If you don't have your heart set on a 9mm the ruger LCP in a 380 is a super nice carry for relatively cheap. I can't remember the vendor on here, but someone had them new for 275. If you are set on a 9mm or the CW are a lesser expansive version.

yeah Chevytatt, that is a good point, I saw that up in the classified, and it sure is tempting to have one of those as well for the ultra-ultra-ultra compact! I actually made a decision, finally at least for now... I picked up a Ruger SR9C used for a good deal, it fits me well and I got to take it out shooting at JCGC last night-- for the money, I'm really happy with it! When I got it, it was FIIIIIIILTHY, but I think that helped with the price and MAN I love cleaning guns.
I need to tweak the sights a bit (thanks Sandman1212!), but the trigger is-- for me-- better feeling than the CW9 I had. It isn't the single action/compact 1911 I'm still hoping for one day, but this'll serve me well til I can save up for that.

It ate everything I put through it, Rem UMC, S&B & American Eagle 115gr, Hornady Critical Defense 115gr, Win PDX 124gr, and Win Super X 147gr. Not a single hiccup or ftf/fte, no problems. Even with magazines loaded with random assortments of those cartridges.

Thanks for all the advice, everybody! And happy T-day to all y'all!

How about a double action 9mm the size of a .380? I've been carrying my Rohrbaugh in the same holster I use to carry my LCP in. It runs perfect so far and I have tried 5 types of 9mm ammo. Three of them hollow points.
At $1200 it's not for everyone. I know I would not have bought one in my 20's or 30's . It would have been just too expensive. Price aside it's been a great gun.

Is there a reason that the trigger type is so important in this case? A Rohrbaugh is going to be the ultimate 9mm cc pistol as far as size and carry ease.

If funds prohobit what you want, then wait longer. My pick would/will be an emp 9mm here sooner than later.

ah, well for me trigger feel is the thing I should've been stating. My 'young onset Parkinson's' makes for some peculiar hassles. I was so blown away by how fantastic a good 1911's trigger felt for my particular situation; and with my relative inexperience I was just assuming that a single action semi-auto would be somehow THE thing to get . I'm glad you're all so patient and forthcoming with advice and clarifying my misconceptions!

The Rohrbaugh looks like an incredible pistol to be sure, and the EMP is still a pistol that I hope to actually shoot (and if it feels like I hope, to purchase)asap... but in the interim while I save up, I still wanted to have a daily carry piece that was small & had a trigger feel that worked better for me than my CW9 did. And I got lucky with finding the used SR9C. Of course it isn't single action (like I thought I 'needed'), but the trigger feel, price, and cc-ability of it has worked out really well for me.

I sent in my application to JCGC last week, so I'm hoping they'll get back to me soooooooon... so if anybody happens to have a Rohrbaugh and/or EMP I might try out, dinner and ammo are on me
