Narrowing down CCW choices.

[Stormin54]

Looking for a new CCW, and 2 of my contenders are Sig P 238 and Springfield XD series. I like the XDs and theXDm.
Any opinions on these?

I also like Kimbers ultra carry II, but its out of my $700 cap.
Im not a glock fan, so there off the list.

I'm leaning toward a 40cal, but a 9mm is a possibility.

I go with a S&W M&P Shield 9mm. Nice feel, not too big, not too small.

I recently bought a Sig P238 to add to the collection. The choice was made after shooting a friends, I used to carry a Keltec 380 because of the conceal ability of it, but hated to shoot it. The SIG is REALLY nice to shoot. Sportsmans Warehouse had a Black Friday Special on them for $479 with a holster and night sights. You can't go wrong with any of the suggested ones, but keep in mind it's tought to carry all the time and the bigger/heavier the package the less likely you are to carry. I love carrying my Colt 1911 Defender, but rarely do to it's size.

Love this pistol and was looking that this one for the wife. Is it difficult to carry with it IWB?
