    The PPS is ~1/3 of an inch thinner than the P99c, similar to the difference between a Glock 26 and a Glock 43.

    I figured that one was a stretch, but wasn’t sure if you fully disqualified SAO as an option.
    For the record I don’t recommend the XR9S as a carry gun, but I bought one when I was testing options.

    Some googling suggested it has reliability issues. Seemed like that was enough to cross it off immediately.

    PPS is an abbreviation for Police Pistol Slim. It is a single stack that is similar in size to a S&W Shield The P99C has a thicker slide and grip.

    The PPS is about 1/4 inch slimmer and about 1/4 inch shorter than an SR9C, I beleive.

    Kimber Micro 9 (and Micro 380), similar to P938/238.

    Here are their actions:


    As you can see, they are very small pistols.
    I used to carry a Micro 9 before the P365 came out.

    EDIT: added some size comparison pictures

    G42 (380) vs. XR9S (9mm)

    The Keltec PF9 seems to qualify as well.


    EDIT: and Bond Arms Bullpup.

    Just as an FYI, the Bond Arms Bullpup is the XR9S, just rebadged and with very minor tweaks in material.

    I was asking about these (or the normal SA version) as a small gun to keep around the house for new shooters. I’m waiting until I have a chance to actually see and shoot one.
