I see and agree with many posted here. But I cast another vote for the Ruger LC9S Pro.

I'll vote for the Ruger LC9s. Has 7-8 round mag capacities in 9mm and is a sweet little pistol to shoot with a short light trigger pull...and accuracy is excellent for a short-barrel pistol

I like the Ruger LC9S PRO the PRO has no manual safety. I like the sights and trigger pull. Accuracy is good. A small enough pistol to EDC in shorts and a t-shirt. With single stack mags easy to carry a extra mag or two also. I don't know why Ruger dropped this model for the EC9 ???

EAA Windicator made in Germany. 6 rounds of 357 mag, only $350.

Walther p99

CZ 82 12 plus 1 9X18MM punch.

Glock 42. P365 now also. Good sized locked breech .380 makes stacking rounds with a quickness an easy affair. 1 pound fully loaded on the 42. Tough to beat if you want heavy doses of comfort and shootability at the cost of power and capacity.

I already mentioned the Sig P290RS but let me add a Glock G30 to the list. Lot's of firepower in a very handy package that's surprisingly soft to shoot for some reason that defies physics.

My first Glock was a 30. It was incredibly soft shooting. Now I want one with a 29 barrel. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Walther PPS. I still CCW mine almost daily. 7+1 seems paltry capacity these days but the PPS is a well built, very thin, extremely accurate, and robust pistol with an internal steel subframe. For me it is an excellent soft shooter even with HST 147 +P. Bottom picture compares thickness to my Glock 19. Target is typical range day with the PPS at 7 yards shooting at causual speed and not for maximum accuracy. Middle target dot shows what I can do with the PPS if I shoot slow for maximum accuracy where the middle cluster of 6 shots just above red center dot is seen.

The PPS is a soft shooter!!! I almost sprung for one that came with the 6,7,and 8 round mags with Magguts kits. It wouldn’t work for me deep concealed so I stuck with my 42. On the 365 now.

Sometimes I forget how much I love my Ruger LCR with 38 special. Normal carry is a 320 compact.

Besides a SIG-Sauer? Walther P5, P5C, PPS, PP Super, Hk P9S, Mauser HSc.

Another vote for the P32, or P3AT, or it’s Taurus clone, the TCP.
Easy to carry, and easy enough to dump mags into torsos at living room distances in SD. And being easy to carry is a huge factor, IMHO. None were over $175 when I bought them. Underrated.

The PF9. I think it may still be the thinnest 9 mm at .88”?
Not fun to shoot at the range, but a great carry option at the time. Not made anymore, nor are the three above, of course.

I have a CZ 75D compact. Such an excellent gun. It still gets into my pants, despite having a P365 sitting right next to it. It was so underrated, I got it at Cabelas for $350, with the OEM box, 2 mags and a Vedder holster. In that box was the receipt for the $675 PCR the old owner replaced it with.😅

Or….
Any of these…Makarov, or it’s 9x18 cousins. The CZ at the bottom is the best. 12+1, and the classic CZ “god this gun feels great” ergonomics. Clockwise from that, are a Bulgarian Mak, a Russian commercial IJ-70, an East German, 1961 dated, then the Romanian P64, then the Hungarian FEG PA63. Which actually isn’t a good carry gun after all, the aluminum alloy frame is lighter, but the edges are all hard corners.
