I prefer the Ruger LC9s for pocket carry. It rides nice in small isw holster also. It is dependable with decent accuracy. It is very easy to work the safety while still in pocket holster. I am comfortable carry with safety one and slide it off if concerned about possible uncomfortable situation. My trigger finger has had enough practice after shooting one box. Recoil is not bad but it does take a toll on my trigger finger.
I started with a Karr all steel 9mm. Probably the most accurate of the small pistols but did not feelgood in my hand.
The RABI in 9 was a real shooter but mine was before they put a decocker in the little pistol. I was never comfortable lowering a SMALL exposed hammer with the trigger pulled. They have improved that pistol now.
