Anyone have any experience with any of these pistols?
The Dagger and MC9 look interesting.

For what they are probably Canik, but then PSAs look good, too.

Reasonable, not cheap, was my guide in replacing my P320C.  For me the FN609Midsize gave me the most gun still legal for IDPA Compact Carry division.  Though I kicking myself at FN magazine prices.

PSA and Canik are the two I'm looking at the hardest.

I'm mostly looking for something thinner than a the Glock 27 I've carried for 20+ years. Sciatic nerve and hip issues put me to carrying my Colt .38 snubbie in my front pocket for a while and I'd like to transition back to a semi-auto....just something thinner/lighter than the G27.
I have a neighbor down the road that just opened a shop and can get these a tickle cheaper than advertised so I might venture into the S&W Shield territory as well (Never owned a S&W). I know that'll be a little more money, but both my sons carry S&W 9mm as EDC and like them.

Juggling all the variables isn’t easy.  Size, durability, reliability, cost, and… and…

It’s no wonder we all end up at a different end.

Have you thought about a single stack like a Glock 43 or an offering by KelTec? My wife has a Glock 43, and I have a Keltec PT111. Both have served us well. The PT111 is the same size as the Glock 43. The only downside is the limited number of rounds they carry. Regardless of any other gun I might have on (usually a 1911) I always have that single-stack PT 111 in my pocket.

I subscribe to the "Sheriff Jim Wilson" school of thought: 99.9% of altercations involving CCW are settled with what's in the gun or less. The likelihood of being in a 'running firefight' are slim-to-none, so round count isn't as important as accuracy.

I've handled and checked out the G43 for my cousin and it's a consideration as well.
