I can pocket my PM9 in all of my pants, my Levi 501’s are the acid test (I don’t own any skinny jeans). Inside it’s Alabama holster it works but is on the outer limits for me and pocket carry.
My Kimber M9 actually carries a little smaller than my PM9 (a little thinner more rounded slide) but the cocked and locked manual of arms, keeps it IWB for me.
Diamondback DB9. There have been reported reliability issues with the DB9, but mine hasn't given me any problems so far. I don't generally carry it as my primary, but it's so small I can just drop it in my pocket if I want an extra with me.

I haven’t pocket carried my Boberg but I guess I could. It’s a bit bulkier than my little Kahr. I just like posting pics. It is a gun of fantastic workmanship. I hope the Bond Arms models continue that.
I have a 43 but with the P365 out was looking at what else is available that’s very small with high capacity.
What’s the experience been over the years with the 10+1 Keltec P11?

A long long time ago I had a Keltec P11 and could not hit a thing with it. Probably due to the double action trigger pull of at least 18 inches. Sold it fast.
the Kahr PM9 or the less expensive CM9. they are both very close in size to the 380 caliber G42. I prefer the PM9 because it is available with a black slide and I hate two-tone guns. The PM9 also comes with a spare mag and a polygonal barrel.

I don't totally disagree with the notion that the PM9/CM9 is on paper very close to the G42, but those numbers are deceiving. Glocks numbers are very conservative (worst case) and Kahr's are kind of best case.
The PM9/CM9 carries quite a bit bigger in the pocket than a G42 and when loaded to capacity is quite a bit heavier. Not so big that someone should have a significant issue with pocketing a PM9/CM9, but the G42 will be more pleasant and a little easier to conceal.
In addition, most will find the G42 a lot easier to shoot well than the Kahr, again, not that the Kahr is terrible, just that the G42 makes many people feel like BoB Vogel when shooting fast.
Kahr PM9. Light, small and extremely reliable. Rated to +P. I can pocket carry it in my cargo pants front pocket. When I carry it in an IWB holster, it disappears under untucked T-shirt ot polo shirt.
My Sig 938 in a cheap Uncle Mikes nylon holster fits fine in Wrangler jeans. That's with a 7 round magazine inserted, and a 6 round flush mag in the right hand watch pocket.
I put rubber Hogue grips on mine, I shoot fairly well with it, when it was new out of box the factory had grease in the firing pin...wouldn't fire....took firing pin apart cleaned...no prob since
I pocket carry my 938 in a Wright Leather pocket holster every day in cargo shorts. No way in jeans. Pockets are not big enough.
