A G26 with an optic and +2 mags would be a viable contender as well.
While it retains the thickness, the abbreviated “hump” makes it slight easier to conceal than a G19.
P08 would be the one single 9mm gun for me.

What do you have now in 9?
Can you only afford one gun?
What is more important home defense or CCW?
You said one gun so what is your budget?
Why can you only have/afford one gun? Is it a law in your area?
If this is a hypothetical? Have you spent any time researching or renting or borrowing guns to see what works for you?
What if it goes back for service or repairs for 3-5 weeks what will you do if you can only have one?
What type of action do you prefer?
What works for one may not work for another
How much time and money do you have to buy and carry and buy support gear and move on do you have?
Thanks for your response it will help the good people here give you some direction.
I'll give you guys a bit more info...
I currently own 4 pistols and really want to whittle that down to no more than 2. If I can get it down to 1, that'd be ideal, but I can see owning 2. I really don't want to own more than 2 pistols every again. lol. It isn't a money thing, I'm a minimalist and don't like having lots of things.
I have tried to conceal a G19 but feel its too much gun and pretty uncomfortable. I'm about 5'10", 170lbs, 32" waist. I live in a state with a 10 round capacity, so don't need a pistol that holds any more.
The 4 pistols I currently own are:
1. Sig P365 with manual safety. It is optics ready, but I don't run an optic on this pistol. I like how it carries and I can shoot it pretty well (to my surprise).
2. Springfield Hellcat Pro OSP. I love...LOVE... the way this pistol looks and feels...BUT...and this is a big BUT...I hate the way it shoots. It is so snappy. I just don't understand why I perceive the recoil impulse as even worse than my sig p365 (not xl). It is the only pistol that makes me flinch like crazy.
3. Glock 19 Gen 5 with Holosun EPS. Soft shooting, and with the red dot it feels like cheating. BUT it is too bulky for me carry to carry daily. I live in a warm state and ofter wear fitted/light clothing.
4. CZ P01. Love the way it looks and shoot, but I would never consider carrying it. Too heavy and big for me. Fun to shoot though.
Ranking how these pistols shoot for me (from best to worst): G19/P01 (tie), P365, Hellcat Pro
I've owned the CZ P01 and the G19 the longest, and recently acquired the P365 and Hellcat Pro. I have shot the Hellcat pro only twice (~250 rounds) and it would easily be my favorite gun of all time if it wasn't so dang snappy. I love the form factor, ergos, grip texture, esthetics, and size...everything but the recoil impulse. I haven't had a problem with flinching since I was a new shooter, it is crazy how much I flinch when shooting the HC Pro. If I could have confidence that I'd be able to shoot the Hellcat as well as my G19 one day, or even the P365, I'd easily pick it.
I'm totally open to your suggestions and appreciate the feedback, please keep it coming. I can also see owning 2 pistols, 1 for range/HD, and the other for carry--maybe this would be a better way to go? I'm considering trying the 43x since it is similar to the HC Pro...

NOT the YouTuber by the same name.
Selling all but the G19 and using the money for a 43X or 48 and dot plus holster and ammo would give you the capability you want from only two weapons.
As pointed out above, things can and will break if you are shooting the gun. Reducing the number of guns to less than 2 would be unwise for that reason. Many would consider 4 guns to be relatively minimalist.
It looks like you are well set now with 2 good concealed carry guns and 2 good home defense/fun guns. Since you seem to like the P365 better then the Hellcat, perhaps buying another P365 and selling the Hellcat would simplify support gear and increase redundant capability.
