Well I use a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2. It is an IWB holster and the best I have used. I tried a few before finally finding one I like.
Your LC9s should be ok if you are comfortable with it and can shoot it. Does it fit your hand ? Do you understand how the gun operates ? Does it feel 'safe' when you handle it? Do you like or dislike the double action ?
I def like the double action, but as I said it’s the only pistol I have ever fired in my life. Fits my hand perfect, I understand my weapon well, I can take it apart, clean it and put it back together with my eyes closed it’s my baby. But it’s my only pistol and when carrying OWB around my farm, several times I have noticed my safety in the fire position. I’m constantly in and out of truck 50x a day, somehow because of where the safety is it gets moved to the fire position. That worries me if I want to carry it IWB because of my build.

The gentleman at the gun shop also recommended the Kahr PM9 or the kimber micro9

I am a 1911 fan. So I go with either a sig p238, p938, or kimber ultra carry. I had a local guy use my pistols for the holster molds and carry them outside the waist high and tight. The ultra and the 238 are both small enough they practically conceal themselves. X2 on the Sig's if you are like every other red blooded American you will not own just one ,take your time and do your research and talk to a lot of people and don't be afraid to ask to shoot someone's gun .
Your money is not worth my sanity

As far as what weapon? Sounds like you've got a good relationship going with the one you have now. Keep using it and focus on your skills. Don't worry about the safety getting disengaged occasionally as your working and bumping around, that's gonna happen. As long as your holster prevents anything from reaching the trigger you'll be fine. Keep your booger hook off the trigger until it's time to get busy. If I were in your shoes I'd take the pistol you have and like and train and shoot the heck out of it and shoot everything you get a chance to. You'll figure out what you like. X2

The ultra and the 238 are both small enough they practically conceal themselves. This. I have a 238, and will be getting the 938 as soon as practical to purchase. The LCP, and the like, are just harsh weapons to fire. I'm not a glock fan at all, so that rules out another class for me. As for carry, I have an all leather IWB made by a local guy that works awesome.

One thing to remember is if you are holding a gun at a gun shop that is not the carry weight. After you put the rounds in it some are rather heavy. You guys that carry 10 mm or 40 I don't know how you can stand the weight ,but that is me. I agree. I prefer revolvers and my carry pistol is a S&W Airweight 38Spl. I have a Colt King Cobra 357 with a 5 inch barrel. I would much prefer to carry it. But, with a belt holster, it pulls my pants down. I don't understand how you guys that carry a 10m or a 45 ACP can do it?
