Looking for a pocket 9mm for CC and the night stand. I'm looking to spend no more than 4 bills and have narrowed it down to these three:

 

Ruger LC9

SCCY CPX2

MP9 Shield

 

Thoughts on these or others I may be overlooking? Thanks in advance

As much as a S&W fanboy as I am....   and Shield being a nice piece .....  I would not call it a pocket gun..... 

 

I cant speak for the others on your list

LC9 Trigger is horrible

 

Shield is good

XDs is just as good

Out of those three, I've shot the shield and absolutely love it and would recommend it.

Definitely looking for something with a 3" barrel or so. Something in the size neighborhood of the shield

Beretta Nano

LC9 Trigger is horrible

 

Shield is good

XDs is just as good

Heard that from several ppl about the ruger. Long triggers on the sccy also, but fine once you get used to it

Beretta Nano

I've heard very little about these and don't know anyone who has one. But the nano has perked my curiosity.

XDS is nice too, pricey though

Shield is good.  Galloway Precision makes a replacement trigger for the LC9.  SCCY  so so.  Nano acquired liking.
 
Pocket carry and Subcompacts are two different categories.  You'll need to check carefully.  I would make sure you do touchy feeley with them before crossing any off the lists.  Each has a big list of pluses and minuses.

I have one.  Snagless design.  6+1 capacity or 8+1 with extended mags.  Striker fired.  It was what people want from Glock - a single stack 9mm.  The trigger pull is long but smooth.

EDIT: What Krdshrk said.

None are pocket guns. Get yourself a Diamondback DB9, a Kahr PM9, or a Rohrbaugh R9. Per the OP's budget, it will have to be the DB9.

Shield is a great gun, but definitely not pocket sized. I shot a lc9. Trigger was god awful. I bought a kahr cm9. Similar to pm9 without the bells and whistles. Look into it. Its an awesome gun.

Pocketgun? Go with the S&W Bodyguard .380

 

You also don't want a pocketgun as a nightstand gun. Get a full size or a compact if you must.

 

Pocket gun and nightstand gun are two entirely different roles and ideally you want different guns to fulfill those roles.

This might help size wise. http://www.seecamp.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1297471836/8#8

Not interested in a .380, looking for compact 9mm

Kahr is a 9mm, and can do +p. Although its not fun with them. I carry 147gr

I have the LC9 and although the trigger is a long pull, my is very smooth.

 

I do pocket carry it when wearing cargo shorts.

Love my nano, it's a great little gun.

What do they usually sell for? Prices are all over on gunbroker...

Having shot all of them the Shield is the way to go. The Ruger has a long pull. The SCCY is imho junk. Way to many malfunctions to trust a life on. The Shield is a good option minus the safety.

I paid 420 for mine from pk90 a few months before he moved. Have been seeing them on slickguns for a bit cheaper recently. Pm bluelinefish. He was trying to sell his a bit ago.
