I've been going back and forth between the TP9 Elite SC, the TP9SFx and the Elite Combat. I know the SFx is really more of a competition/range gun given the longer barrel and optics cut but I keep hearing people carry it appendix just fine. I'm 6'1" and about 195 lbs so printing isn't a huge concern. Mostly looking for something that's gonna give me confidence at 15 yards and be dead reliable and budget is around $550. I'll appreciate any input from guys who've actually carried these daily.
 
Elite SC makes the most sense since it is built for concealment and easier to live with daily. Elite Combat shoots nicer but that extra size adds up fast on a long day.
 
Elite SC makes carrying easy, the others are great shooters but you’ll feel their size every single day

To add..SFx is not realistically an everyday carry piece.
 
Personally, Loud Tomm, as tall as you are and under 200lbs, imprinting should not be a problem. I am not enthusiastic about tiny pistols, and of my 23 handguns I only have two, one being an S&W Airweight .39SP+P revolver my "pocket gun", and a G26. I would recommend the CANIK METE Sfx for you. With a 4.47" barrel it's only about .75" longer than the Elites, and mine easily hits the target at 25yds. Additional concealment is capable with an IWB "Sticky Holster", and or a t-shirt one size larger than your normal size for Spring/Summer/early Fall CCW.

 
I carried concealed the Combat Elite for years without any problems. It has a great trigger and very accurate (with the right ammo). I relaced (still have the gun) my CCW now with the MC9 Prime and alternate it with the Walter PDP "F" PRO.
