For DEEP concealment, I would use a Kel-Tec PF9 with belt-clip, 7+1 , 12 oz, and +P Corbons. Otherwise, I'd use my Kel-Tec .380acp with belt-clip, 6+1, 8 oz, with 90 gr +p wallopers.
I got my Kel-Tec .380 around 2005?, when the Ruger LCP .380 was having recall problems.
These are great for a grab when going to the store to get gas for the mower, grocery store, etc., especially in hot weather. They conceal so easily with a width of 0.88 inches and have been flawless for years now, but they have some bluing worn off in areas...I don't care as they will be paperweights when I get done with them.
The PF9 has a real bite to it with +P ammo, but I only run 16 rounds through it per year, since I don't need to engage targets beyond 20 feet.
Same withe the .380s, they give me a 4 inch group at 30 ft, too, with minimal aiming.
For regular concealment, I prefer a .45acp... my favorite is a Colt Defender, 7+1, less than 1 inch thick & 22 ozs. It also has a belt-clip for concealment, with a crossbreed for long-term carry.
