depends how small you wanna go
A good compramise on size/weoght and capacity/power would be an XDS 9mm or 45 or a s&w shield 9mm or 40. All three calibers are roughly the same balistically in a 3" barrel (most 9mm defensive ammo will be around 300 ft/lbs and 45 prolly 330 ft/lbs, both with expansion of .55-.7", 45 will probably be on the higher side with less penetration). 40 and 45 still have a little extra edge over 9mm but not as much as they do in longer barrels.
If you wanna go a little bigger you could get a glock 26/27, M&P compact, SR9C. Or if you wanna go a little smaller there's the glock 42, ruger LC9/LCP, sig p238, etc mo I think the XDS/Shield are some of the most ideal CC guns though. Not to small, while not too big, and still pack a punch.
If you want a revolver take a look at the ruger lcr or a S&W J frame. The biggest factor in determining how easy something is to conceal is the grip width and height; that's what you need to pay attention to.

I don't know about ballistic velocities but when someone shots a 45 next top you at the range all the casings on the ground jump around while my 40 does squat. In other words it's got a lot more bang

So before I give my answer, I'm going to say, I do NOT like the super compact guns made for concealed carry. I could probably get used to them with tons of practice, but the frame is just too small (for me) to really get a good grip on. Every shot the gun tries desperately to wrench itself from my hand. When calm target shootings, that's fine I guess. But in an anxiety rich event such as having to use it for self defense, I would not want something where I have to readjust my grip every shot. I also cannot shoot worth a damn with them.
I'm pretty much left with full sized handguns. If I were picking one out, I'd probably go with a 1911. People do conceal carry them. They're reliable, they pack a punch, not overly bulky and they are accurate.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I have a colt 1911 defender in .45 Its a nice little gun with a 3in barrel and what not. I still can hit a target at 20yds, given the barrel length is 3in
Also have shot prlly 800 rounds through it that were all reloads besides the first 200. Only one failure to eject the catridge when i was breaking it in the first 100 rounds. None since then. Most likely he limp wristed the gun (let my buddy shoot a few clips)
