At the risk of asking a question that's been answered a million times:
I am looking for a CCW, probably in a 9mm & am considering a G26 or a Kahr P9. I'd like any opinions that might help me choose between these two guns.
Let me also say this: I have fired both, but only 10 rounds through each, and I am torn. Is the narrow frame of the Kahr an advantage or disadvantage. Seems it would be easier to conceal (lot shorts and t-shirt weather around here). The kahr also bounced a couple of empties off my forehead, though not as many as the P40. Maybe that's not too big a deal, but it could certainly get annoying. I also noticed that the trigger popped my trigger finger a little on the recoil. I still like the Kahr. But I can't really think of anything bad to say about the Glock, except that I wonder if the thicker glock will be harder to conceal. OTOH, the Glock has a shorter grip, which may be more of an issue when it comes to concealment than the thickness.
I am not set on one of these two, and would like to hear other suggestions as well, though I have shot the Kel-tec 9mm and did not like it. I'm not necessarily set on 9mm either. I thouhgt I liked the 40, but when I shot the P40 and G27, I decided that may not be the way to go in a small gun. It was certainly managable, but I want a gun I can enjoy taking out the range and shooting, & I don't think I would with those.
