Concealable carry

[Obiwan]

I like the Kahrs.  Pick a caliber - they're all good.  (I love my K40).  I also like the Kel Tecs.  I have a P11.  Hard to beat 11 rds of 9mm in a gun that weighs only 14oz empty.  They have a lifetime no BS warranty.  Put that in your pocket and you're good to go.

I rotate between an S&W 442, Ruger SP101 & Glock 26. I use the DeSantis Nemesis & the Old Faithful IWB holsters.

I own a Walther PK380, would strongly recommend a different .380. There has been a recall on some models due to safety no working properly. Mine was not one of those, but it does have some user friendliness issues I do not like: you have to have an empty magazine to lock the slide, the ejector does not eject well unless there is a magazine behind it sometimes allowing it to fall through the grip and 8 times out of 10 after chambering a round and dropping the magazine the next round will come loose. Customer service was a pain, haven't sent it off yet though... not looking forward to seeing how they handle that process. I don't care for the safety location, very awkward to disengage while drawing or while in grip. However, the little guy is incredibly accurate.
My eye has been on the Ruger LC9 since it is a very similar  in size to it's .380 equivalent, and since the diameter of the bullets are the same ammo capacity should be similar.

I've been looking for a pistol I can carry. Im not a small person, but im not that big either. I tried a friends .45 if remember correctly rockwell did it with a hip holster under a shirt. It didn't look right.

My question is. For stopping power/concealablity I have 3 in mind.

Walther ppK
.380

P22
22 cal

P99
9mm
Or any other suggestions on a pistol would be very helpful

This thread seemed to go off on a tangent , but I am going to reply to this post .

I'm not a big fan of the PPK ( I have shot 2 different PPKs neither were mine , but both had triggers that weren't to my liking & pistol is a large .380 )
.22 is not what I would recommend as a primary carry item for self defense
Brings us to the P99 ..,looks like an interesting piece .

Other
You have ruled out Glock
So my other suggestions would be
.380 COLT mustang  ( I have an older 80s era Colt .380 Govt ) these are very accurate say to shoot . They have safety features and a lever for "safe" mode - I cannot say enough about this pistol . I carry this is a Desantis holster

Polymer striker fired pistols are popular for a reason . Don't fight it
Look at XDm 3.8, or new XDs in 9mm.  ( I own a full size XDm 5.25 9mm - very high quality )

SIG makes a small .380 & 9mm single stack ( never owned either but hey give me time )

To keep it back on topic:

I own and carried a PPK .380 for about 25 yrs.  Mine is German, bought new in '67 and would only work with hot loads - my own handloads (4.2gr Unique on 90gr Sierra JHP), Super Vels  and later CorBons (Hydra Shoks are too long OAL for my mags).  Standard loads would stovepipe and i didn't want to get a replacement spring.  Upside - coolness, and, with modern loads, probably reasonably effective.  Downside - heavy"ish" gun, heavy DA trigger (but a nice SA letoff) and the slide would put "railroad tracks" on the web of the hand occasionally.  Sights are OK. You can get modern technology DAO 9mm/.40/.45 to do exactly what the PPK does.  Mine goes to the range periodically just to exercise it.  I carry other guns now.

.22 cal - nope.  not enough punch (except, possibly, .22 Mag in the Ruger revolver)

P99 - good option, but not small.  Apples and Oranges comparison with a PPK.

It kind of goes full circle to the Kahr, KT, or Solo, Shield, XDs, etc for a carry gun.  Go shoot a few and decide then.

Then buy a GOOD GUN belt and a decent holster and don't try to hide it under a tight T-shirt.

But how else would I show off my "guns"?

In one of the threads, which I can't seem to find, we were posting pictures of our carry rigs.

Here's the 3 rigs for my LCP.   One is IWB, one inside pocket and one is for ankle carry.

My XDM was my everyday, everywhere carry for the last year.  Here it is next to my Father's Day present an XDs both wearing their Concealment Solutions Black Mamba
