I've carried either an original Ruger LCP, or a S&W 642 for years. In the past year, I switched to this little 9mm and love it. It's a Diamondback DB9 Gen 4. I remember when DB9s first came out in like 2013 (?), they were plagued with problems, but mine (I have two of them) run great and fit in pocket holsters made for the Ruger LCP 2. They hold 6+1 of 9mm and are rated for +P.

Picture from internet. Not my gun.

I have two subs, a Springfield XD9, with 1 16 rd. magazine and 5 11 rd. mags.
And a Ruger SR9c with a 6rd and 1 7rd mag. I have an AlienGear holster for the Springfield, and a “ We The People” holster for the Ruger.
As far as weight goes, I like to wear suspenders when I’m carrying, no matter how small they are, fill them with lead and they are heavier.

Just me; I never could hit anything with one of those short little pistol. I like a little weight out front. I’m over 6 ft, weigh 190lbs, usually wear a loose guayabera when out, and comfortably conceal carry a 4” S&W Model-10 with a laser grip in an inside the pants holster. I have a stainless Model-65, but I prefer the less conspicuous blue.

A Ruger lcp 22lr is in my pocket all the time…I don’t feel underarmed…I like the Taurus GX4 as a subcompact 9mm…have owned most all of the common ones.

Guns are crazy expensive. I wanted to get the gun David Soul uses in Magnum Force (Colt Python) and I couldn’t find a used one for under $3,200!

Keltec P-11 is horrible to shoot but absolutely perfect for edc.

For $208 it's the most bang for the buck I saw out there. There's a YouTube of a guy stress testing one with 1000 rounds which is hilarious. By the end all 10 of his fingers are completely exhausted from the horrible trigger pull.

It's double action only which acts as the safety making it ready to go bang at all times.

Guns are crazy expensive.

Shop around, do your homework. There are many high quality pistols out there that are not Kimber priced.

At some point in looking at gun size / conceal-ability vs ammo quantity vs caliber, it might be feasible to carry a derringer or two in .44 or .45 caliber.

Did it ever accidentally hit a crew member?
