CCW folks: I've been carrying a S&W Sigma .40 cal for a couple of years and it's just too heavy and bulky. Have looked at both the Taurus TCP and the Bersa Thunder .380 (I know, small, but that's kinda the point). Anybody got experience or recommendations?

You might looks at the Ruger LC9.

look at the Ruger LC9

Santa brought one here and Its perfect for CHL

Look at the CZ-82. Almost as small as a PPK, but hold 12 in the mag.

KelTec 9 Plenty of bang for 200 Bucks.

I’d stay away from .380

LC9

If you want a pocket pistol, go for the LCP.

But the Bersa will probably be more “shootable.”

KELTEC PF9. I went from a S&W M&P 9mm to this. Helps keep to the single type of ammo.

If money isn't a primary concern, I would opt for the Smith/Walther PPS. Far higher quality than the other small, single stack 9's mentioned. The Glock 26 is a nice firearm as well, but about .3 inches thicker than the Walther.

The PPS has the same dimensions as the famous PPK only instead of .32 or .380, it's a 9mm.

I love the CZ 82.

Sig seems to have worked the kinks out of the P238. Much more fun than the Ruger, and night sights that belong on a much bigger gun. SA if that bothers you but I’m a 1911 guy and prefer that.

Have had two Bersa Thunder’s and both were prone to jamming.

I love GLOCKs, but they are just too thick for concealed carry with the double-stack.

I have really taken a shine to my Sig Saur P230 .380 for a concealed weapon. It’s very accurate and some of the very hot loads give me a lot more confidence re: stopping power.

i have a ruger lcp .380 and it is a great little pistol. very, very easy to carry concealed. i wanted something a little larger with a bit more punch that would still conceal well so i recently picked up a kel-tec pf9 (9mm). i have been impressed with the pf9 and it is now my daily carry. it is cheap (under $300), reliable and holds 8 rounds of 9mm. you should definitely give it a look before you make a final decision.
