You might also look at keltec, they make some small handguns.  My recommendation is get one that you trust and feel comfortable carrying.  You are the person who will carry it so your opinion of what is best is the most important.  If you have further questions, PM me, I won't post a lot of info on open (or restricted for that matter) forums.

G27is a great idea, by all means. Considering how big of a Glock fan I am, you would think it would have been a first choice. The only thing holding me back from this is the fact that the G27 is a bit bulky for what I need. But the holster rig, I will def check out. Thanks a million!

I have a Glock 23 and 27. Both are great for CC. I use the 23 in a nylon inside the pants holster. The 27 also fits in the same holster. I would go with the 27 cause it is smaller and you can carry it in an ankle holster.

I would recommend a baby Glock or Ruger LCP (very reliable)

Rugers are disqualified because of my lack of faith in them actually. I've owned 3 in the past and have had problems with every one of them. On top of that, their reputation is very over-exagerated. If you look at the website, you will always find numerous recalls. For me, that is not too comforting.

I carry a 22 as my primary on duty with a 27 backup/off duty.

As a backup, I carry the 27 in a DeSantis nemisis inside the pocket holster in the left outer BDU pocket on my uniform trousers...there's just a velcro closure on the flap.  With the pleated stripe on the outside of the trouser leg (running down the pocket) and the double thickness of the pocket flap, nobody has ever noticed where I carry my backup. It's very handy there, cuz that's right where my left hand naturally rests when I'm standing.

Off duty, I carry the 27 in a nylon inside the waistband holster at 3 o'clock under a polo shirt or T shirt.

Using the 22 mags in the 27 is a big selling point.  BTW, I have the +2 mag extensions on the 27 mags so I have 11 rds in the pistol.  The 2 rd mag extensions improve the grip tremendously.

I practice quite a bit with the 27 in my left hand because I'm NOT a lefty.  It comes out of the inside the pocket holster very smoothly and quickly.  Even when seated in my unit.

The 27 is everything that every other Glock is....dependable and accurate.

I've always thrown in my Kel-Tec P3-AT (.380 ACP) in on suggestions like this...however, what good is a gun without any bullets? I'd get a .38 SPC or a 9mm before I'd get a .380....ammo is just impossible to find right now- especially .380!

Just picked up some 380 at Bass Pro Shops today. I got lucky!

Yeah you did, I've been on backorder since Febuary!

They are certainly thin, but not too terribly comfortale to hold...

I carry a Glock 23 or 27 inside my waistband at the small of my back. I have carried a Glock 22 with a light and had no trouble concealing it under a regular shirt. I am not smaller than average but no one has ever spotted it.

I'd personally carry a LM4 Simmerling by American Derringer. it's a 5 shot really compact 45acp. Just about 3" tall and 5" long. 

How can a cop afford one - if they can find one???  There's one on Gunbroker right now... for $4,000 dollars. Also, where will you get replacement parts if / when the weapon is damaged? There is an AMD model for $805 right now, but the reserve is not met - probably won't be at that rate.

A better, more practical alternative would be a Kahr PM45 - it even holds another round, comes with a warranty, has a good track record, has less points for debris to enter the weapon, is highly corosion resistant and is roughly the same size. There are several good, reliable guns available these days for a heckova lot less money and a lot better maintenance.

I'm looking for a decent CC gun. I carry a Glock 22 for duty and as personal carry right now but I want something .380 to .38 for CC. I want something I can holster at the small of my back. I know Kahr makes some decent CC size pistols, but haven't had the chance to look much further. All Rugers are out of the question. Any ideas?

I have a Colt 380 Mustang.....6+1 round clip  w/hollow points...hardly bigger then the palm of your hand but it will for sure get their attention..........perfect for back pocket or inside holster carry.

BAH...you can't fool me. That's an add for KAHR Arms...

THEY are comfy to hold 

As far as finding one any dealer that carries American Darringer firearms can get them. As far as affording one you actually got me on that one, yes they are very spendy. 

I have seen a lot of good guns here so i would just throw in my own, i personally carry a PA-63 in .380 with SXT ammo, it's small, comfortable and reliable, i've put thousands of rounds down range and never had a problem.

One point to mention about it is the long first pull (This aggrivates some and they go to get it polished down to a more reasonable pull) i like the first pull as it gives me a nice absolute (Yes your honor i 'Did' mean to shoot, no it wasn't an accident, Etc.)

the gun is based off the Walther PPK Design so, if it looks like something you would like i would reccomend it.

Hope this helps.
