re: What's a good pistol to conceal carry?

I think a lot depends on 1) personal wants 2) location and 3) holster.
Personal wants:
Capacity
Size (Barrel and grip length)
Revolved vs semi-auto
Single vs double stack (goes w/ capacity)
Comfort
Location:
Hot climate?
Holster:
IWB vs OWB?
A good IWB holster can make carrying something like a glock 19 or XD9 service pistol manageable.
You have to weigh all of these things.
For me, I like to have capacity and I like to use the pistol I shoot with the most. So, I carry my SA XD9 4" service model. I have an Old Faithful IWB holster. I live in Texas as well.
It's probably not the most ideal thing in the world, but its my baby and I have 16 rounds ready to go. It makes me feel better than having a 5 shot snubbie, or some 380 auto pocket pistol which are much more comfortable.
With that said, I wouldn't mind trying out an XDs.

My concealed carry depends on what I am wearing.
Most of the time I carry a Glock 27 IWB. If I am wearing a suit or have to have my shirt tucked in, I go with a S&W titanium airweight .38+P.
I used to carry my 4" Kimber 1911 IWB but the Glock is much more managable.
