I’m a fan of the Ruger LC 9. You wouldn’t thing a single stack vs a double stack 9mm mag design would make much of a difference but for me it does. I suppose I should look at a Glock 43.
I had a Taurus G2, no malfunctions over the short time I had it. IIRC I replaced the polymer guide rod/captive spring assembly with an aftermarket steel one.
The Sig P365 is da bomb, but again for me it’s a tad wide and hefty, especially the ambidextrous safety version.
I do like the takedown protocol on the Sig, one of the few designs where you don’t have to pull the trigger first. The Ruger LC9 actually has a little pin that comes out, little and easy to misplace or drop.
