Re: What to get for my CCW?

Now, I'm looking at 3 9mm pistols.

Taurus Millenium Pro - I'm not sure if this is the same as a Taurus PT-111 but it looks small. This pistol had some bad reviews but from what I've read the curent 3rd gen models are relative good. The good deal about this is the weapon is cheap and I don't mind losing it if I had to use it and the police take it.

Kahr MK9 - Seems to be the smallest of the group. The pistol is relative reliable as far as I can tell. The only drawback is the price, cheapest one I can find is nearly $600.

Walther PPS - This is about the same size as a PPK. It got some bad reports initially with pieces broken off but I think the quality has improved since. The pistol seems to be smaller than the Taurus but larger than the Kahr. I like the Walther name but the price of $575 is a bit steep.


What would you suggest?
Of the three, I would go with the Kahr. However, unless you are just set on a steel framed gun, go with the PM9. I have one and love the gun. It is easy to carry, much lighter than the MK9, but about the same size. I have had ZERO issues with it. Like all small guns it is a little finicky on feeding ammo unless you allow the slide to do its job when initially putting a round into battery, but during shooting it has been flawless. :thumbs2:
