Ankle carry is better suited for a second gun , than for an " only" gun .

I began to wonder what the author's native language might be.
Full metal jackets (FMJ) bullets, on one hand, have flat tips and are good in penetrating anything that comes into its path.
However, both the ball ammo and the FMJ have one thing in common which is not very agreeable.
Using these two, they tend to pass through the body on close range shot. And that makes these bullets very dangerous to use when in public and shooting a criminal to immobilize him.
Ok, that’s enough for the backgrounder!
Concealment is most important to me so my choice is 380.
People often over look Khar Arms, I had a CW380 for several years before I traded up to a CW40 and K40 for more fire power based on some of my LEO buddy's recommendation.

Have a CW380 and PM9. Great little pistols, the PM9 is dead reliable with everything, pretty accurate and easy to shoot fast. Ended up getting replaced with a P365, same size, but better trigger, better sights, faster to shoot and 4 more rounds of capacity. The CW380 is a little ammo picky, but most FMJ and loads that use XTP bullets are reliable. Main issue some have is the really steep feed angle, and they can have feed issues, older models had weak mag catches. Both have a nice DAO trigger, the long smooth 7# pull is good for control, but has the full length reset most all DAOs had before short reset triggers like the GLOCK safe action came around.

I also had the P9 which I carried for many years until I switched to the P365 after the bugs were worked out. I have the P380 which I have added fiber optic sights and a laser for a better sight picture. One thing about Kahr's, for small barreled guns, they are very accurate.
I will give the heads up that Kahr is designed for Small Hands . This can be good or bad depending upon the shooter .
And then of course the whole supporting a Religious Cult thing .
John from MD, what bugs were ‘in’ the 365?
Ex got a Kahr in .40 while we were still married.
Instructions said to shoot 200 rounds for break in before trusting it.
We took it to the range, and between the two of us, barely got 100 rounds through it. NASTY snap.
OTOH, I took my P365 to the range and put 200 rounds through it, and wished I had brought more ammo.
