So I brought out the CW9 with the goal of IWB carry for me & the wife's warm weather walks as I sweat like crazy and don't want to ruin the slide or optic on my P365. Before going for a walk, I was wearing soft, baggy gym shorts around the house. Shorts that usually only a LCP would present no issues, such as pulling my shorts down...Before getting out of those shorts and into walk shorts, I tossed the CW into my front pocket of those gym shorts to go check the mail. Wow! I forgot just how light and unobtrusive the CW was! Other than when wearing "skinny jeans" or stretchy material shorts, I see no reason to have the lowly calibered/lower rounds LCP when I can just as comfortably wear the CW9!!! Falling in love with the CW all over again! Just ordered a Hogue beaver tail rubber grip and hope that my perspective only gets better with it.

Good post. I did carry my LCP when mowing the yard the other day but I too am finding I can pocket the CM9 about as easy to carry.

Ive also mostly moved to the G43x with a Shield arms 15 round mag for all IWB carry. Since I’ve put Ameriglo Night sights and a Ghost Edge connector and it carries 15 rounds it really sings to me (at least at this time anyway.)

That’s a nice amount of rounds to have available! I think the 43x is pretty close to the size of a CW9 too!

That’s about right. Here is a CT9 vs the G43x

When looking at it from a size vs. capacity...hands down the 43x!
