Closest comparison I can offer is that the two look similar to the LCP, Taurus 709 combo that I own and carry. While the LCP is definitely a pocket gun, the Taurus 709 Slim is not - it's an AWESOME IWB gun. It is slightly large for the pocket, unless you're talking cargo pants. I suspect that the two are comparable size-wise with some of the models you are discussing above. Based on that, I'd say there's not a true pocket 9 out there (in the LCP sense of the word). I may be surprised - and I'm sure that innovations will come along. But that's what I have seen so far.
Kahr CW9 is very easy to carry, price is a little better than the PM series from Kahr.
As for the PF-9 vs PM9 debate, I think both guns are good in their own right. [qoute/]
Well put westsider. Reminds me alot of the mossy 500 bs remmy 870 debate.
Go fondle and shoot every option you can get your mitts on and see what works for you. I chose the keltec for it's low cost (picked mine up for 249 NIB) and it's overall small size. It's NOT comfortable to shoot, but in a SHTF scenario it will suffice.
Keltec pf9
I have been dropping my Kel Tec PF-9 in my pocket for a year now, carries well, reliability has been perfect through several thousand rounds, very controllable, smooth trigger.I have shot a Kahr, would rather have the PF-9 and the extra money.
