I am with Andrew17. I would be just fine with my Springfield XDM-9. Although it holds 19 in the magazine and one in the chamber, it's really light and easy to carry
EASY: Sig Sauer p229. I carry it every day. It's as reliable as anything. Very very accurate. Night sights, 15+1 and accessories are easy to find (grips, holsters, mods etc) the catch: they are a little pricey and are all metal (32oz)
I love mine!
Fmk 9c1 gen 2 . I have 1 shoots great 1500 rounds and no problems out of it takes down and cleans like glock but alot cheaper then a glock . I picked it up for 315.00 brand new . And cant forget its got the bill of rights ingraved in it for when the goverment trys to forget what our rights are
I chose the Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra carry. Its economical, accurate, fits nice and fun to shoot. 13+1 capacity. All metal for longevity and its reliable right out of the box..
As with any post that asks for choice of gun or ammo you are not going to get a consensus on any forum. As for me I would go with M&P 9c with combination of compact and full size mags.
