Small thin 9mm semiauto

I can't say this enough. I used to think the shield was the end all of pocket 9's, small, reliable and a decent shooter. I have had two. You mist try the Taurus gen 2 pt111. Such a great gun, a hair thinner and a much Mbetter shooter. I dare you to find a negative review from an actual owner. They are stupid awesome and a stupid great price. Try it out and you won't be disappointed.
I know a few people on here have had good experiences with sccy , I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you that I had the worst experience of any other gun than with a act. I also had to pay out of pocket to have it sent back FOUR times and had to become a DIY gunsmith after that. Hands down the worst gun I have ever owned, but it was uber accurate.

The Sccys and the Rugers are all copies of Keltec designs.
The Keltec PF9 is the original "little" 9mm. It's lighter and flatter than the copies.

Only one brief mention from a fellow Ohioan, but I will add my thumbs up to the Kel Tec PF-9. These pistols are panned by many, but I can tell you mine has been flawless with several flavors of ammo. Very light. I find it easy to shoot - accurate, decent trigger.

From what I've read, Rohrbaugh is changing ownership, they're not producing new pistols right now and they're not doing warranty repair.
If you're sure that the gun you're getting is reliable and you're not going to need their warranty, then it is probably the lightest 9mm pistol out there with the smallest over all dimensions.
As far as being thin, it has no side mounted slide release, or safety, or side mounted magazine release.
It is pretty thin.

My 9mm Shield carries very well IWB, but even with the flush-fit 7-rd mag it shoots like a much bigger gun.

I was looking for the same.
A small, go anywhere, thin 9mm that was thin enough for summer when wearing only shorts and a T-shirt.
After some in depth research, I came up with a surprise ...
One of the smoothest DA triggers, especially for the price.

The KAHR CM9, or a little more costly, but nearly identical PM9 is smaller than the Ruger LC9. But about 1/3 (CM) or 1/2 (PM) the cost of the $1200 Rohrbaugh.
My CM9 is either carried in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster when the pockets of what I am wearing allow good concealment, and easy draw. Otherwise it is carried in a Theis hybrid IWB holster. Either way it is visually completely unnoticeable to anyone, and physically nearly unnoticeable to me wearing it.
It is plenty accurate for CCW, and has been 100% reliable with a variety of ammo choices.

I would cast my vote for the Sig P938. Small, lightweight, soft recoiling and accurate. 
For a striker model, I like the Walther PPS. I think the Walther CCP will be another good one. The shield is also a good one and pretty popular.
I like the Sig 290 the best overall. I like the DAO on a small CC gun and the trigger pull is not all that bad. I know a few guys with this model an they all seen to like them quite a bit.

The LC9 may be the thinnest but the trigger requires getting used to. The new striker fired LC9 is worth looking at. I'll keep the old one. Note: so far I prefer carrying a 642 revolver even tho the cylinder makes it fatter than the LC9. The 642 is about 3oz. lighter than the LC9. I mostly pocket carry with either gun. Right now the revolver is more comfortable carried IWB, I haven't found the right holster for the auto.
