If I was looking for a new gun for carry I’d look at the smallest XDM Springfield. I have a full size grip XDM 3.8 and love it. I can carry it just fine but, I normally wear t shirts and cargo shorts. The Hell Cats are small and seam to be all the rage. The Shield is a comfy carry and shoots nice mine is the older 9 shooter. The new Shield Plus gets a lot of Press and every gun mag has a article about them.
