Justin,I say you have to try to see which one fits you(of course including shooting)Justin CHL wrote:I am in search of a slim 40 or 45 for those times when I'm wearing clothing that makes it difficult to carry my XD 40. I have done a little looking around and found a Walther and Kahr, but I don't know much about the history and dependability of the Kahr. Any input would be appreciated.

The Glock-30 is my daily carry as well.HerbM wrote:I really have no problem with the Glock 30 (same frame as the G21) in .45 but the Glock 30 is noticably slimmer than the 30.
Bought one for my daughter and carried for a while before the next time I visited here out of state.
Quite happy with it (or the G30 which will itself disappear even under a T-shirt with the proper holster).

The Walther PPS comes in 9mm and .40S&W. It is by far the slimmest pistol I've ever seen in a caliber that starts with a four.
(I thought it was a little bit ugly, ungainly looking, but it didn't feel too bad in my hand. Never actually fired one.)
BTW, I was looking for pistol slimmer than my double-stack .40. That lead me to look at single-stacks which took me straight to 1911s, which eventually lead to me buying the Kimber Utra CDP II.
You can get thin grips for a 1911 to slim it down even more. The thin grips are normally seen as something for people with smaller than average hands (my hands are average, at most, and I love the slimmer grips), but can also aid in making it more concealable.
