A man needs plenty of handguns. For what you said, I wouldn't get a Sub-compact ( Keltec, LC9, XDs). A mid size will be MUCH easier to shoot and hold more ammo. My first place to look would be the XDm 3.8, M&P Compact, or the G19( the G19 is 9mm and the other two are available in 9). Regardless of what you pick, I'd start with the 9 due to ammo price and low recoil. All 3 are solid, proven guns that will go bang every time you pull the trigger. Go hold them and shoot them if possible. I'd wager there is an Aldeer member that is close enough you can shoot each of these or rent from a local range. Also, watch the classifieds here on Aldeer. You can get some great deals on some firearms.

Glock 23 if you want a 40 S&W. Glock 19 if you want a 9mm. You could go with a Glock 29 if you want more horsepower!

I like the way a smith and wesson m&p feels. That's what i carry in my vehicle. For concealed carry I like my sig p938 9mm. The drawback is its a low capacity auto. 7rnds. Its real hard to beat a glock for reliability and finish. They resist corrosion very well and arent as expensive as some handguns.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

S&w shield is very concealable and fits my larger paws pretty good. I'll second that. My hands are about as big as they come, but its still the most comfortable of the sub compacts IMO, and i get to keep my 40. It's as small as i would go in an auto, but its the most comfortable IWB carry piece I've had. I used to carry a Jframe 99% of the time, but the shield has replaced it for all but pocket carry. It's what I had the other night when I thought I was going to have to use it, and I'm comfortable with that. One other plus with the Shield ( As well as all the M&P line) is that the slide is stainless under that black finish. I CC mine IWB all day while mowing and weed eating, etc. I sweat like a horse, but zero corrosion. The longer i have this gun, the more I'm impressed with it.
