I just posted a pic of my daughter and her LC9. Overall took about 4mo to decide. It met most of the features based om her type of use. Aafter taking the pic and posting just now. She said the next one she wants is an XDs. The XDs will be her home and travel wepon. I like that after our search she came away with a good understanding of what each caliber can do. Having the right tool in the tool box makes all the difference.
