If I were to ask for a recommendation on a gun that would provide the hardest hitting caliber but in the smallest sized gun for easy concealment, what gun caliber and model would you recommend?
Hardest hitting, smallest concealment gun

Rohrbaugh R9 is top of the heap for power-size.
followed closely (and for a lot less money) by the Kahr PM9
both are 9mms
Soon someone will say Kel-Tec P11, ignore them - a defensive pistol isn't good for much if it doesn't work.

Try the Kel-Tec P-11.
HA! j/k I dont even own one, couldn't resist!
I had a Khar CW40 that I was thrilled with after getting used to the trigger.

Your question is much too open ended to recieve any kind of valuable answer.
A Kel-Tec PF-9 is a very small, thin, single-stack 9mm.
A Glock 27 is slightly larger, .40 caliber, smooth, easily concealable gun.
Even still, there are 3" 1911 styles in a single-stack .45 acp that will provide a butt load of hard hitting force out of a very small package.
With some more detail, we could more easily give recommendations to add to your short list of guns to try.
1. What type of clothing do you wear day-in and day-out mostly?
2. How large of a person are you?
3. Do you have a preference in caliber/are you concerned about recoil force??

I have the Kahr CW9. Highly concealable and three different calibers. So very comfortable for carry and has been absolutely perfect out of the box. Great fit and finish even for Kahr's entry level gun. I'm adding the Crimson Trace laser this week. Trigger is long, smooth and clean break.

G29 10mm.
Very small guns in powerful calibers tend to be:
1. Hard to shoot accurately.
2. More prone to reliability & durability issues.
If you want something really small in a heavy caliber I would recommend doing a lot of research on what works and what doesn't. It would be best if you could shoot some of the guns you're interested in before buying.

My Walther PPS in .40 packs quite a bit of power in that small package. It's much thinner than a Glock 27, 30, and I think my 36. The Walther is also more accurate than any Glock sub-compact I've owned. I don't think there are many .40's on the market that are any smaller than the PPS in .40.
