    What Would You Get

    Any suggestions on what would be a good EDC 9mm. No more for 6 big ones or under ? Thanks

    Have you shot before? Have you shot pistols before ?

    Are you in a Mag capacity limited state ? (i.e. limited to 10 or 15 round magazines.)

    Do you want a DA/SA pistol or a striker fired pistol ?

    What size gun can you actually carry and how do you plan to carry it ?

    Can you dress like a hobo or do you need to wear a tucked in polo or dress shirt for work?

    A few things I can tell you without more info:

    The classic answer is if you don't know what you want get a Glock 19.

    You can expand that to some other G19 sized guns in your price range:

    G19
    S&W M&P 2.0 compact
    SIG P320 Compact
    CZ P10 Compact
    FN 509 Compact
    SIG SP 2022
    CZ P07
    Beretta PX4 Compact
    Beretta APX Compact.

    Variants of the above guns such as the Glock 26 and P320 X-Compact are also viable.

    If concealment is a bigger concern, the "slim line guns" from SIG (P365/365X/365XL) and Glock (G43/43X/48) are options but be aware the price for the reduced size is they are harder to shoot effectively and can be less reliable than their full size counterparts.

    Then shoot the guns and get some professional training. Be very cautious about aftermarket parts / modifications including magazines. The "fix" for many modified guns is to restore them to stock condition or return to using factory magazines.

    Save money for a good belt and holster from one of the sponsors here on PF - $150 or so depending on choices. If this will truly be a body carried edc.

    When is a Glock 19 not the answer?

    In a mag ban / 10 round state as the Glock 17/19 10 round mags are not up to Glock’s normal levels of reliability. Every else I listed has reliable 10 round mags.

    Or if one wanted a manual safety. Or a DA/SA.

    In those cases a G19 size gun like an M&P compact or CZ P07 is still the answer.

    The HK USP Compact /P2000 is a good option too but a little outside the OP’s price range.

    This is like asking what car would you recommend under $30k? The blue one!

    @HCM pretty much nailed the whole thing, but if you’re willing to tell us more about what you want to do with it, what your expectations are, etc. then the group here can probably tell you a lot more.
