because it was being exposed while carrying furniture up stairs. It was late by the time we finished the move, nothing happened but I just did not feel comfortable walking back thru the apartments to get to my car.

I have checked out most of your recommendations online. Due to the weight and size I am leaning toward the Kel-Tec P32 or Kel-Tec 3AT. I found mixed reviews for the Kel-Tecs online but would like to see them for my self. I stopped by two gun shops today but neither had one in stock. Anyone know where I maybe able to find one in the Houston Area? Thank again for all of the replies.

My daily carry is a Kahr K9. The Kahr is an excellent pistol, but I want something smaller and lighter as a back up. During Houston's hot summers the Khar is hard to conceal while wearing a tee shirt so I want something I can carry in a pocket. Anyone have any recommendations?
