What Is The Best Looking Micro Single Stack Pistol?
The title says it all. Lately, I have noticed a plethora of new micro-compact semi-auto's that come in calibers greater then .380. The 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45ACP are the new norm in these pocket rockets, and I'm sure we all have our favorites, so post your favorite single stack 9mm or greater micro-compact.
While I don't have one (yet), this puppy has got to be the hottest micro 9 on the market...

My preference leans toward the longer barreled Boberg in Black.

I like the Kimber SOLO
Howdy,
I like the looks of the Kimber Solo. I don't have one. I think they are elegant looking.
I have an XD-S. I'm liking everything about it, but it is a mite ugly.
The Rosie O'Donnel of little guns. Heck for stout and ugly as sin.
Thanks
Mike

Two things. One is what is the deal with Mounting Rails on a pocket semi? Really, are you going to mount a Pistol Bayonet on one? Only if you like self administered vasectomies. Are you going to mount a light on one? Kind of defeats the purpose of a pocket pistol. I know, it's for mounting a Laser sight, which also rather defeats the purpose of a pocket pistol.
Second, it's a CONCEALED CARRY pistol. Who cares about how it looks? What is VASTLY more important is how well it functions. For example I will admit the Kmber Solo is a very good looking pistol. However, the Solo is also DEFINED BY THE FACTORY as only working well with a specific list of "certified" ammunition. In this season of Ammo Shortages I don't want anything to do with a carry weapon that only works properly with a short list of ammunition, I'd much rather have some ugly lump that will eat anything I feed it.

Interesting, I haven't seen those yet.
Colt Officers ACP is the smallest I'm interested in going. The nicest I've seen are those worked over by Mark Morris

Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, this is about the subjective qualities of a pistol, specifically, the general appearance and impression one gets when looking and handling certain semi-auto, magazine fed, micro-compact 9mm and higher caliber pistols, not revolvers.

My main mouse gun is my Kimber Solo.
Sweet shooter and very, very accurate. Great sights too. Sorry for the poor quality pix and all the dust and deodorant as she is my everyday BUG.

How can we forget the S&W 3913...Well Smith seems to have forgot it!!!! The Diamondback 9mm is really small, I haven't had mine long enough to see how it will chamber and shoot....Very lite and slim...But will it shoot? seems to be a conflict in reports. some love it others have problems with chambering follow up rounds..Maybe limpwristing..I let you know as soon as I get time and weather to put a couple hundred rounds trough it...Well if I can find and afford the ammo.

I like your rocks, so colorful 
As far as concealed carry, nothing will come close to the Colt Goverment .380 , small and flat (perfect).

That is outright insulting, but those rocks are hard to resist
Maybe its time to bring in Caj to settle this

I saw fit to borrow your odd blue PPS fotos from the Walther forum and post them here. You really should take pride in that blue gun, even if it is a bit much.
