Actually yes. I use to carry my Kahr PM9 everywhere but once I bought this new P238 if I am in a situation where my new CCO is just a little much I carry the P238. The PM9 has just sat in the safe for a couple of months now. I am almost always wearing cargo pants or shorts and the P238 inside the DeSantis Nemisis or Galco leather pocket holster just fits in my front pocket perfect. I do have a DeSantis Pocket holster for my Kahr PM9 but in my opinion at least for me it's a little big for my pocket. When I carry my PM9 I carry it in a cheap blackhawk IWB holster that fits it perfect and I carry appendix position and I can't really tell its there. I sometimes carry my P238 appendix position as well if my pockets are to full.

I have probably been picking the P238 to carry over the PM9 because of it's 1911 style and all alloy frame...etc

Don't get me wrong for a DA only striker fire little polymer 9mm (Kahr PM9) I really like it. It's very small, slim and reliable which is great for conceal carry. And I think the Kahr pistols have some of the nicest DA triggers IMO. I also Have the little Kahr P380 and it is just as smooth and is very accurate, it's a little smaller and lighter than the P238 but I have been trying to stick to the 1911 style gun just to keep up with my muscle memory...etc.

WELL, sorry I know this is just a bunch of my thoughts and ramblings. I am not sure if this helped answer your question . Are you thinking of getting a PM9 or just wondering my preference.
I am sure I will still bounce between the 2 in different situations they are both great guns. But hey I just love 1911's and the style of the small P238. I wish someone would figure out how To make something like the 238 but maybe a little bit bigger (not much) but have it chambered in 9mm.
