Which Compact/Sub-Compact 9?

G26, I didn't plan it that way. I bought a used one because everyone praised them so much so I thought I would play with one and it kind of took over as my main gun.

+1 on the Glock26. It fits just right in a pocket holster in my liberty bib overalls. Also like my Keltec PF9 in my pocket holster also.

Thanks for all the responses, your opinions much appreciated. I'm in no hurry and look forward to checking out the XDsc, Sig, and others mentioned.

Personally just never liked the feel of a Glock, thick, bulky and none of them fit my hand very well... although I'm sure I'd get used to one if I bought it.

Pick up a G26 if you haven't they seem to fit everyone's hand better than the larger size glock's, I used to not like glock's... then I bought one and put about 5k rounds through it without cleaning it (just to see if the rumors were true), and they are.....glock's rock

I carry a Berreta PX4 in a Crossbreed Super Tuck. Hardly know it's there. I like the manual safety for piece of mind and 17+1 gives you plenty of fire power.

Noticed for 5 bucks at the indoor range I can rent a Glock 26, guess I'll cave to pressure from the Glock fans :sheepaid: and give one a try next visit.

You will soon give in to the dark side.

I'm going to go with the XDsc....I love it .....it beats all>>just kidding actually it's the only one of those I own and have shot so naturally it's SA for me.....

I own two Springfield XDs in 9mm, the Service model and the Sub-compact. Both have been trouble free and the Service model is very accurate.

I've owned one Glock in 9mm, can't remember the model #, but I was just not accurate with it.

Have you seen the Taurus Slim 740? Its a 40sw instead of the 709 9mm..

Trigger on them is really nice..

Glock 26 and Glock 19

if I had a compact M&P 9mm that one...then a XD

26 is my choice although the xd would be ok too. Other choice and my EDC is the Glock 36. 45acp's don't shrink.

Hickok45 has some excellent videos on the glock and the sr9c on youtube. He speaks very highly of the glock 26 and sr9c. XD is very nice as well. Shoot all if you can, but at least handle all. I have a glock 26, but do not carry it. Will pick up a sr9c when I can. Best of luck on your quest.

Thanks, I've been researching and have narrowed it down to:
Ruger SR9c
SW M&Pc
Shot a Glock 26- nice but it didn't really win me over, look forward to seeing the Gen 4 though.

Although a couple are above my price range still want to at least look at and get my hands on:
PX4 Storm compact/sc- wow those look cool
Walther P99c
Kahr PM9 and CW9
Sig P250

Ok so I haven't narrowed it down at all but have actually made the list longer :rotflmao: Off to the gun show!

Well a little disappointed there wasn't a better selection at the gun show but I did get to narrow my choices down after handling a few-
PX4 Storm compact- looks cool but looks aren't everything, felt a little "obtuse" plus on the heavy side at 26 oz.
XDsc- also heavy at 26 oz. but felt good
Walther P99c- all they had was a .40 but liked it. They had a PPS flat carry which is very cool but the $700 price tag scared me away. Also the P99 ($619) felt great but on the big side for what I want.
Kahr PM9- too small, besides already have an LCP
Kahr CW9- compact, flat, light, would be a good summertime ccw
Sig 250- I'd probably love a Sig but it's on the big and heavy side for what I want
Which leaves the Ruger SR9c and the SW M&P compact. I found a few 9c's but none all black (with black slide) or I might have traded in my Sigma and brought one home. There were no SW M&P compacts to be found but I'll find one someplace to check out then probably decide between it and the SR9c. :2pistol:

I may have talked to you, i talked to one guy wanting to trade a 9mm sigma.

I voted for the SR9c because I just bought one. I haven't shot it yet but I can tell you that the trigger is kind of rough. I have not cleaned it yet neither (new gun grease). Hopefully after some good cleaning it will feel better. I do like the way it feels tough. I still carry my G22. You may not like the Glocks but they are the ultimate in reliability. Just my thoughts.

I have not heard very good things about the SR9s, an dlike you said I heard they have HORRIBLE triggers on them. I would definately start doing some polishing on all the internals. Like Matt said, as far as reliability......nothing beats a Glock. But you said you don't like the feel of the Glock so I would reccommend he Walther P99C next, definately get the 9. I had a .40 I carried for a while and it is a bit snappy but the 9 shoots like a dream, the P99C fits great in my hand and is easy to conceal

Hey MattC8444 have you shot that SR9c yet? Some reviews say the trigger is great, also read that they come in need of a good cleaning and function much better after break-in. Funny I finally decided to get one and can't find one with the black slide anyplace, one shop said he'd call soon as his distributor got some in and that was a month ago. Maybe there'll be one at the gun show this weekend but I doubt it, will probably just order one online after the holidays.

Kinda tardy here...missed it somehow. Gotta be different...all METAL classic Smith & Wesson 3913. Don't see'em for sale everyday, for a reason...people KEEP them. A dream to carry, and fun & easy to shoot...seriously.
