[ARCHIVED THREAD] - (8+1) 9mm single stacks available

Posted: 8/24/2015 6:45:31 PM EDT

Just making sure I consider all the options, so I want to know what's out there:

The best thing for me would be a single stack glock 19. This boils down to:

5" tall (8+1 mags)
4" barrel (willing to go as low as 3.5")
polymer + striker fired (highly prefer no external safety)

Besides a Walther CCP, Kahr, or XD-s, am I missing anything in that category?

The shield other than your shy on your barrel length by .4" Though I'd think the velocity gain on 4/10's would be negligible. G43 with some Taran Tactical mag extenders, 3.3" barrel so only shy by 2/10's.

3953? smith, (really just a 3913 with a DAO and no safety. )
IIRC ruger makes a striker fired 9mm LCS? which is 3.5 I think.

G43 with a +2 mag extension. It's a great gun

I would probably go with the S&W Shield, or Springfield XDS 4.0 if you really want the longer barrel.

Walter PPS. They shoot like they have longer barrels.

Glock 43 and put a +2 mag extension on the mags.

Taurus P111 Gen2?

Walther PPS
3.2" barrel but .3" is not going to make any significant difference.

Might look at the Kahr P9 or CT9; the CT9 is the bigger of the two. For ccw purposes I'd lean more toward the P9 personally.

P9:

CT9:

The TP9 is another one worth looking at; basically a more nicely-finished version of the CT.

What's wrong with a Glock 19?

HK P7? Finding holsters might be an issue unless you go custom. You are giving up a lot for 7 mm less width, at best.

The lock turned me off to it. Do they produce a version without the lock? Cause I don't buy guns with locks.

1.2"[30.5 mm] is a bit wider than a Glock 19 [30 mm]. It also has a longer grip. It is shorter, but that is the easy part to conceal. You also give up 3 rounds of capacity.
I would do a XDS 3.0 before the Taurus.

I haven't shot one, but was very impressed with the ergos and etc. (ditto on the Walther ccp)

Probably because most don't think a 2 1/2 pound trigger pull (after a long "dead" takeup) is suitable for a concealed carry defensive firearm.

I literally pleaded with the Apex folks to do their magic on the BP9CC with a proper trigger and trigger pull, and bypass the lock and magazine disconnect.
