Nice gun though. I'll have to fondle one soon, and try out the sling option.

Also:

Kahr K9 or MK9 in 9mm
H&K P7 or P7M8 in 9mm

Lots of good choices in revolvers. I'd look at a 3" barrel to make it a bit more range-friendly

Hold the phone!

Here you go:

Here's another. EAA Witness Steel Compact https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/pro ... 9mm+3.6%22

When you say steel frame, that eliminates virtually every currently made small-frame 9mm except for some (generally lower-priced) 3" 1911s. I think all the guns mentioned are alloy framed, but I'm not certain about a couple. Most have aluminum frames and a stainless steel slide.
I am wracking my feeble brain trying to come up with a modern compact that has a steel frame.
IMO you should include aluminum frames just to broaden the selection.

I'll second the EMP suggestion. Super nice gun, very well made.
I do believe personally that a SD weapon should be double action, unless the owner is very well practiced with an SA.
With that in mind I like my Para PDA/LDA over the EMP. Same size, double-action.
