Have a couple cop buddies with the SCCY (very comparable to the Kel-Tec P-11), and had a opportunity to give them a run-through. Very 'likeable', quite usable at 'self-defense ranges'. Have a lighter trigger pull than the P-11's I've owned at utilized, but I still prefer the P-11 as, for the same size handgun (with optional flush-fitting mags), ya have 12+1 of 9mm.
Nothing 'wrong' with the .380, but I just prefer the slightly better power (and variety) supplied by 9mm ammo. Didn't find the SCCY all that 'snappy', and quite easy to handle. But it IS a long DAO pull. That may bother some folks.
SCCY comes out with the same type of 12 rnd. flush fitting mag, and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a couple.
YMMV.

I'd carry one of these first.
Personally, I think you'd be smarter with the Glock 26.
Maybe, maybe not. I don't like the feel of the g26 in my hands which leads me to believe I may not shoot it well.
I'd check out the M&P 9c then. You may like it better.

My dad recently bought an M&P shield 9mm. I put about 100 rounds through it, and it was great. He said it was a very nice ccw
I guess I've just had good luck with most of undesirables already mentioned
had a sccy cp2 ($200ish) ran perfectly over 1000 rounds like a fool I read into all the hype and sold it
also have a LCP ($280)and it's eaten everything I've fed it , CW380 ($300) almost flawless - I know it
will NOT feed fiochi, and it needs the slide released with the lever not slingshot, after that was figured out it's been perfect
and it shoots like it's 4 x larger than the lcp
tcp ($200ish)- coon fingered enough of them like the trigger and for the $$$ as good as any other
.380.
for summer ccw go with the tcp it's within .1" length and height of lcp and actually narower
for 9mm obviously add $100-$150 and you have a lot more choices, though the sccy for $230 -$250 is a good buy
buy the one that fits your hand the best then learn what makes it tick and feed it what it likes
I now typically carry a shield 9 or cw380
good luck

I love the G26; I have one and carry it quite often. But it's nowhere near as tiny and easy to carry as a TCP. A G26 is a dream to carry with proper holster and belt setup, but a TCP can be carried without those things - just a pocket holster. I have literally put the TCP into the mesh pocket of swimming trunks (to drive up to the corner store when camping/wading, not to purposefully get the gun wet) and it worked fine.
I'm not trying to talk you out of a G26, but you came into this thread looking for a $200-ish very small pistol. Now you've doubled in price and size because everybody has been railing on the less expensive, smaller guns. Just be completely sure what you want.

Already bought one and a holster, and an extra mag. Thanks us defense solutions.
Aliengear holster...waiting on it.
That's a good one.I waited almost 4 weeks for my Aliengear holster to arrive...but it was worth the wait. you made a great holster choice too! congrats

I would go with a M&P Shield or a Kahr.I trust my life to a Kahr P9.
OP i have to disagree with alot of the posters here. unfortunatly our gun culture has gotten itself into the mindset of if its more expensive its better! wich is simply not the case at all. Ive had my sccy cpx-2 over a year now, and have never had 1 issue with it ever, once a week i go to the range and put at least 50 rounds thru it, I had a back pin starting to work out slowly but never affected the gun what so ever and was a simple remove old, drive in new, that of course sccy had to me free of charge within 2 days. I would trust my life to my sccy anyday. My step dad bought a rather expensive ruger 9mm, pardon that i dont know what model so far its been back to ruger 4 times now. Ive not used the 380. Ive recommended the cpx-2 to any friend or family member that were looking for an affordable and reliable carry weapon. 6 of them have bought a sccy as well and all loved them. so there is a review from someone who has actually owned, does own, and does shoot the pistol.
At the end of the day this is your choice to make...not ours. If you really want one of the pistols you named above get it. Take it to the range and see if it is reliable enough for you. I have hear people swear by TCP, and I have see people swear at them. I would not carry one but that is me. I have also read good reviews on the CPX-2 and bad reviews. Your best bet is finding a range that has a large rental selection and trying a few different pistols out.
