Sub Compact recommendations?
So I'm looking for a 9mm sub compact. Something I can drop in a pocket like I do my keys. Probably polymer, because weight should be less than @ 20 oz; certainly single stack because thin is good; any sights are OK; light trigger pull is a major consideration; striker fired is preferred; shorter is obviously better (recognizing the constraints imposed the the 9mm requirement).
What suggestions? Please no other caliber suggestions - 9mm is the only option considered, and I'm not willing to compromise much on other physical factors- it has to be easily pocketable.

Kel Tec PF9, Kahr PM9, the new Ruger LC9 (might be pushing pocket carry), or a Rohrbaugh, if your pockets are figuratively deep.

IMHO Rohrbaugh R9 Stealth.
I have one that his taken permanent residence in my right front pocket after evicting a Seecamp .380.The oracle is in. Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!!

Re: Sub Compact recommendations?
Kahr is a great choice if you want a nice trigger. I prefer the all steel ones, though. I carry an MK9 in my pocket without issues.
You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.

Re: Sub Compact recommendations?
Good suggestions - appreciated.
I read the Kel Tec's have some reliability issues (?)
Rohrbaugh is undoubtedly primo... but probably more than I want to
Glocks are fat... and they are Glocks, after all
Gonna do more research on the Kahr models, I think

Re: Sub Compact recommendations?
I assume you intend to use a holster designed for pocket carry. I don`t pocket carry personally so others who do could recommend something suitable. About the only handgun I have that could be "dropped in my pocket like keys" in a somewhat casual manner is my H&R 940, which is a .22 revolver and I think I`d feel safer walking around with a baseball bat!! And even that would be a lead weight in my pants.
Also. Is a semi all that good of a choice for pocket carry? If I wanted to pocket carry I would at the least research revolvers.
