Not sure of the weight comparison and total length specs compared to your other choice but I have been extremely happy with my Ruger SR9c. You get 10 rounds of 9mm in it. I have used both Crossbreed Supertuck and Comp-tac M-tac style IWB holsters and they are both awesome holsters for daily carry, good concealment.
If you wanted to shoot my Ruger I could meet up at a club for you.
I agree..love my SR9C...currently carrying IWB with a cheap Elite (till i can get my Supertuck) and it carries well.
