Maybe you folks can help me out. I've been searching and I'm getting nowhere. I'm looking for a small pocket type handgun that I can have with me when working out at the hunting lease. Something small that doesn't need a holster, but large enough to defend myself should some crazed animal run up. I have a Bersa Thunder 380, a gold plated (not really) Lorcin 380, and those are to bulky/heavy for what I'm wanting. My Ruger P97DC is too much also. My pops has a KelTec P11 9mm that I don't like cause the top of the grip is somewhat squared and blisters my thumb knuckle. His LCP just seems like it wants to jump out of my hand. I thought I had the perfect one picked out, a Kahr CM9, that was until I read about how you have to chamber the first round with the slide open and then insert mag. I want one I can just pull out of my pocket, put one in the chamber quickly, and go from there. It doesn't really matter 380 or 9, like I said I already have 380s but wouldn't mind adding a 9mm to the collection, but that means another caliber to buy. So with all that rambling, does anyone have any other suggestions to look at? Nothing over $350-$400. No revolvers.
