The best out there now is the Glock 43. The Ruger LC9S Pro, is also a good one. Slightly more compact, but not as good a shooter as the Glock. Clearly Glock has better aftermarket support, which should tilt you that way.

I have a Kahr P9, and it was the very first of this type on the market ... very innovative in its time, but at this time the cutting edge belongs to Glock on this type.

I don't have an S&W Shield, but it's a good one too, I understand.


I own all three. The Shield and the Ruger are better shooters than the Glock 43.

I REALLY like how the Shield shoots. I shoot it about as well as I shoot my G19, which is a LOT better than I shoot my G43.

The Ruger has the best trigger. I have the PRO version without a safety.

YMMV
