if you are in the Austin area I would be happy to let you shoot mine
I can carry it with 6+1 and a flush mag or 7+1 with the extended mag
it is surprisingly accurate and easy to shoot, much more so than my jframe (which is mechanically very accurate of course)
The jframe has CT laser grips, the smallest ones, the 105
For pocket carry the Jframe is probably a little better in terms of ease of draw as the PM9 back of the slide tends to hang up on clothing
for IWB the PM9 with the 7rd mag flat disappears
I carry either of the above dependant upon situation, I do find that with a good holster and belt I can carry my 4.5" barreled Wilson Combat Spec Ops9 just as easy and comfortably.
The PM9 is nice because with just a clip on holster I can use it with shorts and no belt since it's so light
