Welcome to CTGUNTALK.COM. Dedicated to Connecticut's Firearms Enthusiasts.
My first gun was a FN FNP-40. Thing was very hard to conceal and I printed everywhere I went. So I looked into a smaller pistol. The only problem I found was the smaller they became, the smaller caliber they usually were. I still wanted decent stopping power though. I settled on the Keltec PF-9. Nice pistol, very reliable, decent stopping power(9mm), decent capacity(7+1), very concealable yet fits in your hand nicely. Did I mention its very customizable from the front rail to the option to change out the whole frame. Parts are cheap and customer service is great. But the selling point for me was the price. This pistol (last time I checked) is $250 new. I got mine for alot less in a private sale. Someone on here wrote a thread about carry guns. Their only requirements were that it was reliable and cheap, in case anything happens to it. The PF-9 satisfies all of these requirements. I highly suggest checking out the Keltec PF-9. I love it and it does the same job as my buddy's $800+ Kahr but I wouldn't cry if something happened to it.
I too wish I went right for the glock 26. Love it.

They're like potato chips, you cannot have just one.My first purchased handgun(s) were a G17 and a Walther P22. Everyone should have at least one .22 pistol in their collection. Over the years other Glock 9's have made their way into my hands. Like the 19 the best, the 26 is great for pocket carry but find I need to use pinkie extenders on the magazines when I shoot it.Too much?
Man if you need a pinkie extension that big, I'd hate to see the size of your hands!
