So, I'm looking for a single stack 9mm or similarly sized handgun for super double secret cc (SDSCC in the title ). I currently carry a Ruger 9E in a leather pancake holster. It conceals fine. Just going about my daily business, no one seems to notice. But there are times when I'm around certain people that I'd like something a little more concealable. Some family members aren't as comfortable about my carrying as I am. While that's fine, I'd just rather not have to take it off when I'm around them. I figure if I get something smaller that I'm still comfortable shooting, then I'd be able to carry without them knowing and dodge a headache. I'm leaning toward a Shield. I've rented one a couple times. It feels good in my hand and the trigger, IMO, isn't as bad as some go on about it, but, then again, my reference is somewhat limited. I probably have never felt a super smooth trigger pull (aside from a 1911 I rented once, but I digress...). I shot an LC9s. It's just too small. It didn't fit comfortably in my hand. I held and dry fired a Walther CCP. Man, it feels like it was made for my hand. The trigger pull is a bit long, but pretty smooth. I'd like to find one to rent. The biggest hang up I have about the CCP is having to use the tool to take it down for cleaning. I'm just not sure how likely I'd be to say "I'll clean it next time" because it seems like a PITA to do, or worse not shoot to not have to clean it. I'd like to get my mitts on a P365, but I have yet to find any of the shops I've been to that had one in stock. Are there any others I should check out? Any pros/cons to the few I've looked at? BTW, a Glock 43 is out. I've shot several Glocks and held the 43. None of them felt good in my hand and I shot all of them like crap.
