My Kimber Ultra Carry 9mm 1911 is a bit big and uncomfortable for daily carry, especially in the summer. BTW I carry IWB at the 4-5 o'clock position. Any suggestions welcome but I've narrowed it down to the following: the Kahr PM9 and Walther PPS. Have held both and are comparably priced. Leaning towards the Walther.

Would appreciate thoughts based on actual experience (reliability, ergonomics, concealability, etc). Also not looking for the absolute smallest firearm out there, one that is an effective shooter but extremely easy to conceal with a t-shirt and shorts.

Just for giggles, I've also researched two polar opposites (from a cost point of view) for this type of pistol, the Kel-tec PF-9 and the Rohrbaugh R9S. The Kel-tec being the least expensive and the Rohrbaugh being on the high-end. Not too worried about cost, just want to get the best option for my money.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
