What about the Walther PPS? It looks like the perfect 9mm in a 380 package.

If it pans out to be a reliable and durable little handgun, I'm all for it...
I'd just be more comfortable if it had more T&E time in other people's hands before I bit the bullet to buy one. I love my P99 but I don't want to be on the "bleeding edge" of handgun design, if you get my meaning...
Kahr CW9 is $388 shipped from Bud's Guns

Really affordable, if you ask me. Plus, it gives him over $100 from his budget for ammo/training/mags/etc
Lets see if I remember the dates correctly...
.38 Smith and Wesson Special 1898/1899
.32 ACP 1899/1900
9x19mm 1902
.45 ACP 1905
.380 ACP 1908
There's another excellent single stack just $100+ and that's the HK P7. Other single stack 9's on the used gun market are the Walther P38/P1s, Star Model Bs. The best of those under his price would be the SIG 225/P6. I would also highly recommend one of the Smith & Wesson 3900 series.

I tend to carry my Kahr PM9. It is picky about hollowpoints, but I have found various loads that it likes.
My all time favorite carry pistol is the P7, but it is heavy by current standards.

I picked up an HK P7 PSP for about $600 a few months ago. It's a neat little piece and though I don't carry it regularly it's very concealable.
The only thing I don't like is the Euro mag release.
