Mossberg
Mossberg's.22LR handgun is a reliable concealed carry handgun that features an aggressively texturized grip, an ambidextrous magazine release, and a robust glass-reinforced polymer frame. The pistol's concealment weight is ideal, as it has a similar takedown system to a shotgun. The pistol ships with two ClearCount (TM), polymer magazines.
Beretta
Beretta's APX 9mm pistol is concealable and easy to carry. It measures less that 1" in width, and weighs less at 20 ounces with the loaded magazine.
