Ruger LC9s ... just a nice little gun, conceals nice, shoots nice

. Use a Tagua IWB holster because with jeans, it's usually in my right front pocket & I like that clip. If I was to go OWB, I'd just open carry, #shrug. I'm not real comfortable with IWB on my actual waist though, it just digs.

I second that. I carry one all the time. I used to have the LC9 but that trigger was horrid. The LC9s striker fired trigger is amazing for a gun of that size and price range. I really dont know why anyone would carry anything else. I carry IWB kind of between my hip and my junk.
If I were ever to open carry i would probably go with a 1911. I dont open carry though, I just dont like the idea for me personally. I would rather have the element of surprise. Also a real liberal court could use the fact that you open carry to make a case that you were looking for trouble. Its wrong and unconstitutional yes, but I am not taking any chances.

Yeah, open carry is good in theory, I suppose, but it causes problems by me, at times ... mostly because law enforcement doesn't really know the laws concerning it & try to enforce their own perceived standard and/or proponents of it flaunt their right to open carry and make everyone nervous.

I'm with you, if I would open carry it would be something big,

You may have answered my question dude.

Do you know anything about the S&W M&P 9 shield?

You may want to look at one of the smaller CZ's. My wife has a P-01. Reliable (MRBF 2,100+), 14+1, all metal yet light.
