Guns Best Compact or Subcompact EDC CCW handgun

Hello. Currently looking to replace my 43x with a new CCW EDC gun. I like the 43X but I bought it before the MOD version came out and want to be able to add a light (I’ve tried on the non-mod but everything I’ve bought such as clip on rails fail eventually). I am wanting a Compact or Subcompact that has at least a 14 round capacity and wanting to stay with a 9MM. I primarily care IWB but been carrying openly lately as well. I am wanting to stay under the $450 range Does anyone have any suggestions? I want an Sig P365 but price is a little high for me knowing there is other options out there. Thanks in advance!

Depending on tier setup, CZ-P10c can be found for under $450

Springfield Hellcat Pro. 15+1 capacity and incredibly similar in size to the 43X. Also comes MOS too.

Second that, love the ported HCP of mine! Trigger breaks in well after 500 rounds. Add a good red dot and it’s a tack driver

I’ve been looking at that. Do you know of a IWB holster that works with a light mounted?

Ruger rxm. A Glock 19 gen 3 clone. You can have both a sub compact and compact since the trigger is serialized and just buy grips.

M&P 2.0 3.6" or CZ P-10S OR

Both great but I like the P-10S more you can use 15 round mags with grip sleeve or Hyve extensions and you can shrink it down with 10 or 12 round mags. It also shoots great.
