The PF-9 is a great pistol, but it is closer to the size of the P-11 than the P3AT.

Shooting the P3AT is NOT a joy. I expect the PF-9 is even more of a handful. Of course, I expect it is better than my old P-40/P-357. That was painful to shoot.

For me, it isn't so much weight, as size. I carry my P3-AT in the provided "rug", with an extra magazine under the trigger guard. It prints as a wallet.

What I'd really love, would be a 9mm or 45ACP in titanium, made as "thin" as possible. There are a lot of "exotic" metals out there, which could allow the frames and slides to be made thinner and lighter. Of course, they are not going to be cheap. And I doubt that there would be enough people to buy them.
