Default Ruger SR9 VS. Ruger LC9

Whats is your opinion on just these 2 guns as far as which one would be a better concealed carry. I am not interested in hearing about other brands and other calibers. I know whats out there and the their benefits. What do yall think? I am thinking SR9. Although the LC9 is an inch shorter and almost 10ozs lighter, SR9 has double the amount of round capacity. Its a tough one.

This is the one I plan on getting for this reason for concealed carry. This is for personal protection. Want it small and light.

LC9 conceals better, if you need ten more rounds to defend yourself you need to learn how to shoot! it also isn't that "fun" of a gun to shoot, stiff trigger, smaller, but its for a life or death situation, now if your looking for something bigger, good for all around shooting harder to conceal get the sr9. but Pocket concealed pistols are a lot more comfortable to have on you then a compact or full size pistol concealed inside the waist band. for example try driving or sitting at a table with the different holsters for concealed carry most are uncomfortable in a sitting position, when you realize how much comfort means to you when your carrying it will change your perspective on what you carry.

You are exactly right. When I started carrying I went to a pocket carry because of all the reasons you stated above. Now I have a couple that I enjoy shooting at the range and one that I carry that isn't much fun to shoot but will be in my pocket if I need it. The only gun that will protect you is the one that you will carry and if its too big you will end up leaving it in the console of your truck.

SR9 for shooting but it would be a little cumbersome to cary, IMO. I have two SR9's. Love them. Looked at the SR9C but didn't like the way that the short clip sat in my hand.

yeah, I never enjoyed shooting revolvers too much, but a .38 or .357 snubby is probably the most common ccw. because its smaller and has adequate amount of power.
