My lil' CCW is Kahr CM9. Easily concealed, I use a Galco IWB leather holster and even with a tshirt on it's hid. Combat sights, 9mm, 6 + 1 (and available 7+1) mags, accurate at 15 yards. It does have a long first pull on the trigger but resets half way. $399 new most places.

I attended a concert and was frisked while carrying it. Slid it behind my belt buckle and went right through!

Don't know what's been said before. TL;DR. I carry the Springfield MP40SC love it. I also have the G21SF with TLR 2, love it as well. But the SMP40SC is easier on the hip. The laser, ditch it. It will fail at the worst possible time and you get used to using it at the range and when the SHTF, you're are phucked. As Cowboy says, that trigger looks like an abomination. It looks clumsy and like if you have large fingers that you may have trouble with proper placement.

Exactly, that laser gives him a very good illuminated target to shoot back at.

I'm guessing most bad guys aren't going to say "Damn... he hit me with a laser. I better surrender and do what I'm asked."

Some people like lasers, personally I do NOT own one.

Last thing they'll see is muzzle flash from me. I've practiced shooting in low light, I know where my handguns will hit from my grip.

I chose to buy one with a laser because the LCP is so small and not very ergonomic. It's a little awkward to handle so, I'd rather have the laser. It might not be useful for the first shot, but if I need to recover the aim, it might help.

Been looking at buying a Sig P938

The biggest issue i've seen posted online is that they don't like 115 grain 9mm ammo.

I am tempted to get one but i am not sure how i'd like to purchase 124 grain ammo to practice with.
