So, you unloaded the M&P 40?
Most of my experience with subcompact 9s is with single stack guns. I've handled an SCCY. Wasn't terribly impressed. That said, I didn't shoot it, so I might think differently.
XD subcompact. I have it in .40, but the 9 is the same size. Reliable, easy to shoot, but may be heavier than you want for its size.

Put 10,000 rounds through a P11 and see whats left!
Kel Tec rates their guns to 6000 rounds. Anything past that is either gravy, or on borrowed time, depending on your perspective.
Nope, I still have the M&P .40. Would I sell it if someone gives me my asking price? Yes. But I'm not going to be overly quick to part with it. I can handle the recoil of .40 in that gun, and it's a very good fit for my hand. And when I draw, it seems to be right on target every time.
I want a double stack for greater ammo capacity. I figure if I'm going to go with a super small gun, it'd probably be in .380 for if I ever decide to carry wearing basketball shorts or something. Otherwise everyday I wear at least jeans with a belt and a t-shirt. Ample attire for concealing a double stack subcompact.
I've held SCCY's as well, haven't shot one either. I was also not impressed. That trigger is looong and heavy. For under $250 it's probably a pretty good deal though. I actually checked out an XD mod2 subcompact today and I liked it quite a bit, I just hate that grip safety.
I have very little experience with Kel-Tec as well. My friend let me check out his P3AT, but I didn't get to shoot it. Honestly it felt cheap, and not in the you're getting a good value for your money way. Whether it functions well or not is something I don't know, but feeling cheap in my opinion doesn't inspire confidence in a carry gun.
