[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Looking for a single stack 9mm (Page 1 of 3)

Any recommendations on a single stack 9mm?
So far I've checked out a Shield and a Nano. Didn't like the Nano because there isn't a manual slide release. Shield pointed well, felt decently balanced. Wondering what else I should check out. I looked at a friends XDs a while back, just never been a fan of the XD grip. He also recommended going with the Shield because the trigger is better and it's only $400. Just wondering what else I should check out. |

Shield was awful snappy to me. Ergo's just didn't work with me I guess.
Nano is ... Weird. Not a fan of the Kahr trigger. R51 was a horrid shoot. Hear excellent things about the PPS CCP has an amazing trigger and it feels great in the hand although the example I fucked with... That slide appears to be made of sintered something or other that I'm sure is fine but doesn't feel sturdy. People seem to like the p938 but it's... Small? G42 shoots amazing. I am in love with my 9mm 1911 commander I would wait until shot and see if glock pulls one out of it's ass. Maybe someone else will spring one? |

If you're going to do that, at least wait for the striker-fired version to hit the streets and be recalled before you buy one. Quoted:

Impressive given that the presser was only a week ago. I liked the feel of the LC9 I tried until I pulled the trigger... and pulled... and pulled... and pulled... Curious about the LC9s but not in any rush to replace my PM9. |

At least they recall stuff instead of ignoring it and it's usually just some legaleze bullshit anyway. |
| After going to a large LGS and handling every small 9 they had I went with a Sig P938 and couldn't be happier. I got the Blackout version with the rubber grips and extended magazine and it fits my hand perfectly, but still conceals really well under a light shirt. I also get an extra round compared with many of the others. I was more that $400 but to me, it was worth it. |
| I can't imagine ever ditching my Kahr PM9 for when I'm wearing tighter clothing and can't conceal (to my satisfaction) my Glock 26. So tiny and it's had 500+ rounds of 124g +P Gold Dots cycled through it without a single hangup. It's expensive, but the CM9 is the cheaper version of it. |

I love my xds 9. Triggdr doesn't suck when you install a PRP spring kit. Even stock, I like the XDS trigger better than the Shield's. Gonna have to look into the spring kit. I also have always liked the grip safety on the XD line. They're both fine guns, though (as long as you get the Shield without the manual safety). The Shield seems to be a little cheaper. |

My personal opinion is that any of those guns are going to need grip tape or stippled, and a nice trigger if I'm going to be able to shoot them to my standards. I went with shield, grip take, apex trigger, and warren 2 dots. - Luckily, I got the gun for a steal, but had I not I probably wouldve ended up with a Kahr CM9. Much better trigger out of the box. The XDs's trigger aint bad either, but it's an XD. |
