I didnt like the LC9, did not like the long trigger pull, but I did like the LC9s, unfortunately plastic seems to be the way things are going these days expecially in pistols.
I carry an LCRX or the LC9S, and like I said, I pocket carry the LCR 22mag sometimes.
The LCP is also plastic, but it it small and concealable and with an after market hogue grip (specifically built for the LCP) it feels better in the hand and it allows my wife to handle the recoil of the small pistol.
The sp101 is a nice solid steel revolver, heavy, and absorbs recoil well, the only thing I did not like about mine was the trigger. If it had not been hammerless I may have kept it as it would then have the SA option. I may buy another someday with a longer barrel (I had the 1 7/8), or I may buy a blackhawk or GP100 but those are not pocket carry material.
I CCW everyday, and the LCRX or the LC9s work for me when I do. The small revolvers are pocketable, the micro .380s are lighter and flatter, and I dont like the NAA products, not that they are bad, they just dont fit my hand very well and I did not feel comfortable with the ergonomics and holding onto it while pulling the trigger.
I have Rugers (and recomend them) because for me they have worked and I have not had any issues with them, if I do, everything I have heard says Ruger CS is great. There are other similar revolvers from other US makers, some are cheaper, some not, that are just as good or possibly better, Rugers are just the ones I am familiar with because they are what I have.
Good luck in your search. if you local range has a rental program, I highly recommend shooting before you buy if you can.
