Darryl - Thanks for the Glock suggestion - I don't have experience with them, but it sounds like a solid choice, and shootability is a big upside. I'll definitely give this one a try.

Groundhog - How is the R9 to shoot? It looks like I'd have trouble getting a 2-finger grip on it, and I'd ideally like to be able to put a couple boxes downrange without too much pain.

Spodwo - Have you by chance fired a P9 as well as the PM9? If so, how do they compare? If not, how is the PM9 on the hands? This is one of the smallest ones I've scoped out, so that's my big concern with it.

Gunluver - Hadn't considered a 1911, mainly because there are several reliable purpose-made carry guns to be had for much less cash. Any suggestions for a good 1911 that can compete on the cost front? If no, that's ok, they're already on my list for when I'm done with Med school and can afford such things. Several from Kahr are definitely on my shortlist.
