Trapper friends with CC permit, need some help choosing a CC pistol for myself. I do not have much experience with pistols, And I have only had my permit for a year. I only own one pistol and it’s the only one I have ever fired in my life. (LC9s)
After a near death experience I had before I decided to get my permit, I would like a pistol to suit me for an up close encounter, should the need ever arise. I’m a skinny redneck and don’t wear baggy clothing. Any recommendations? Do you like to carry inside waistband, pocket, exc...? I’m seeing a lot of different holsters for carrying concealed on the market but not sure which one would be best for me.
It would be nice to be able to try the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) gun before I dump hundreds of $, but all the gunshops around me don’t allow you to try the pistol before you purchase. I am signed up for one on one self defense training classes with a retired police officer next month, so I would like to start practicing and be acclimated with my weapon somewhat, before my training.
Looking for advice

The cloths you choose is as important or even more so than the holster you choose. Buy one size up in pants and shirts, winter time carry is easy with an inside pocket of your coat.

Find a shop that does let you try the merchandise. Until you handle one, feel it, the fit to your hand, the style of action etc, you should not be dwelling on the holster. Who cares how or where you carry it if it is not a tool you can naturally handle and use in a hurry.

The new LC9's with the new trigger are a nice shooting pistol.

If you have an LC9s now, is that not to your liking for CC ? Not really sure. Judge just granted me my concealed so I haven’t purchased any type of concealed holster for it yet.

Osky I found a place an hour and half drive away that let’s you test the gun, but they charge $75 cleaning fee.

I go between a glock 43 and a sig p938. Love them both. I’m not a huge guy eaither so I feel your pain about finding something that’s comfortable and doesn’t print. Whatever you do choose, make sure you’re extremely proficient in drawing and shooting it. If the time comes, you’ll only have a split second. Make sure you’re like a machine.

Oh so you are more in the market for a holster rather than a new gun. I understand now. Sorry if I confused. But yeah looking for recommendations for new gun, as well as what kind of concealed holster someone with CC experience would recommend for someone my build ( or lack of!)

I carry a shield 9 iwb or owb under belt in a CYA holster. Really like the CYA holster. They are made in the USA by Veterans.
