But if the Magnum Research road is too big... I think Kahr has many ccw options (I but I don't know if they fit in described buget). See if you like the Subcompact Springfield XDs, I think that they are in that price range(?). I know not all the Kel-Tec are presentation pices but, the important question is do they fit the bill(money, size, your hand, the small of your back, the needed job etc.)
