If you're wedded to the 9mm round, as opposed to say a .38 Spl or .357 revolver, then I'd suggest a Sig P290. I've had mine a little under a yr now and it's been 100% reliable with factory rounds. Comes with a six and an 8 round magazine and with or without Sig's proprietary laser. I think it has Sig's tritium night sight as standard on all model. My usual carry piece is a S&W M36 in .38 Spl, but I do carry the Sig when a thinner profile is called for. It's an accurate gun, and will hold 1-1/2" gps at ten yards if I do my part. (Even with that short six round magazine in place.) Rod
