But does it have a “Grip Zone”?
I prefer a revolver for anyone who does NOT shoot frequently.
I was in the military police in the Air Force AND shoot locally and I would still not carry a semi-auto on me for concealed carry.
Keltec PF9 for me. It may not be the best quality gun, but it’s not bad either. It sure did the job for Zimmerman.
If you carry your gun regardless, it’s always better to have the best gun you can comfortably carry. For me, I wanted the lightest gun possible in 9mm since carrying is often a game-time decision based on whether I feel like lugging it around to where I’m going.
The best gun is always the one you have on you when you need it, and I’m pretty sure the PF9 still holds the lightest 9mm title, though I haven’t been following that closely of late.
My primary EDC’s are as follows:
LCP
LC9
XDS-9
To shoot, the XDS (like my XDM in .40) is the easiest at longer ranges, but, it’s the largest, so the LCP ends up being carried more.
These are the family EDCs.
Fool proof so far, easy to shoot.
9mm for the ladies, .45 for the gents.
I recommend them from personal experience.
BTW, the extended mags make it fit my hands perfectly.
“Our society are full of conceal-carry options.
Right now is probably considered the golden age of personal defense handguns galore for the consumer.
You can get just about any size and caliber all design to go with you anywhere.”

Why do you keep posting this illiterate and not-very-informative crap? Are you J Hines?
My wife loves the XD-E I purchased for her. It is hard for her to rack a slide and the reduced energy required on the XD-E suits her well. Gun is a little larger than previous choices ( Glock and Ruger in .380) but more manageable for her to fire.
The striker-fired pistol is an abomination.
I like both Glock’s and XD’s. One can have many long debates about which is better/simpler/safer. IMO the Glock is simpler therefore more reliable. The XD has added nice features, but in doing so might create a reliability problem (very doubtful in most circumstances). For example, does the cocked and loaded indicator on the XD, a very nice feature, outweigh the possibility that the grip safety could disable the gun if it ever got fouled by dirt? I would carry either one without concern.
Mr. GG2 carries it in .9mm. It’s affordable and reliable.
My Taurus PT-709 Slim, which is actually one inch think, is very concealable, and light-weight, as well.
I love my XDs in .45 Auto. It’s a dinky gun that shoots pretty good. I’m a big guy so I run the 7 round mag full of Critical Duty and one in the pipe.

They merely license the name.
Anyone who claims there is a “best” CCW does not know anything about concealed carry.
