Similar to Ghost's comment....
Need to know brand and model of each.
Send me a PM.
BTW, sounds like he's not happy with the 9mm, so why is that?
However, there's no reason to limit yourself to one.
My common theme is that firearms are tools.
And, do not different tasks require different tools?
ECG and I both have small handhelds for concealed carry.
We both have medium sized handhelds for everyday out door carry on holsters. I also have a old 1911 45 that's almost a collectors item. Last, we have a couple others stashed in the house. The medium size and the spares are a mix of 45s, 38s and 9mm, all different. Only her concealed carry is newish and that's a light 9mm. My CC is a older 38. (Btw, no kids and there's a safe).
A key item to consider when buying smaller weapons is if it can actually handle a heavily loaded cartridge. Some cannot. Example is that target rounds usually have a light load of powder (why anyone would buy a target practice weapon is beyond me as you should practice with what you will actually use in the real world). Btw, I am aware of two different writeups where a 22 bullet from a handheld bounced off a naked human.
Last, my personal recommendation is based upon the size of the human and that persons training. Of course concealed carry tends to a smaller item.
