The sig 365 does look good, good idea, but a lot of guys are having issues with theirs. FTF, FTE. A lot of videos about it also. Glock 43 would be my choice, my not have everything you are looking for, but reliable, easy to conceal, comfortable to carry.

OP...check out the Sig P365.

I need to shoot it a lot more often, or start selling off all this .40 cal ammo or trading for 9mm.
... but then there are the .40 cal dies, the reloading brass, the projectiles, the powder....
Yeah, I keep talking myself out of it.
All the best,

I'll catch a lot ot hi's for this, but a good carry is the Ruger LC9s. Dependable and a reasonable price, Let's face it, any carry gun that is carried is going to get a lot of wear and tear. Why buy a $600 Sig when a $300 gun will do the same. This from a person that has and loves Colt 1911's and Glocks.

1. Age and wear/tear. I have carried my PF9 every day(literally) for the last 6 years and it shows. Factor in the range time and about 800 rounds put down the pipe and it is time for a replacement.
2. Accuracy. At less than 7 yards my PF9 is pretty accurate, but anything 10+ yards and it is VERY difficult to hit due to the long trigger pull(due to no safety) and a short barrel. With my wife’s Sig P238 (I make sure she always has a nice pistol) I can reliably hit at 10 yards due to a MUCH better trigger. My goal with a new pistol is to combine a better trigger with a longer barrel and reduced recoil to reliably hit at 25+ yards.
3. Round count. You have never, nor will you ever hear anyone who has had to use their firearm for defensive purposes say “I just had too many rounds.” Right now I always carry 2 extra magazines, plus one in the pistol and one round in the chamber for a total of 22 rounds. It sure would be nice to only carry 1 extra mag.
I think I’m gonna have to make a trip to College Station to visit Champion and test fire quit a few pistols. Y’all confirmed a couple of pistols I have been eyeing and gave some new ones to look into. Thanks.

Yeah lc9s are good, but honestly i just feel like they're too small of a gun ( for the reasons you've pointed out with the pf9). Not bad if it's all you can carry, but try to carry as much gun as you can honestly. During that situation this week i mentioned, another guy that stopped and had his at the ready had a similar sized gun (as the 16+ capacity guns mentioned above) in an offbody style holster that looked like a binoculars harness. We were all dressed in business casual but armed and confident enough to intervene in the situation without yet knowing the full details of the situation (is it one teenager, or is it 4 adult males, etc).
I should clarify that one of the reasons not knowing the details matters, is normally we think of <7 yards for self defense. But in this case it was in defense of others and so suddenly running from 30 yds to 15 yds hands ready while assessing makes your accuracy with a light pistol very difficult. I never expected to be in this situation in a million years but it opened my eyes and was glad i was confident with what I had.

I carry a Glock 43, with +2 mag extensions. I’m only 5’7”, carry it basically at my kidney. Mag extension not only gives extra rounds, but also a place for my pinky, which gives me a lot more comfortable grip, and control.
My Dad carries a Glock 19
My Brother carries a CZ75 Compact
All are really fantastic and reliable.
I’ve shot hundreds of rounds through each of them, and like them all. The 43 is relatively new to me, only put a few thousand rounds through it so far.
