I tried the CW40 and found it too snappy in recoil for my taste. I think for this task, 9mm will be the ticket.
Good choice. I picked up a barely used one on the forum not too long ago that my brother has now. $340 for the gun and everything that came with it new, a very nice holster (new runs $100), an extra mag, and 100 rounds of ammo. If you look around you can find some good deals.

Re: Looking for South Texas CCW Advice

Redhat wrote:Hi all,
I have finally scheduled my CCW class and would like some advice on a good CCW handgun for the South Texas climate where cover garments most of the year will be pull-over shirts.

I currently have a Glock 19 but after testing several holsters, I don't think it's going to meet my needs so I have been looking at a few compact or sub-compact 9mm handguns. My criteria are:

1. Full grip, no short grips I can't get my pinky finger on.
2. Reliable
3. No DA/SA trigger
4. Decent sights / accuracy
5. Weight is not an issue
6. No revolvers
7. Not interested in baby Glocks

So far I have fired the SIG P938, Kahr CM9 and CW40. I would like the S&W M&P9c but I don't think it will be thin enough so I am leaning toward the Kahr CW9. I plan to carry IWB.

Does the handgun exist that can meet my likes?

Thanks for any help.
My wife has experience with the CW40 and my brother carries a CW9. Either would meet your needs.
