Had a situation this week, luckily did not need to draw, but sure was glad to have 17+1 ready to go..
I like the SR9c as well and don't think it gets the notice it should - mid- size, easy to control, great capacity, and maybe the best trigger on a polymer framed pistol. Reasonably priced, too.

Not bad if it's all you can carry, but try to carry as much gun as you can honestly. During that situation this week i mentioned, another guy that stopped and had his at the ready had a similar sized gun (as the 16+ capacity guns mentioned above) in an offbody style holster that looked like a binoculars harness. We were all dressed in business casual but armed and confident enough to intervene in the situation without yet knowing the full details of the situation (is it one teenager, or is it 4 adult males, etc).
I should clarify that one of the reasons not knowing the details matters, is normally we think of <7 yards for self defense. But in this case it was in defense of others and so suddenly running from 30 yds to 15 yds hands ready while assessing makes your accuracy with a light pistol very difficult. I never expected to be in this situation in a million years but it opened my eyes and was glad i was confident with what I had.
Care to expand on the situation?

There is a guy at church that swears by the reliability of Glocks. The funny part, and scary at the same time, is every time we go to the range he has more FTE and FTF than everybody else combined. But it is not due to a faulty Glock. It is due to his limp wrist method of holding the pistol which “feels comfortable” for him.
My point is as long as you take your firearm to the range on a regular basis then you will find out really fast if it is reliable or not. This is the big reason why I have put 800 rounds through my PF9. All of the major brands are reliable, after you break it in and find out what ammo it likes.
With all of that being said, I’ll make my decision after I go to Champions and fire several pistols back to back.

OP just go put your hands on a bunch and shoot as many as you can. It's kind of hard to go wrong these days. I've pretty much settled on a Glock 26 and 19 for carry. I've never had the attraction to smaller single stack pistols since the above mentioned are easy to conceal, have capacity and you still feel like you're holding a gun. Most of the time I find myself carrying the 26 OWB.
