CA Concealed Carry Guns

cost me just about $350 for a 2 year permit in Imperial County
 
I'm in Ventura County but I was more interested in the actual guns you guys use on your permit. According to the Officer in charge of the concealed carry department I can only add "on roster" guns to my permit. I do not think he is correct and this would exclude all three pistols I currently own. So I need input on a "on Roster" guns.

I was looking at the Sig P238 but i'm not convinced it is enough firepower (380 ACP). I really want the P938 (9mm) but its not on roster
The M&P SHield 9mm is another option.
Springfield XD but its bulky.
 
I have a G20 and I have some experience with a G34 but I do not have any experience with anything smaller. Do you find it is hard hold? Are you able to get 4 fingers on the gun? I have average size hands and find the G20 to be quite large.
 
I run a Smith&Wesson M&P Shield in 40S&W, I dont conceal carry but if I get a permit it would be my cary gun for sure! Its light and has a small six round mag, I have smaller hands so this frame fits me very well where I don't fit a glock. The grip size is why I chose the M&P Shield.
 
I am currently 16 weeks waiting since my interview with the OCSD. I put a glock 19 on my app along with a shield 9mm I purchased last week. The shield is great, super slim and concealabe and was pretty dang accurate. I just put some talon grips on which made a big difference. Trigger is a little sloppy but heard it gets better the more you shoot it.

What have you guys heard about concealed carry guns? Opinions? Rumors?

I am from Riverside county, recent completion time took 6 mo to complete the Ccw process. Because of the San Bern county Inland Regional building mass shootings, the most recent appoints to get to just the interview was a full year. So to complete the process I am guessing it would take 15-18 mo in Riverside county. If you apply at RPD they will not grant a Ccw. The San Bern county deputy's were telling me the application influx has brought the San Bern county completion process to a year. It could be even more now. County Sheriffs in both counties is where you want to put your application in or you may waste a full year at PD.
 
I really want to conceal carry my A.R. 15 where do I get the necessary paperwork to do so
 
Sdbirds your felony trafficking conviction in 2006 excludes you bro, sorry ;)
