Looking into buying a 9mm and I have a couple questions.

Looking for something under $600 I’m contemplating between a smith and Wesson mp9 shield, Springfield, or Kimber micro 9mm. I’m leaning heavy to the smith and Wesson just from previous firing experiences but was curious on y’all’s thoughts.
Also I live in Kansas which is right to carry. I’m from Louisiana and go home a couple times a year. Do I still need to get a permit for when I travel home? This is a bit of a whole new world for me so i apologize for any dumb questions.

The Sig 365 is phenominal gun.
Its a personal thing though as I didnt care for the way the shield felt in my hand.

I like my S&W Shield 2.0.

I think so. LA honors KS CCP, but without one I don’t think you’d not be able to legally carry concealed while in LA.
Please someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Also, I carry a Shield. It’s a great shooter for me. But it is worthwhile that you go to a range that loans pistols and shoot a few to see what best suits you.

You can get a Canik for that price range too. Are you wanting to conceal or not? That would play into it too. The shield is larger than the micro 9 and the 365. I have not had an issue with any of those

Does anyone here have thoughts on the walther PDP? I’m seeing that for $600. 18+1 and seems to be a competitor with the G17. Only issue I see so far is mags are like $50 per.

Avoid the kimber.
It's best to get a permit so you are always covered with states that have reciprocity with your home state.

Of the pistols you mentioned, go with the Shield.

As far as your permit question. It's not a dumb one at all. If you are a Kansas resident (your driver's license is going to be a major determinant), you can't carry concealed in LA. w/o a permit. To carry concealed in LA you'll need a permit that was issued by a state with which LA has reciprocity.
If you're a resident of LA., you'll obviously be fine in KS if they don't even require permits.

I’m a fan of the Hellcat. It doesn’t get a lot of love here but it fits my hand perfectly and it’s 14 +1. Also pretty light for CC

Missouri is CC (Constitutional Carry) which is what KS has, and is not same as CCP (concealed carry permit). CC is only valid for the state you're registered in.
I'm in violation every time I visit my son once I cross State Line Rd since I've yet to get my CCP.

I bought an S&W S&W MP Shield 2.0 a little over a year ago and like it. I really wanted the Sig p365, but couldn't find one anywhere b/c of all the gun and ammo shortages about 1 - 1.5 years ago.

Look into the Glock G48. Don’t get much talk, but it’s pretty slick. Not as bulky as like a G17 and feels nice in your hands. Holds 10+1.

Best choice for a gun is what is most comfortable for you and what you shoot the best. I have had sig 365, Glock 43 and 43x and a Springfield hellcat. I prefer the hellcat simply I shoot it better than the others. Any of those guns will serve you well in a defensive encounter.
Louisiana and Kansa are reciprocity states so having a CCW in Kansas follows you to Louisiana as far as the CCW laws are concerned.
