Advice on first handgun / CCW

Like title mentions I truly enjoyed the feel of the PDP F series but worried that like so many handguns it’s a 9mm. Wondering if either…

A) I live with the fact it fits/feels so naturally in hand and pay the inflated 9mm prices

Or

B) there’s something out there similar feeling to the PDP F series that gets me out of 9mm but still can be hard for EDC / CCW

Thanks!
