Whichever one you shoot best.
Everyone has their favorites. I carry a G26 & J-frames. All 3 to choose from are fine choices. My advice is to get the one that fits you best. Cheers! -JC |

Love P938, that thing is a laser. I have a Kahr CM9 that I also really like, but it shoots a bit high for me. You should look into these 2.

I really don't get how ppl think a shield is soooo much easier to conceal than a G19. There really isn't much difference in size. I'm 5-10 185#'s and I can carry a g19 anytime of year.

But the Kahr CM9 can only be beat by the PM9. Kahr is THE way to go. |

I've had several LEO friends mention this too. After you put a larger mag in to help with the small grip your almost back up to a G19 just with over 1/2" less barrel and sight radius.

I've been carrying the Shield 9mm for about 2 months and it is the best purchase I have ever made. 8+1 9mm and super thin and concealable. Ive changed holsters a few times and have been using the Sticky holster and its extremely comfortable and disappears even when wearing metrosexual tight cotton tee shirts

I have the Shield 9mm and it surprised me how good it is.
If I'm going to carry a Glock 26, I'd rather carry a G19. Too thick for what offers. Never have tried the XD9. |

Is there any advantage to a Shield 9mm versus a Ruger LC9s? They have very similar specs except it looks like the Shield has an 8 round magazine available.

That's such a subjective list that I'd say shoot all three and decide for yourself. Honestly, holster availability is a big factor when considering a handgun for daily concealment. I prefer something single stack for that application.

I've come to despise IWB holsters, and only carry OWB. I was hoping the shorter barrel would help with that. They are chunky, that's for sure. |

Wide shoulders and narrow waist will allow even little guys like me to IWB carry a large gun. Hell I carried a G21 for a couple years. Lose weight, do pull ups. Problem solved. |
