Agreed. The 43x, which is what my wife has might be better b/c of grip length, depending on your needs. I have a 43 and use an extended mag for grip purposes.
Both of these options are very solid, can't go wrong. If a thumb safety is important to you (I like them on CCs, especially for an inexperienced person), that further limits your options.
I carry a G43 in an Mission First IWB holster. I'm a big guy and it is very comfortable for me. I sometimes forget I have it on. I went with the 43 over X because the grip is shorter and doesn't poke out at all. It's invisible in shorts and a t-shirt.
If you going with a conceal Glock. 43 is small and only offers a single stack. 43x is only slightly better,
Go with sig 365, Springfield hellcat, or a shield plus. All have decent small size and better mag capacity. On the extended mag of the hellcat you can get 15 in a very small gun.

I would lean towards the Sig P365x also. Somehow if defies physics and puts a double stack 9mm in an inch wide frame. I have a Walther PPS m2 that I have used for years and that i decided on for IWB CCW because of the narrow frame. However, I would shoot some guns first to see which feels better to you and yours. I also had to go to a red dot sight because I don't have time to put on readers to see my sights.
Holster wise for my IWB I bought a fairly inexpensive Kydex holster with a metal clip formed for my PPS. But again try some. I have a buddy who is a cop and he carries off duty with one of those soft IWB holsters like Urban Carry G3

I carried a J-Frame revolver on my ankle for a little while. I don’t care for it as a primary carry method. It’s not comfortable and it leaves your pistol in about the most inconvenient place possible if you are fighting for your life. I greatly prefer a small pistol in a pocket holster or an IWB holster at the 5 o’clock position. I’ve got a Glock 43 and a Sig P365X. I’ve been through about every possible concealed carry pistol you can imagine. None of them are perfect, but the P365 and Hellcat seem to have the fewest compromises.
Usually people who are undecided
About pronouns, are also anti gun. I’m glad we are crossing the aisle with this issue.

I carry, when I carry, a pre UAW strike Colt Cobra or a Ruger LC9. Those two also reside in my nightstand while I keep a Bulgarian Makarov in my couch cushions, where I usually sit. I also keep a pre UAW strike Colt Detective Special in the kitchen. Just in case I pull my dinner out of the fridge and it isn't completely dead.
Springfield Hellcat and North American Arms .22 magnum pocket revolver. If I need more than that, I am out gunned anyway.
The best gun is going to be the biggest gun you can or will comfortably carry and that's going to vary from season to season and outfit to outfit. My carry guns range from a North American 22 micro revolver to a 1911 45acp. More often than not, I'll either have the NA 22, a Kahr CW 380, or a SIG 938. Since I've retired I've sworn off pants that require a belt so a big gun pulls my britches down.
No, if I lived in Prichard I would not leave the house without at least a tommy gun.
I live in Jackson and I carry everyday & everywhere. If I am wearing a suit or sport coat/jacket I carry Glock G19 Gen 3 IWB. If I am not wearing a coat, etc.,I carry M&P Shield + in my pocket. When I exercise/walk I utilize a belly holster which is very comfortable and it is able to carry either the Glock or the M&P
Only one gun? That does not compute. I forget how many I have. It's somewhere between 30 and 35.
Not reading all of this so my apologies if I repeat somebody. I'm trying to decide between the Sig P365XL and the Springfield Hellcat Pro. As fas as holsters go, I am going to try We the People holsters. Just bought their belt. Hasn't come in yet, but I have high hopes.
The Hellcat Pro comes with a 15 round flush-fit mag. I need to go to a shop to see how concealable it is.
I would second the Ruger 380. I carry one in my back pocket. Get the fancy defense rounds and keep a larger weapon in your vehicle. Opt for the extended magazine
I bought my wife a Springfield Hellcat 9mm for Christmas 2 years ago. She loves it. I’ve shot it a few times. Fun gun.
