A SIg P365XL out in public for me or a Sig Ultra depending on how I'm dressed.
When I'm out in the the country or traveling to and from work, I carry a Sig M11A1 in a level 2 retention holder.

I have other options, but those are my "go to" pistols for carry.

When I lived in Nevada, my CC was a M&P Shield. It was easy to cover up the profile on it. It shoots remarkably good (after you use a Dremel to work out some of the burrs). The only thing I didn't like was the small capacity magazines. But conceal carry is a trade off.

M&P is my current CC.

I have one also, but would gladly trade it for a springfield hellcat. Mines a 40, but the 9 hellcat i picked up was the smoothest pistol i ever felt even moreso than glock

Back when Springfield Armory introduced the XD line, I test drove a friend's XD. Springfield Armory definitely nailed the ergonomics with that line.

Now, it did take me a minute to get used to the narrow grip safety and the blade safety in the trigger felt funky since I'm used to the wider grip safety from my 1911- style pistols. But again, I have to say they definitely nailed the ergonomics on their pistols and the Hellcat with the extended mag fits my hand pretty decently.

When I bought my 365XL, I was back and forth between the 365 and 365XL, but the XL just fit my hand so much better.

The Hellcat is nice. My only gripe with it is that I hate the politics of Springfield so I'd never buy one of their guns new. How do you like it as a .40?

You can’t hardly find a hellcat around where i live. Ive only actually held one but I didn’t get to fire it. Just the ergonomics of the weapon really fit my style. Im a die hard smith guy and they are getting better. The 2.0 is nice, but id still take the springfield hellcat.
The shield i have is ok but it could be better. 7 round mag thats way to stiff. I haven’t got my hands on a .40 hellcat yet

The 12 round P365XL mag springs are tight as well. Takes some getting used to. However, they function flawlessly so far. Think I have 8 or 10 of the 12 round mags and 3 or 4 of the 15 round mags and it takes some getting used to.

My P220 Carry is the same way, but it's manageable. The nice thing about the P220 is if you've depleted your ammo, you can beat someone to death with it. The damn thing just will not malfunction, but I have always loaded @ at least the minimum starting weight when loading. No use riding the fine line of a squib load.

My M11A1 mags aren't quite as tight and the Sig Ultra mags are more like my stainless Colt Officer's ACP and SA 1911 mags. In fact my Officers ACP and Ultra mags will interchange w/ no issues.

One thing Sig does do is design with a strong recoil spring. My P220 Carry and the M11A1 recoils springs are made of braided wire. Almost looks like a very tiny coiled up guy wire..

One thing I like to do to all my pistols is put on Hogue finger groove grips or in the case of the P365, a Hogue handall sleeve.

I don't like the politics of Alien holsters, but I will say my IWB holster for the P365XL is very comfortable.
