In my opinion, folks, it's the Model 3913, hands down, no question.
It's lightweight. It's flat and slim. It's as reliable as a hammer. It's accurate. It fires either double- or single-action. Your choice. It has a total capacity of 9 rounds, and unless you're facing a platoon-size gang of miscreants, that should be plenty. It's made of metal, not plastic. With proper 9mm ammo, it's quite effective on live targets - man or beast.
Yes, there are plenty of other 9mm pistols designed for discreet carry. Most are bulkier. Some have had teething problems. None are more accurate. Some will not handle specific types of ammo. Others have deplorable trigger pulls. More than a few are plug-ugly; no pride of ownership possible.
I'd even go so far as to say that this is arguably the finest 9mm concealment pistol ever made. If you are looking for the finest, I recommend that you find one - haunt the gun shows, the gun stores and the internet until you do. Then rest easy; you will be well equipped.
Disagree if you will - you know what they say about opinions, but I've thought it through and my mind's made up!
There are many of them, but this one is mine - a 3913NL, equipped with tritium sights. These made a special gun even more special for low-light use.

). I've owned a few all-metal Kahrs and they're great guns as well, but mine don't make it into the rotation very often. Too many 3rd Gens to fit in, I guess.
It's small, thin, accurate and easy to carry with 8 rounds.
