    Think I'll be sticking with the SR9c for quite a while. A little bigger and heavier then some others but not an issue for me. Got to shoot Mikes LC9 and didnt really like it. Hurt my hand shooting it almost as much as the LCP. One of the girls we were camping with tried it and she was done after 2 shots. Convinced her to try the SR9c and she loved it. The LCP and LC9 are good when used for their intended purpose, just not much fun to practice with. The long heavy trigger pull on them still bothers me too.

    Love the supertuck holster. After a while you get used to the weight of the gun and forget its even there. Even after a full day of sitting in the rodeo bouncing around on trails I had no issues with it.

    A "friend" just got a spingfield xdm .40 hasent shot it yet hope to this weekend
    Tried an XD before and just didnt feel right to me, like holding a brick. But at lest the grip angle was much better then on a Glock which also feels like holding a brick.

    A few weeks ago I got to try the LCP of a female friend. Hubby had bought it for her. Thing seriously kicked like a mule and hurt my hand, and she hates it too. It "looks" like it's a perfect CC...but it just doesn't have enough mass to tame that kick. I'll keep my Titanium Tomcat!

    Got to shoot the SR9c again, and still really like that. Might find one in my collection in the future.

    Here's a site that has some good comparison pics of the 3 we're talking about here....LCP, SR9c and LC9:

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    I can agree with all of the above. But I wanted the smallest 9mm possible--figured it was the best tradeoff between usable caliber and size. Ive seen small women carry bigger guns, i just dont get how. If I didn't think it a problem in being obvious, I would have a double stack 1911, the hand gun world doesn't get any better IMHO.

    These tiny 9mms may not be fun to shoot, but from what I figure, shooting a ccw in its intended purpose probably shouldn't be fun
