I'm not looking at guns the same size but with more weight - I'm looking at medium frames instead of compact frames, with a steel frame. More weight + bigger frame = probably better.
That Aegis will be a good choice, as would the Springfield EMP. But hold on to your hat. Dan Wesson is coming out with 9MM bobed grip 1911 next year. II believe it is officer's size which is perfect for cc.
Sorry, more things to complicate the decision .
Did you try Bullet Trap in Plano? They have a lot rental guns also. And good prices on new ones. And don't require memberships.

I went ahead and called Kel-Tec and they are shipping me a new metal magazine release free of charge.
