I'll second the Kel-Tec PF9. Inexpensive, shoots good and easy to conceal. Fantastic customer service and with a lifetime, no questions asked, warranty...you just can't go wrong. I carried mine until I got my Kahr PM9 and now my Kahr PM45.

+1 on the Glock 27. It's compact, powerful, and it's a Glock.![]()
I have the Keltec p11. 9mm, small, holds 10+1 rounds and can't beat the price at only $289.
Kahr CW9 or Springfield xd9sc or Kahr PM9....least expensive to most expensive...400-700+
I have all 3 but if I could have only one it'd be the CW9. I love the S'field and its capacity, but compared to the Kahrs it feels like a brick.
i just bought and fired a subcompact .40 xd and i love it. i carry a fullsize M&P in .40, but felt the xd was a better fit then the smaller m&p subcompact. find a range tha rents guns and test fire everything u can get ur hand on.
I have a Ruger LCP and it's very concealable and might be a good choice for your summer carry.
Lol - The Glockster is being preferential toward his Glocks once again. Glocks are good weapons, (Ugly but still good), but it is not the only weapon on the market. There are S&W's, Colts, Ruger, Taurus, Thompson, Browning, etc, etc, and so on. Seek out a FFL Dealer in your area and have him/her assist you in picking out one that fits you and your finances.
Sorry Glockster... I know you meant well.![]()
I was going to recommend the Kahr line. I have a Kahr CW 40 that I really like.
But since you already own a Glock in .40, I would say get one of the small glocks. If I'm not mistaken you can use the same magazines in the smaller frame. So you carry the short magazine in the holster, and the larger ones for reloads. You're all set, and you don't have to relearn the controls.
