+1 on the M&P. Beautiful design that has the ergonomics nailed and is ultra reliable.

Now had he shot a 5 shot 2 inch group off hand at 25 yards in that card he would have got my attention.

The ‘consensus’ on stopping power leans toward heavier calibers, but I follow the theory that maximum placement on target per unit time is vastly more important. And when you can only carry one magazine practically, that magazine should provide sufficient rounds to do the ‘job’.
Given this, the LC 9 is probably most convenient and comfortable for daily wear, but being lighter it tends to jump more when fired, requiring more time to reacquire the target. It also carries only seven rounds without provision (yet) for an extended magazine.
The PPS and the Glock are my favorites because they fire almost identically, carry more rounds (9 and 13 respectively), and balance carry weight with accuracy and hits on target per unit time.
For steady, rapid and accurate placement of shots, the P250 is best, partly because of the slightly longer barrel and it is slightly heavier than the others. An interesting feature of the P250 is that the serial number is on the trigger assembly. My P250 is configured as a Compact, but it can be reconfigured as a Subcompact or a Standard Frame and still retain the same serial number.
Concealing the weapon and still being able to draw and fire rapidly is important to me. If I could carry a shotgun in my pocket I would. The P250 is not the best for concealment, but I feel very comfortable with it in the nightstand by my bed, and as a night weapon, the tritium sights add a great deal to its practicality.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately my experience has been different and have to be very careful what brand of ammo is used. Jam, jam, jam and have sent it back to CZ at least twice if not a third time.
