Yeah I've got a friend that let me borrow his 3" Kimber to carry for a while, but it was just too bulky and heavy for me. I'm thinking something either in a 9mm or .40 and not entirely all steel frame...My better half carries and loves her Para companion
I've looked into clocks, but them along with the XDs are way too wide. By the time I get it in a holster, I'll look like I have a huge tumor on my backside. That's what I'm trying to get at...overall length and height of the gun isn't nearly as important as width for someone with my build.Take a look at glock 36 and Springfield XDm 40 and 45
I have heard that walther has had trouble with the clips falling out on the pps
Looking at getting a Walther PPS 9mm for carry. Anybody have an opinion on this gun? I've held it in our local gun stores and it feels great. It seems to be a good quality gun, and it's really thin which is what a guy my size has to be concerned with. I'm only 5'8" and 140lbs, so actually concealing a gun is hard. I know there's a lot of guns out there prefer over this gun because of capacity, but the way I figure it, I can always carry 1 or 2 more magazines...
Yeah my dad has the Taurus TCP, which I'm sure you already know is a smaller version of the LC9 and in a .380. I love the gun so if the LC9 is anything like it I'm sure I'd love it...the only downside is the TCP is quite the beast to hang on to if your hands aren't very small. Do you know if the LC9 is the same? I know it's a little bigger but it's also packing a little more punch so I didn't know if it would be on the same scale. Definitely gonna look into it!Might want to check out a Ruger LC9 if you haven't already. It's small, 9mm and is very slim as it is a single stack mag.
How do you get a hold of a gun to shoot that you haven't bought? Gun ranges, both indoor and out, are few and far between where I'm located. We have a TON of outdoor ranges for cops, but very few for civilian use...Looking at getting a Walther PPS 9mm for carry. Anybody have an opinion on this gun?

I am 5'6" and 135 pounds. I carry a Kahr MK9. You could probably carry a K9 and still conceal pretty well.
Love my Kahr.
If you are set on the PPS, you should SHOOT it before you buy it. Just holding it doesn't tell you how it feels when you shoot it....just my 2 cents.
Best of luck in finding a gun that suits you,
How do you find the accuracy? From the YouTube video I've seen of Nutnfancy comparing the 2, the PF9 seemed to group a little better. Is it very controllable for the firepower vs. size (able to hang on to it)?I'm finding the LC9 is a great gun in a small package. With a good holster I almost forget it's there.
