I'd go with the Kahr and get a good pocket holster with an antiprint panel. The antiprint panels make it look like a wallet or PDA or big iPod or phone, etc.

Revolvers, due to their lumpy profile don't print in a regular Mika pocket holster. This is due to the width of the cylinder keeping the fabric of the pants from pulling against the grips. Semi-autos are flatter in the pocket but because all surfaces can make contact with the pants fabric tend to always show the gun shaped profile of the grip. Even my P-3AT in a Nemisis holster prints worse than my SP101 or S&W 340 in a Mika. I use a holster with an antiprint panel now for the KT and it disappears.
