I'm interested in a 9mm or slightly smaller quality handgun that has a stock laser pointer. Comfortable carry and the laser are equally important.

What kind of ammo capacity are you wanting?
I ask because You can get a Ruger LCP .380 (6+1 capacity), or a S&W 642 .38 special (5 round capacity) stock with a laser.

Oops, I forgot that the LC9 has a laser option.

Is this your first pistol? If it is, learn how to shoot and practice w/o the laser.
Iron sights first then lasers.
My 2 cents...

Here's my recommendation:
Sig Sauer P938
Can't go wrong with a Sig

I'm interested in a 9mm or slightly smaller quality handgun that has a stock laser pointer. What are you comfortable shooting? Is the firearm for self defense? A 9mm or smaller isn't much good against large four-legged predators. Are your hands large, average or small?

Why the laser? You got catz you want to drive nutz?
You can't point and plug? Most confrontations occur within 3 meters in a home setting, and I can do that in the dark without my glasses. Anything longer distance, I'm going to want glasses, pants, and a rifle. And maybe shoes. I find visible light lasers to be a distraction.

The S&W .38 Airweight is nice, too...and you can add the laser grips if you really want them. My wife's instructor pointed out that you'll probably be shaking in a real incident which will make it harder to track down the dot, whereas you're better off if trained to line up the sights. I have no strong feelings either way.

Batteries fail, quality range time does not.

S&W Bodyguard 380 sounds like the gun you want. Its easy to conceal, has an integral laser, has a DAO trigger that isn’t going to get pulled by accident but is easy to keep on target. I’ve put about 300 rounds though mine (5 brands of a mix of JHP and FMJ) and have never had a misfeed or fail to fire.
I carried a j-frame for years, but this has replaced them as my everyday carry gun.

That should be engraved someplace.

At twelve feet you don’t need a laser.

Taurus model 85 liteweight is a good money saving option. Got the liteweight for my ol' lady, blue steel for baby sis.
If you're buying for personal defense and know (be honest) you're not going to get a lot of training and practice go with a wheel gun. Hard to clear a jam with some guy beating or stabbing you.

What would Dr. Evil say about iron sights first and lasers later?
