Of the ones you listed, the Glock 19.

Both my SR series pistols have been unreliable and were returned to Ruger. They didn't fix one, at least it was still finicky about ammo on return. I consider the design, especially the trigger assembly, to be fragile.

The other guns you list are bigger than the Glock. I trust you are aware that all of these are available in subcompact versions.
 
None of those listed. One I chose is a Star Model B in 9mm p. It is easy to conceil and it is all metal so recoil is nothing plus you do not ever worry about limp wristing.
 
From the choices offered, I would choose the glock 19, but all of those are larger than any of my preferred concealed carry guns.
 
Glock 19, of the choices non of which would be/are my choices. Many more available that are much easier, and comfortably carried concealed.
 
I choose the Glock 19.

You have a pretty interesting list of guns for carry. If you don't mind me asking, how did you arrive at those choices? There's nothing wrong with any of them, just interested in how you arrived at the list.
 
I own many of the guns in the poll. The new CCW choice is the Sig P320 Subcompact. Its a 13 round 9mm about the size and thickness of the G43 single stack. Stellar trigger and night sights right out of the box. Factor in the P320SC has that beautiful rounded trigger guard and every angle has been rounded and smoothed over like a bar of soap. There is no square edges on the the P320sc.

Its If you can find one get it. They are selling as fast as they hit the shelf.

Me and Limnophile are the smartest people here. The CZ Rami! Add it to your list. After a serious shootout shakedown, it has supplanted my PCR D as #1 carry for me. I can't believe I'm thinking about selling the PCR now, but the Mod 2 XD45 has been stellar so far. Seriously, if you have the 19 on the list, be advised that the PCR D (or P-01) is very comparable in size, slightly heavier, but generally MUCH more accurate and they give you second strike capability. Don't you just love it when we throw in other choices that weren't part of the poll? I've been thru 30+ handguns in 6 yrs looking for "it." Those two CZ's are "it" for me. YMMV.
 
As much as I hate to choose a Glock I would go with the Glock 19 out of that list. I prefer the M&P to Glocks, but I am not a fan of trying to conceal full size guns.

Want to sell me your pcr? :D
 
I voted for the M&P. If I'm going to carry a full size gun, I'll carry what I like.
BTW, I have 3 M&P's and seldom carry any of them.

If your willing to work at dressing to conceal a duty weapon, buy the one you like best.
