Help choosing a compact 9mm pistol

[tallbump]

I'd look at the m&p shield+
Sig P365
Mossberg MC2sc
Taurus GX4
Ruger Max 9
Springfield Hellcat
Glock 43x

These are all great choices.

I would say any of the Smith's are great choices. The Shield, Shield Plus, Shield 2.0...or the Compact

Also, check out the Taurus G2C and G3C... Both are great guns and well under budget, and shouldn't be hard to find.

Yup this is the list.

I'd say 365 or XL and Shield + are at the top.

Good luck!

If you find yourself in the king of prussia area, I have a sig p365 and a kahr cm9 that you are welcome to try shooting to see how you like them.

I can highly recommend the P365XL. Small, light, accurate, and very easily concealable.

Don*t overlook the recent spat of micro compacts with larger capacity magazines. Sig 365 was the first. Ruger, smith and Wesson, Springfield and Taurus all now have a version.

The Kel Tec P11 beat SIG by 22 years.

With literally 'bajillions' of choices it's impossible to say. Not to mention... define "compact." That varies case-by-case too.

It's gonna come down to your personal preference. The gun you actually carry is far superior to the one you leave on the nightstand, all else aside.

My choice was/is an M&P "Shield" 9mm with extended magazine. I like the size, heft, slimness, etc.

But that's me. It's all down to personal preference.

Great example: My FAVORITE 9mm is my H&K VP9. It is IMHO all-around a better gun. Better accuracy, near-orgasmic trigger, better capacity, etc.

But... too big to carry. My 9mm 'Shield' is in nearly-all ways an "inferior" gun. Except I actually carry it - which makes it infinetely superior for EDC.

Montco group shoot??

If there is any way you can scrape the money to get the Sig, you will never regret it.

[STBear]

Almost everyone likes the way my Shield feels in their hand but loves the way my Sig 365 shoots.
