EDIT: Kirstang, fuck your Caspian 1911 and its finicky chokes. I've never had any reliability problems with my $600 beater Colt 1911.

Should have bought a S&W 1911.
===================================
Slims, thanks for that thorough review. Confirms what I've been hearing about EOtechs going down, although I am getting a used 552.A65 in a trade soon. Going to mount it on my bedside shottie and see how it runs before placing the 552 on bedside duty.
Now: To get the Thread back on Track
Walther PPS, 40 S&W:
Very slim, easy to conceal, especially during summer months. I tuck it in to a simple IWB and it disappears underneath my polo shirt. Grip is large enough so it isn't unpleasant to shoot (feels more like a snappy glock, than a LCP, or a snubbie .38). Very controllable, IIRC has a pretty decent trigger reset.
Only problem is the mag capacity--IIRC 6+1 in the .40 S&W config. Like I said, most SD shootings take place at contact distances and end within 7 shots, so 7 shots should be enough to end the encounter (for better or worse).
Here it is compared to a glock.
=================================
*ETA*: My Sig GSR RCS 1911 Caspian Frame is an uber reliable laser beam of death, until Plan 9 touches it. Then it suddenly starts jamming.
(Total joke, do not take this sentence seriously)
