With the exception of the .380, none of these weapons are suitable for concealed carry. They're all too big.

And a .380 has the knockdown power of a mayfly.

There's a pocket Glock in.40 that's very concealable, as well as some really small .45s [although the recoil is probably a bear]. With .45s, though, the issue is price.

What I don't understand is why Prof. Adams is: [a] Taking pistols on hunting trips instead of revolvers, and [b] taking smaller caliber handguns when he's hunting game with bigbore rifles. When I hunt boar, I use a .45-70 Guide gun - and carry a .44 mag Bisley as backup.

I have carried daily either a Ruger Security-Six (4" barrel), Ruger P-90 4 5/8" barrel), S&W 64 (3" barrel) and a SA XD-9 9 (4" barrel). I have no problems with concealed carry with these models. You need to pick your clothes and holsters accordingly.
