For a small 9 mm pistol for summer carry in a outside belt holster or pocket holster (I have both), I think this is the best choice. I've spent (wasted?) money on a lot of small 9 mm pistols that just don't measure up to the CC9. SIG Sauer P938, P365, Springfield Hellcat, Ruger LCRx (still have), to name some. I am as happy as a pig in mud with the CC9 for warm weather and my H&K 45 Compact for the cooler weather. The CC9 fits into my hand comfortly (much better than the SIG P938, which had saftey issues on both of mine), it's as accurate as any small 9 mm that I've shot (P938 was accurate also). At my age (85+), I have cut back on the number of firearms I own, but my H&K's are keepers.
