I’ve been carrying PDPs for the last 3 years, bouncing between the 4” Pro E, 4.6” Pro SD, 5.1” Pro SD, and the SF Match. I still plan on carrying them daily, but I’m considering adding something smaller for times when I’m not wearing a belt — mainly for the gym or late-night dog walks.

Right now I’m considering the 43X MOS, P365, Shield X, or even the outdated PPS M2. I’d like to keep the option of running an optic out of the box.

What would you guys suggest?

Picture for attention.

After suffering a few lower back injuries in 2022, I stopped training for about 4 years and ended up gaining 40 pounds, going from 175 to a peak of 215 in December 2024.
I’m now one month back into training, currently at 196 lbs and around 27% body fat. I’m using MacroFactor to track my calories and following Jeff Nippard’s Bodybuilding Transformation System.
My goal is to get down to 180–185 lbs without looking too flat.
