[QUOTE="ExSniper, post: 1688114, member: 1387"] Hiding a gun is not that difficult with the right belt/holster/clothing combo so that should not be the first consideration. There is nothing wrong with a 9mm, so if that is where you want to start I would suggest you get the biggest, longest sight radius pistol that fits your hand. The XDm, M&P, or Glock (Gen 4) would be leading candidates as they have interchangeable backstraps and can be adjusted to fit even very small hands. As a new handgun shooter, I also suggest you get some professional training. Learning the fundamentals of handgun shooting is not difficult, mastering them takes a lot of time and practice. Trying to become a proficient handgunner without these basics will seriously hamper your learning curve. Short sight radius, crummy sights, tiny grips, ultra lightweight, and excessive recoil for the power generated make the smaller "pocket" guns difficult to shoot and a very poor choice for beginners.
