For holster use it is hard to beat a Glock 19. It is large enough to feel and handle like a "real" pistol, but small and well-shaped enough for easy concealability and comfort. It holds 16 rounds of 9mm and is a safe pistol to carry holstered if the loose nut holding the grips does his job correctly.
I've been carrying concealed since 1972 and have never found a better option for concealed holster carry than a Glock 19. I carry mine in a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster and don't even know the gun is there while going through my daily activities.
There are other similar sized guns and also larger caliber versions available, but today's 9mm SD ammo is excellent and 16 rounds in the gun is a nice number. Many armed professionals consider the Glock 19 to be the best Glock of all and the best 9mm for CCW.
