Alternative to LC9s

[spolct]

I have a grip sleeve for my LC9s and it makes a huge difference in shooting comfort. I rarely use it since I mainly pocket carry and it's not real suited to that particular application. I'd think about picking one up and see if she likes it - in a purse it may not make as big of a difference in the carrying part of the equation but may just solve the shooting discomfort part.

A big if but if she is always purse carrying how about a s&w 3913,3914, 908 or 1911 officer in 9mm. My wife loves our 908 and her 1911 in 9mm. Bigger and heavier? Yes but if she has one of those duffel bags, sorry i mean giant purses like my wife it shouldn't be a problem to carry.

While you're trying compact pistols out, give the Walther PPS in 9mm or .40 a try. It doesn't have the thumb safety, but does have the grip safety along with the trigger safety. It's comparable in size/weight to the LC9s. I carried a PPS in 9mm for a number of years before switching to the LC9s as my primary EDC, and am comfortable carrying either. The primary reason I'm carrying the LC9s more often is the Viridian R5 laser, which activates upon the gun leaving the holster and deactivates when being holstered (a magnet in the holster activates a magnetic switch in the laser).
