Right now, if I wanted a "new" pocket rocket, I would probably get the Sig in single action or the shield in double action. It depends which you prefer. I have neither, but I have a PM9 in my pocket all of the time, I used to alternate between the PM9 and the XDS, and sometimes opt for the XDS, only because it's a 45. One less round, but again it's a 45. It recoils no more than my 9mm. I sometimes carry both, and always carry 2 spares for the PM9. I can't carry 2 for the XDS also, "it's just too much stuff, and too heavy.
I am looking at mid to larger frame guns again, the 3 that interest me are the P30 LEM light, in 9mm, with the 4.7 lb dbl action trigger it can be shot very fast. The CZ P01 Tactical, "similar to the P01, the slide is a bit hard to pullback on the cz's for my hands, if under pressure of a reload", And 2 or 3 different sigs, from the 229, MK 25 and m11-a1. There are a lot of sigs to look at, including the 1911, scorpions. But I think I am leaning towards the P30.But honestly a Glock 19 would also work, Just for the 14-17 rounds these guns provide without carrying 2 or more mags around for a smaller gun. If you can hide a shield, it's not that hard to hide a compact like the glock or p30, just no more pocket carry which stinks. I would have to choose what I was wearing more.
And have a real holster rather than a remora, for IWB again. I tried to get away from this, but we had 3 robberies in 1 day in my development, and one was a home invasion.
So for the way it looks like crime is going up, and the amount of perps are increasing, I may go with a gun that holds more rounds rather than 6 or 7. My old Glocks are just too big, it's a dilemma.
