380 vs 9mm CCW Choice & Ammo?

[DMK]

As for the concealment issue, I'm medium build, on the shorter side, and live in a fairly temperate climate, so I'm looking for something that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I'm not opposed to most holstering arrangements, but think that a double stack 9mm, while providing capacity, might just be a wee bit big.

That's why my EDC is a single stack S&W Shield 9mm in an IWB holster.

I would prefer to have my double stack CZ PCR with me all the time, but the Shield is much easier to conceal, lighter weight and is still an effective combat handgun.

This may or may not be a concern, but .380 ammo is more expensive than 9mm ammo.

Glock 42 or 43.

I have a Kahr PM9.

It's the smallest 9mm I know of that can be pocket carried

If you are comfortable shooting 9mm, then buy a 9mm pistol. I would never personally carry anything smaller than 9mm. I carried a glock 19 for the better part of 3 years, until my girlfriend purchased a sigp238. I was amazed at its size and decided to try out a sigp938. the sig p938 is now my edc weapon of choice! 7+1, with extra mag and I believe im squared away just fine. Took some getting used to, its a bit snappy but I recommend the sigp938 as the best pocket pistol ive every had the opportunity to shoot.
