Help me pick out a new pocket 9mm

I'm looking to buy a pocket 9mm under $650. I've looked at the lc9 and the kahr cm9. What are your thoughts on these two guns and/or and guns in this size range. I just can't talk myself in a .380.

LC9 or M&P shield

Sig P938
Not sure how much they run though normally, but I've seen them on sale for under $650

Diamondback makes a real small one, but I've heard mixed reviews.

Don't forget the keltec pf9

I researched these extensively when I bought mine. The only answer in the price range is the lc9.

Have you dry fired an LC9 yet?
No chance of a negligent discharge there

The kahr you have listed is the larger version isn't it? If it was the smaller one I would be all over it but I have to stay with the pocket size bc I am limited as to how I can carry at my office. If it doesn't fit in my pocket it will show costing me my job. Love the gun though

I've read a lot of bad reviews of the diamondback and they have scared me.

No. The PM9 is the smallest gun Kahr makes. That's what my suggestion was going to be. I have a PM45 (slightly larger) and it's very concealable.
I'd go for the one he listed, $450 is a really good price on one of those.
ETA: smallest 9mm kahr makes

M&P Shield. I love mine. Its incredibly accurate and is easy to shoot. Best CCW I have ever owned and I have gone through many trying to find the right one.

Don't buy a Diamondback.
I have a Kahr CM9 with about 4-5k rounds through it. It always works as is always with me one way or another.
BUT, all this talk of "pocket carry" is a bit overdone. My thoughts on a 9mm as a pocket carry piece:
1. I can carry my Kahr CM9 in SOME pockets, whereas my dad can carry his Kahr P380 in ALL pockets. It is that much smaller.
2. The ammo in the magazine of a 9mm weighs considerably more than that of a 380. If you get a metal-framed Sig 938, good luck comfortably carrying that in your pocket without it tugging your pants all day.
3. Everyone of these guns would be PERFECT for IWB carry. The slim, single-stack guns completely disappear in a waistband. I see no reason for you to exclusively carry this in your pocket.
4. If you want a designated pocket carry piece, look into some 380s. They may be only 380 ACP, but they will ALWAYS be with you. It's more important to have a gun than no gun at all, regardless of the cartridge it fires.
Just some thoughts...

Like cptrusty said. Smallest one kahr makes and a hell of a deal.
