Have you shot the sig p938 at all?
Sorry, never shot a 1911 Style Micro 9. I have shot the P238 and the Mustang but those are both .380. I didn't think "Cocked & Locked" SA Style Pistols where being considered based on the list.
Current Carry Guns
M&P .40 M2.0 Compact 4"
Shield .45 (Soon to be replaced by P365)
Ruger LCP
I carry Flush Mags with Backup Extended Mags (1 for Compacf & 2 for Shield & LCP)
For me I find just a small increase in size offsets any extra recoil from caliber. I found the 9 mm Shield with extended mag to narrow, the .45 Shield with flush mag (2 less rounds) had a similar size but was slightly wider and I shot it more accurately with similar splits.
My point is not to try to talk you out of a 9 but point out that small differences in size and fit can make a very real difference in shooting.
Ive heard some complain the Sig 365 Grips are a little to aggressive. I personally would prefer a little more aggressive. I like the original Shield .45 texture. They softened it a bit on the M2.0.
PS My Mother really likes her SP101 and for me it has enough weight that 125 gr .357 becomes doable unlke a J-Frame.
I agree. It's surprising how much impact small differences can make. I've been considering switching to a .45 Shield myself, but I can't see selling my Shield 9 to do so.. . . .For me I find just a small increase in size offsets any extra recoil from caliber.

The more I read on the 45 shield, the more appealing it sounds. Folks who have them seem to really like them alot. Lots saying it's recoil is mild for the caliber and the guns size.
I've carried (in this order) A PPS M1, 1911, Kahr CM9, SIG P290RS, Shield 9MM and have now gone to the PPS M2. Reasons for the evolution were PPS M1 started having FTE problems after every 3000 or so rounds (shot the gun VERY WELL), 1911 got to be just to darn heavy, Kahr CM9 had the worst trigger in any gun and reminded me of the match guns we made out of cloths pins, SIG's trigger came in number two in the all time worst list, Shield was reliable, fed everything I gave but after two years and approximately 5K+ down the pipe it STILL didn't feel as good as the PPS......... so I bought a M2, put a thousand rounds through it to check it's reliability and I carry it or 44 Special revolver. At work it's a G20 with two reloads.
My Kahr has a loooong but VERY smoooooth trigger and you can stack it nicely.
The SR9c is the only one I've had from your list. Good gun, highly recommended. I handled a security 9, feels good, just seems a little chunky for what it is. The 365 I've heard equal amounts of praise and vitriol due to early production problems. Overall, the SR9c is fantastic for your application
I did start a thread asking about this versa, but comparing it to the sr9c ,it looks like it's a pretty dang compact package for a good price aswell.Highly recommend the SR9C, Very mild shooting, Extremely well made.You like high round count? This 23 oz sub compact comes with a standard 10 +1 mag for easy carry and easily converts to a full size gun with a 17 +1 round magazine. Break down a SR9C and compare to other guns. Solid, and lot of steel in the chassis. I just ordered more 17 round mags. Saw one the other day for only $299.00. That is a steal. One of the best buys out there.

My comment was meant as a positive, not a negative. It's a lot smoother than most S&W revolvers in DA mode.Think I will quote Hickcock45 on the CM9 "Great Trigger, Great Firearm". It seems many folks that like light striker fired trigger refer to DAO triggers in a negative way. Or say they are long. Yea, I guess compared to something like my LC9S which breaks so fast that the DAO is long.
Feel free to pull up his very positive video as well as many others. It is very rare to hear someone knock the Kahr trigger.
To each his own, if you like it cool, if you shoot that weapon well, outstanding. Disagreement is ok, I stand by my statement. The PPS trigger is not the "best" but in comparison to the Kahr it's light years ahead. There's a reason why EVERY federal officer I know personally doesn't like the Kahr. Stay safe.Kahr has the worst trigger? Lol, Hardly. It is a great DAO. If you do not shoot DAO is one thing, but to say the Kahr trigger is the worst out there is nonsense. A whole lot of people will disagree with you on that one.
And to compare the CM9 to a PPS M2 is not close to a apples to oranges. Not just one a light striker fired vs DAO, but the size. The PPM2 would be in the sub compact class. At least for myself.
