    I carry a CZ P07 and find it easy and comfortable to carry. Perhaps a steel framed CZ in similar size would be equally pleasant. I do like 1911 for carry also, a commander size is awfully nice. The steel frame won't do much for a squib load though...
    For a pocket sized gun I like the RM380 that is aluminum frame with steel slide.
    It is very hard to beat S&W gen 3 guns for anything - they are almost without flaw and they make a couple nice sized carry guns.

    CZ P-01, 75 Compact, RAMI, anything CZ. It's all good.

    Otherwise, I'd go with something like a Sig 229.
    I'm only here for the wood c-rings.

    Pretty much this and I would add the Beretta 92 compact.

    The Beretta 92 "compact" is still on the big side IMO.
    Love my CZ 75 PCR. Highly recommened.
    If the Internet says it, then it must be true.

    If you want a much smaller much easier to carry all steel pistol there's always the Sig 938, Springfield EMP, and the Kimber Micro 9 which all get excellent ratings. I would stay far away from the Kimber Solo regardless of how good a price you might see one.

    Then there is just about every revolver made.

    Gov't 1911. I carry one all day every day. If you're concerned with unplanned booms you can even get steel grips.

    Most steel frame guns are too heavy for today's men to carry so they carry tupperware instead and then have practice dates after having their nails done.

    I'm still waiting for an all metal, striker fired pistol.
