I have bought and sold a few concealed carry pistols in the last few years and this is my favorite combo by far. I also use a Crossbreed mini-tuck. The mini-tuck is nice and probably better if I ever had to draw under duress, but it's not quite as concealable. Still a great option.

Had a Kahr MK9 - basically a steel version of the CM9. Steel is too heavy IMO.
Had a Glock 26 - small pistol, but double stack is far inferior to single stack as far as comfort. I would like higher capacity, but I just didn't carry the 26 often b/c of the width.
Had a Kahr 380. Loved the size for pocket carry, but it was a 380.

You could substitute the Ruger LC9, Kimber Solo, XDS 9 (as if you will be able to find one when they come out), etc for the Kahr CM9, but the Ruger has a weird safety and crappy sights (IIRC) and the others are more expensive.
