Check out the web sites and go to a range where you may be able to rent some.

thanks for the input mr s-b. i handled a ruger lcp, and it was just way too small. but i am a huge fan of ruger. the kahr polymer frame seemed cheap. i prefer metal frames. never handled a rohrbaugh 9mm, but i'll check it out. i admit i'm kinda picky, and eventually i'll have to compromise. thanks, jeff.

mr ubergopher, it's USAF. and to all, i will tell you what pocket pistols i think are perfect for my situation. 1. colt govt .380 ss. my girlfriend has one. but they are so absurdly expensive now as to be unreachable. flawless, and my first chioce if i win the lotto. 2. walther ppk/s .380 ss made by smith. i have a .45 and a 9mm smith & wess. both are flawless. smith made some ppk's under license but there's a recall. when smith works the bugs out it will be a great pocket gun. i trust the people at smith. will i have enough cash to get one? i'm investigating cheap pocket pistols now. jeff.

I'm a Services Airman. That just means I'm a cook and I can work in either billeting or the fitness centers. We also handle the mortuary affairs part of the Air Force too.

that's how I took your OP, you were looking for all SS firearms...
Kahr firearms are really accurate, reliable and suited for most concealed carry needs. Some do feel that polymer is cheap/toy feeling...if you want to feel the weight of steel look at the Kahr K series. Kahr's stainless steel models are available in the standard matte stainless or the new blackened matte stainless version. Kahr firearms also have a smooth DAO trigger which you seem to like according to your OP.

Have you checked out the Sig .22LR Mosquito yet?
