As a general rule, the EDCs that new LTC holders should be using are different from what an "expert" can use. If I were advising a newer person on guns to check out for EDC, I would go with the following 4 and have them carry whichever one they like the best. As far as size goes, the biggest one that you can comfortably conceal and will actually carry.

1. Revolver
2. Glock
3. M&P
4. XDM

All four of these are very forgiving when the user has a less than perfect grip. The semi-autos are not completely immune from a stovepipe when the user limp wrists, but are much more forgiving than a typical 1911 or other steel gun with tight tolerances.

I have a Kimber that runs flawlessly for me. I would have no problem carrying it as an EDC. If I hand that gun off to a new shooter, they are lucky to get off three consecutive rounds without a stovepipe. If you limpwrist that thing, it's going to stovepipe, every time.
