I've owned and carried a PM9 and a PM40 as well as a Colt Cobra snubbie. While all 3 had their pluses/minuses I ended up selling them all for my Rohrbaugh R9S. They definitely aren't cheap but are VERY high quality pocket pistols. Mine is super accurate, with a smooth light trigger, and 100% reliable with every type round I've loaded in it. I never leave home without mine either in a custom pocket holster or IWB holster. I have to dress in business casual attire during the week and it disappears in my Dockers front pocket or my jeans back pocket on the evenings/weekends. It's virtually identical in size to the current popular .380 pistols these days but with the more powerful 9mm round. Just something different to think about. They aren't fun range pistols, but that isn't what they were designed to be. If you want a quality, dependable pocket pistol, it's the best I could find when I made the same search you are making...... unfortunately they aren't made in .40 so far.
They are 5.2"L x 3.7"H x .91"W, 6+1 capacity. 2.9" barrel, 17 oz. loaded weight
