I went ahead and ordered one and finally got to pick it up today. The only weapon I've found so far that fit the bill, was the Kel-Tec P-11. These factors make it hard to fit the capacity that I desired (10+). In order to fulfill the first criterion it had to be thin and fairly light. I wanted something that I would carry consistently and had decent capacity. The P-11 is especially well suited for plain-clothes police officers, security personnel, or as a secondary weapon for military service members.A couple weeks ago I was in the market for a new CCW.
