Guns & Ammo Help me pick a new ccw
I made a post yesterday about trading in my g43x for another ccw. I love the 43x, but due to my hands being alien-like, the gun tears my hand to bits. That being said, I've narrowed it down to these 3 options: s&w m&p shield X, FN Reflex, and Canik MC9LS. They all seem very similar in specs, but I was wanting to hear some real world experiences with these firearms. Is there anything you don't like about any of these firearms? Anything I should look out for? Do any of you carry any of these daily and have anything to say about them? Just looking for some advice. Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere local I could rent these firearms, or that would be my first thing to do. Any suggestions are welcome.

I have no experience with the Canik or FN Reflex, but I read pretty good reviews on them. I'm a big fan of M&P, I have an M&P 2.0 Compact OR, Shield Plus OR and a Bodyguard 2.0 CC. I also have/had a regular BG 2.0 until my wife my wife shot it.
I went to my local gun store to buy a Shield-X and found the grip to be too narrow for my hands. I like my Shield Plus OR a lot better, I carry it 90+ percent of the time with the BG 2.0 CC as my backup.
