Subcompact Suggestions

[MOUNTAINORACLE]

I went with the Rohrbaugh 9mm if you want to stay with the 9mm cartridge you won't be sorry.

It evicted my Seecamp .308 from my right front pocket.

I carry a Springfield XD9SC on warmer days... It's a subcompact and conceals nicely with a Galco King-Tuc but is still a bit chunky on my 170lb body.

I also have a Walther PPS in .40... By far the best concealment pistol! Single stack set up in 9mm or .40... I can carry it in a pair of basketball shorts and tank top in a Galco Stow-n-go without printing much. The only drawback is it's a bit more pricey than the Springer.

Both are dead accurate and super reliable!

Nice little ruger you got there. Love to hear how you like it at the range.

Glock 26 that's all you need to know!

YES!

I love my baby glock

much less likely to stick its butt out under my t-short than my 19


I carry in either a supertuck or a phantom depending on my mood

After wandering about this past week sorta "forced OC" because of the climbing mercury, I've found that my full-size 9mm doesn't do so well for concealed summer carry. I was wondering if anybody had some insight for a nice, economical subcompact to use as a summertime CC or BUG when I'm OC'ing? Price range would have to be less than $500. I'd prefer 9mm so I don't have to buy different ammo.

Kahr CW9. IMO there is just no competition in your price range.

It's pretty fancy, and has some neat features that I like, specifically the thumb safety and the key lock for the trigger mechanism. If it's as accurate as this S&W, it's a good purchase. I'm taking it to the range tomorrow, so I'll have a detailed report.

If it's anything like my LCP, then it should be quite accurate indeed. And reliable.

I don't think that was one of my options when I was at the store (Whitehall Army/Navy... some people don't like it but I've always been treated well and the prices are pretty decent depending on what you're after). I opted for the LC9 because I like the thumb safety for when I'm going to pocket carry. It might be irrational, but it makes more comfortable that I won't end up shooting myself in the leg.

If anybody has that Kahr and a free afternoon in the Lehigh Valley, I have a guest pass to Easton Fish and Game. We can punch some holes in paper and really give the LC9 (and maybe the SD9) a workout.
