Not sure on cost comparison; but really like my sig 365. Carry with sig ammo designed for short barrel pistols. Allowed several to shoot it and i think all replaced their previous carry gun with one. A ruger lc9 pro i tried when they first came out had an incredible trigger. I've read that the shield ez easily won a comparison test of female shooters (new and experienced) a couple years ago. I know a swat team member who caried a shield with an apex trigger kit as backup.

I only own one semi auto 9mm, and it’s a Glock 43. Wonderful pistol to carry and shoot. Very accurate and reliable. I don’t carry it anymore though. I’ve actually went back to carrying a 1911 45. But highly recommend it for someone wanting a carry 9mm auto. I keep a 9mm in the truck, but it’s a SP101.

I carry a Glock 26 daily and trust my life to it. Since that’s off the table, I’ll say a Glock 43. Shield Arms now makes a reliable flush-fit 15-round steel magazine for it as well.
I run Glocks for all my serious fighting pistol needs - this is after 12 years of Marine Corps/combat experience, being a Foreign Weapons Instructor for the Marine Corps, and cross-training/working with all the three letter agencies as a FAST platoon sergeant. All my glocks wear Ameriglo Agent sights. If they have a rail, they have a streamlight TLR-1 or TLR-7.
For my money though, the width difference in the 43 and 26 are negligible when you consider the magazine compatibility and shootability of the double-stack 26. It handles as well as a full size for me and takes 10, 12, 15, 17, 21, and 33 round magazines that I can also run in my other pistols and carbines.
In a Vedder lite-tuck IWB kydex holster it completely disappears. I carry it with a 12-round magazine and keep a 15-round as a spare. Had thousands of rounds through it with zero failures.

For what it is worth... i know someone who had an early sccy 9mm. He carried in pocket of overalls on farm. He constantly complained about it jamming and not shooting well; but he also didnt maintain it well so that could have easily been a factor.

The newer SCCY's are reliable. I've owned the 1st gen and they weren't. Factory recalled/replaced. Had to do with molded frame. I've run reloads of various cast bullets through my current one with nary a bobble.

Glock 43X. Great gun. Slim and easy to carry and conceal. The X has a longer grip frame. Hold 10 rounds.

I'm not really a "glock guy" - but here the Glock is hard to beat. Excellent gun especially for this purpose, and I also support the comments above on the model 26

..well Mr. Bradshaw...have your friends made a decision? ***** Passing along information gathered here. I’m not up to date on new subcompact pistols. Familiar with Glocks, earlier SIG/Sauers, including the exceedingly reliable P230 .380 Auto, Walther and clone .380’s, and Beretta .380’s which are very reliable but not subcompact. Recent shooting under ZERO temps, with guns left in the cold days on end, reinforces my distrust of trigger action on DA autos and Glocks when wearing a glove. Of course, you can and should remove glove to shoot under immediate need, but the bare hand is NOT sustainable for more than a couple minutes, so you don’t carry a gun in your hand that way. The old 1911 and proper double action revolver work, providing you get a gloved finger on the trigger at all. And of course a single action revolver is always a single action, so with gloved hand it is standard practice to insure glove isn’t pinched under hammer on cocking. Likewise, glove does not overlap hammer spur at full cock. Recent hard cold instances of killing livestock include a Model 29 fired single action @ 30 yards, and SIG/Sauer P229 shorter distance. Both gun-in-hand situations, plenty of time between Low Ready and Fire to cock hammer. The deal against hard cold is the TRIGGER. Single action also provides a larger opening to fit gloved finger inside trigger guard. In this regard, a Ruger Bisley trigger guard is more accessible then the Peacemaker/Blackhawk trigger guard. But the action of the trigger and its ability to reset also is paramount to whether your are able to fire the gun under the adversity of hard cold. None of which concerns folks I’m trying to steer toward a hideout pistol. Although, when I put the S&W M-640 J-frame against the Glock 27 under this gloved shooting, the revolver wins. For persons only concerned with the immediate action drill, glove-off operation only. Unless someone has the marksmanship in their blood, you never know how they will act. David Bradshaw
