When you say small what size are you talking about in weight, barrel lenght, etc?

P40 or G27. The Kel-Tec is cheaper and can be reliable

 

[LPMan59]

glock 23 is a good choice. or glock 27 if you want smaller.

I love my G23, but somehow always end up carrying my G22 hog. I have fired a few 27's, they are small, they are awesome, just not for me.

springfield XD 40 sub compact w/ 12 rd mag ,love mine

No one has yet mentioned the XD .40 Subcompact. You can get this gun for a good price, comes with the Springfield Armory name, and accessories out of the box. Small size and numerous options.....

Glock G27

Not sure if Smith and Weson makes a M&P 40 Compact - I can't say enough for my M&P 9C - great concealable weapon. I know it comes in a 45 - not sure about the 40

My friend has a Walther PPS in .40 and he loves it. The gun is super duper slim and pretty lightweight. He hasn't had any problems with his.

go with the XD .40 sub compact great ergonomics easy for anyone to shoot and reliable

 

[01deuce]

yes they do make a M&P .40C would be a great choice.

One of the best-carrying .40 S&W pistols out there, in my opinion, would be the Kahr CW-40 or their P-40.

Very thin, light, and 6+1 capacity.

They also have the PM-40 which is even smaller.

yes, they are down on capacity on the G-27 and the M&P...but they're MUCH thinner and lighter. Trade-offs on everything.

If you like Glock, try a G27. I have one and love it. I carry mine everyday.

 

[KPierce]

Stoeger cougar is another low cost pistol that is compact and easy to carry.

 

[Shoots4Fun]

I agree on the G27. I'm sure there is a lot of stuff cheaper, but mine has been great. I also love the versatility with the different mags as I've posted on various threads here before...

yep it comes in .40. I agree, its a sweet gun. My choice would be between the M&PC, G23,27, and maybe the XD-sc

The XD 40sc is a great little gun. The first time I shot one I center punched the target. You can get Pearce grip extensions for the 10 rd mags, and the 12 rd mag gives you a full size frame grip.

You'd be well off with anything mentioned so far. We all have our personal preferences; get what feels the most comfortable and fits your needs.

 

[HICKMAN]

G27 or G23... the 27 is probably next on my list.

+1 on Kahr P40. My summer carry.
