Light weight 9mm with cool attachments suggestions.

[Ganier14]

I am looking for suggestions on a lightweight 9mm with new types of attachments that can be added easily. Preferably 20+ shot clip standard. Something easy to carry also. I was looking at a FN 509 but I’m being told their are better and newer types out there. What suggestions does anyone have. Thanks

What do you mean by attachments? Tons of pistols have a rail to attach a light or laser. You can also look for models with slides cut for a red dot.

ETA: Are you planning to carry this? Probably not going to find many "lightweight" guns that are 20+ rounds.

Pfffft... I'm not impressed unless it has the chainsaw attachment.

That's better. I like the tactical glue gun.

That ones probably my favorite too, just trying to find a glue gun suppressor is tough.

As said there are many guns with rails to attach lights or lasers. Light weight generally means a polymer frame. 20+ rounds is a bit trickier. You'll need an extended magazine (not a clip) for that. Choices are abundant,

i am new to the gun range. I have a FN five-seven but it’s a bigger pistol and more expensive for ammo. I like glocks but they are typically heavy for a 9mm and to carry. I do like subcompact but I hate having to reload at the range often. Any other suggestions.

FYI, there is a difference between magazine and a clip.

Out of curiosity, which Glocks do you consider heavy? Aren’t most of them within an ounce or two of their lightest competitors?

A glock shouldn't be heavier than most options and it'd be lighter than a lot. However not just Glock but, CZ, S&W and the list goes on for lightweight polymer 9mm pistols.
However, light weight and a minimum of a 20 round capacity mag don't really go hand in hand as it adds a lot of weight. If you want a full size pistol and would be willing to look at 17+ you've got some more options. Or if you'd drop to 15 round mags you'll save even more weight and have even more options open up. Are you worried about capacity for the range or weight/size when carrying? I also don't know what you mean by attachments, but adding a light or dot to most modern pistols is no problem.

As others said, 20 rounds is the limiting factor unless you use extended baseplates. I know of two popular guns that have 19 round factory magazines +1 in the chamber gets you 20. Both made by CZ. Both 9mm.

CZ P-09 is hammer-fired, polymer frame with 19 round flush-fit magazine. CZ P-10F is striker-fired, polymer frame with 19 round flush-fit magazine. Both have picatinny rails.
The P-10F comes in an optics-ready version which has a slide cut for mounting red dots. Both the P-09 and P-10F come in a suppressor-ready version, difference being a threaded barrel and higher suppressor-height iron sights from the factory.

Both can be found sub-$400 if you wait for the right deal.

Buy more mags, load them at home. Problem solved.

I meant magazine. I’m sorry I’m new to this. Just trying to see what suggestions are out there for someone like myself. Google brings up thousands and I can’t get opinions as much.

G19 is likely the gun most "accessorizable" gun out there. On top of being the most likely encountered among other carriers and retailers.

You can easily and economically make the G19 into whatever you want. If you don't permanently molest it too badly, you can also resell it for a reasonably high % of your initial investment, especially if you bought it used to start with.

No problem. May I ask what this pistol will be for?
How much experience/training do/have you had?

This was going to be my suggestion too. Personally I think everyone should have a minimum of 10 mags for every pistol they own. More is better.

Also with a Glock 26/19/17 you have the option of using the 33 round mags. Great for the range, but can even be carried as a spare reload for EDC. Not super practical, but doable.

Not sure about attachment aspect but 15 round mags are now available for the sig p365
That's about as light as you can get for 15 rounds
