Here's a search for micro's than can handle continuous +P ammo.

https://www.google.com/search?q=what+su ... s-wiz-serp

I wouldn't mind trying out the Shield Plus or the Hellcat although I once had a Springfield XDS and while it was very nice for carry (I could almost forget I was carrying it) I couldn't shoot it worth a darn.
I'll stick to my Beretta PX4 Compact, a little bigger and heavier but I'm a pretty good shot with it and I really prefer a DA/SA hammer fired pistol. Not many of those in a sub compact, Beretta has a PX4 SC but they haven't made any for many years and are difficult to find. Years ago I had a chance to buy one chambered in .40 S&W. It was used but in like new condition, really should have bought it.

Congratulations on the win.
I don't have much experience with the micro nines except the few I have observed being shot need a FIRM grip. Less than firm often resulted in malfunction.
I have a Ruger micro in .380 (9mm-short). There is a good amount of muzzle flip when fired, so I would expect more so with a 9mm micro.

I also have the .380 and it is not fun to fire just for fun. I carry it all the time and am proficient with it.

Mine is also my every day carry. I also have a Charters Arms revolver in 380. Specifically so I don't have to chase the brass.

I have a Charter Arms Undercover 38 Special. I'm not very accurate with it either. It must be small grips they both have. I'm a decent shot with both my Beretta's and my Browning .22.

I'm more of a Joe Pickett with a pistol.

I seem to do better, when I can grip more of a hand gun as well.

After reading this review, I may try living with a Stance. The article gave it an honorable mention: https://www.gun-tests.com/handguns/top- ... -for-2025/
