I have fallen quite in love with the handguns from Kahr Arms. Unfortunately they are ridiculously expensive (not as expensive as the Kimber guns that D finds himself partial to), though the reviews I’ve found certainly make the Kahr seem worth every penny.

I also get a warm, fuzzy feeling from the Ruger SR9c – which is a bit less pricey…but it sure seems to be tough to find. (Should’ve gotten one at the Gun Show, I guess) Might take me a while to get used to a gun with a safety again.

Next on the list, Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact Pro. Much cheaper, also much harder to find. (Should’ve gotten one at the Gun Show, I guess)

D seems fine carrying his Ruger for now, but my S&W is completely impractical for me to tote around.

What do you carry and why did you choose it?
UPDATE: After some shopping today, two new serious contenders on the list. Taurus PT111 and Springfield XD. I’d like to get my carry piece soon, but don’t want to rush it. More research…

Unfortunately it seems that the local gun ranges don’t have any of my candidates available for rent
