I am very pleased with PF 9, I have shot several clips with cheap ammo with no hangups, easy to conceal and shoots way better then Taurus I had

If I may ask, what did each of you pay for your pf 9? Gauging interest in the pistol I'm looking into.

Friend carries a Kimber Ultra Carry in 45 cal. It is one of the nicest carry pistols I have seen. I would stick with a 45. Better stopping power and cheaper ammo.

I have an XD 45 with hundreds of rounds thru it with no issues, 13 round clip is nice, laser site is nice and the safety features are excellent, just have to shoot enough rounds to get used to it, a little big to cc, but is very comfortable with a quality shoulder holster, very safe and deadly firearm.

I'LL advise one thing and the rest is up to your pocket book.Don't never go to gunfight with gun that the first number of the caliber is at least a 4 or better.
