OH in that case the small Glock single stack in 45 or the Sig P245 (I think it is now called the P220 compact but has a huge beaver tail on it that makes it bigger than it really is)
The P245 was a pleasure to shoot and was only slightly larger than my P230.
I wanted to get one from my buddy that was the Sig rep and bought the P220 Sport instead figuring I could always get the 245 later. If i come across one in a shop I will have to get it. OH it also had a different spring in the gun and recoil was very mild.
He is now the H&K rep. So they have the small .40 and 9X 19 in the 2000 models that are neat One is a sub compact. They have a cool short first shot trigger.
If you cycle the gun, and de cock it has a short trigger, if you then pull the trigger it has a typical DA trigger and the nlike all DA SA autos it has the single action. At the last Shooting fair I had all the H&K pocket pistols on me (6) in pockets and was carrying all the USPs to the safe after the first day. One of the Reps freaked out thinking I left the small guns in the booth un attended. Was surprised as I started to pull them out of pockets and waist bands.
On to other guns. I had a class mate that was a Navy Cheif in College in Norflok that liked the 1917 revolvers and had a few of them. both colts and S&W's He showed me one he had the hammer bobbed, the barrel shortened to 2" and the frame contoured and the grip rounded. It looked like a bloated Det Spl. but he had it in a plastic pencil bag in a three ring note book and have seen him stick it in his jeans front pocket.
I would like to see S&W make a 5 shot L frame 40/ 10mm, 41 mag, 44 Spl/ 44 Mag, 45 ACP, and 45 Colt gun with a 3, 4 or 4.5" barrel, rounded grip. Standard weight Barrel (not the heavy under lug of the 686) with Novak low profile tritium sights and Pachmyer round frame grips. That is annodized to a charcoal grey or matte black. They make a 5 shot Model 60 with a 5" barrel same concept shorter barrel for IDPA, CCW, or Hunting.
