I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would meet your needs in a 4" .45 polymer frame.

Well there is the Kimber line, I think there is a following here in this forum, not too sure. Maybe one of the fellas or "a Guy" could point you in a direction.

Or check out the S&W M&P 9/40 Compact. With the mag pinky extensions you will get all the fingers on the grip. Right now they are offering $50 rebate and 2 free mags with a new purchase. Erognomics are much better than Glock IMO.

Other than that if you go O-Frame. Yes Kimber CDPs for me!

After browsin' the forums a little more, I am starting to get the impression that the compact Kimbers are a favorite here.

I would really like to find a holster for my CZ, but no real luck yet.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. It looks like I have a lot of research to do.

Ditto what Rico said. I have a 642 in my pocket right now...I tend to carry it more than anything else.

Ditto on at least one J-Frame in your group.

I know what you mean. I don't like to dangle my pinky. I carry the HK P2000SK and love it! I carry it with a 10 round mag., so I pinky doesn't dangle, and I get the benifit of an extra round. I just found out that HK recently addressed this problem with the introduction of a product made by them called the X Grip Magazine Adaptor. This is a plastic "sleeve" that indexes over the bottom of the magazine, and fills in this gap or void area, flush with the bottom grip of the pistol. They sell for $15.00 each. The part number is 702539.

You can down load the order form from Heckler&Koch

They will begin processing orders on 01-15-08.

My CCW includes the following:

Kimber Ultra CDPII
Kimber Compact CDPII
S&W 360PD

The Ultra is with me 6 days a week, and on Sundays it is about 50/50 between the ultra on the hip (in a Milt Sparks VMII) and the 360 on the ankle. It depends on the dress code and what guitar I'm playing.
