Be aware that shooting cheap 9mm in the LCR can result in a bullet jumping the crimp.The LCR has a great trigger and is available in 9mm. If weight isn't an issue for you it's hard to go wrong with the SP101. I also like S&W 642 in .38.
I would go with the LCR in 9mm for CC.

I found this out shooting blazer brass when a bullet fell out of the cylinder followed by a shower of gun powder
I have the 9mm LCR and found you have to be careful to use ammo that holds the bullet in the case. After four shots, the recoil jolts the bullet right out of the case and you end up with gunpowder sprinkling all over the place unless it's revolver friendly ammo.The LCR has a great trigger and is available in 9mm.

http://www.mtadamsfishgame.com/9mm-ammo-bullet-creep-in-snubnose-revolver/That's bad news about the 9mm problems. Maybe hit your ammo with a stronger taper crimp? Or go to a 115 gr bullet or lighter?
I wonder if you could use revolver bullets (with cannelures), since you don't have to worry about feeding. Maybe have to size 'em down though. Also, I recall reading somewhere about cannelure tools, to make one in a bullet that doesn't have one.
Of course this does not help with cheap manufactured 9mm ammo, which is one of the main reasons to buy a gun like that.
