The SR9c is a fine choice IMO. I love mine; 100% reliable, good trigger, good accuracy. With the 10 rnd mag it is a nice compact pistol. With the 17 rnd and grip extension it feels much like a full size SR9. The LC9 is smaller than midsize, but if you can get past the loooonnng trigger pull, and are comfortable with the size, is a very good CCW. As you can see, I am a Ruger fan...
