I have been looking around casually for a while at the single stack 9's. Of the ones on the market right now the shield, xds, cm9, and the lc9s have drawn my attention. I'm actually leaning toward the ruger and that is suprising to me.
I initially was set on the xds until I started really looking at price. From what I see it is at least $100 more than anything on my list, and I just don't see $100 of addititional value but that's me. The cm9 has been taken off the list because of all the reports of terrible kahr cs. Finally the shield, and this is where things get confusing. My carry gun right now is primarily a m&p9c and I love it. I just want something a little thinner, so you would think the shield would be the obvious choice. I also know everyone raves about the shield. I don't know if it's just me wanting something different or what, but something is pushing me away from the shield. As far as the lc9 goes I have never tried the trigger on one so I'm not sure about it. I'm also not crazy about the mag disconnect. Any lc9s owners out there that can chime in?
