That is a lot of gun to carry.
Kimber does make a nice mini 9mm that my neighbor has. It is $1500
or
so.

I am looking at a couple of Sig's, P239 and P938, a Beretta Nano and
the gun I have always
wanted a Colt Mustang .380.


Check out the S&W Bodyguard, too.

----------------------------------

I have a S&W Bodyguard 380. As the name suggests, it's a close up,
self defense pistol only and not something you'd go to the target
range with except maybe to practice at 7 yards or so. Double action
only with an excessively long, 10 lb. trigger pull as it comes from
the factory. It took me a while to adjust for the tendency to shoot
low because of the long trigger pull.

It's also a pain in the rear to break down for cleaning because of the
weird little lever/pin that must be positioned and manipulated in
exactly the right way in order to re-assemble. I've had mine apart
many times and still have difficulty sometimes getting it back
together properly.

Despite it's drawbacks, I still like it. It's small, light and is
easily concealed if you carry. The long trigger pull and lack of an
exposed hammer makes it a very safe carry pistol. I bought a pocket
holster for it and on the few occasions that I carry, I just stick it
in my pants pocket.
