You mean, like a Kahr? Kahr CW9/P9/PM9 are very close to that description.

That was my first thought also. Perfect description of a Kahr

Quick story about something that happened at the range last week. I have been carrying my Kimber Ultra carry exclusively for a couple three months now. I have been practicing with it at least once a week firing around 200 rounds each time. My Kahr PM9 use to be my daily carry. I use to practice with it as much as I practice with my Kimber. Last week I decided to take the Kahr along to the range with my Kimber. I fired a couple hundred rounds out of my kimber and then switched to the PM9. The very first round I fired the magazine falls out. Puzzled, I figured maybe I didn't set it properly. I reinsert and fire a couple more rounds, then bam...out it falls again. It was at this point that i realized I was holding it different than I used to and I was inadvertently hitting the magazine release. My grip had changed to conform to the Kimber Ultra carry size and shape. Now I got to thinking that this could be real bad if I had decided one night to take the Kahr as my weapon instead of the Kimber and actually needed it. Can you imagine how much it would suck to have the magazine fall out after firing one round at a bad guy. Talk about bad timing. Anyway, my point is that trying to use weapons that are configured differently is probably more of an issue than carry of weapons in different calibers. It sure made me rethink my habit of choosing weapons based on my dress choices. I kid you not, I was having serious issues not hitting that magazine release and this had never been an issue before I started practicing so much with my ultra carry.

PS sorry about the occasional miss on the caps...my laptop is about worn out and I can't afford a new one without cutting into my firearm budget.
