I’ve also looked at the compact 9MM but all are much heavier than an airweight/titanium J frame and thus difficult to pocket carry w/o a bulge or tell tale sag. For me the small, lightweight J frames are easier to conceal while offering adequate protection against most things a retiree might encounter. I’m not a cop anymore, and have slowed down considerably in my 7th decade.
