That may have been true in the time of the Walther PPK/s and the ilk. Once we got the G43, LC9, Shield and XDS, that all went away. I carried a J every day for years. I went over to the 43 a few years ago and haven't looked back.


Even before that. IME, it went away a couple decades earlier when the Kahr came on the scene.
Yeah, Kahr was the first but they didn't have the production capacity to make the switch to 9mm widespread. Keltec was earlier too, but they had their problems.
