Best single stack 9 conceal carry

Anything and 10,000 rounds of practice

I resisted the Shield for a long time.

I wanted to like the Beretta Nano (big Beretta fan here) but it just feels like a cap gun in your hand. Bersa BP9 had the same issue. Glock had no yet released their new models of single stack, so the only other options were Ruger (meh... OK, but nothing exciting) S&W or Walther PPS. The PPS is probably the best quality gun of them all, but its only a tiny bit better than the shield ,and its twice the price.

That's how I ended up with a shield.

HK P7 squeeze cocker. Great gun, just stupidly overpriced.

If you buy an XDS please buy it used. That way Springfield gets none of your money. Just throwing that out there.

Whats wrong with Springfield getting the dough?

Some people got mad at them a couple years ago so they decided to not do business with them. They made some kind of statement regarding some Illinois licensing and I guess they flip-flopped on what they said.

I really didn't follow it as I'm not in the market to buy anything but I'm sure others will explain it.

It's up to you whether to join in on the boycott or not.

Yes, we should endeavor to put all firearms manufacturers out of business. S&W colluded with the Clintons, Bill Ruger thinks you are a POS if you need more than 10 rounds, CZs are made by former commies and Glocks were born in the same place as Hitler! Just throwing that out there...

OK I see, butt hurt as usual gun owners.

I recently acquired a used but never fired Glock 43 9mm and with Pierce +1 mag extensions, fits in my smaller hands like a glove.
Accuracy...it's a tack-driver, and I'm very pleased with it's fit, feel, accuracy, reliability, size, etc.

I would take a look at the p365xl. Its not a "single stack". However, its double stack makes are designed so well its very close to the width of a single stack.

My favorite single stack is my 225-A1.

Not single stacks but my HK USP 9 LEM compact and CZ PO1 SDP are only fractions wider than the 225. Love all three.

S&W Shield and Glock's 43, 43x, 48 are all great choices! I have see too many XD-S's fail to trust one.

I carry the MP Shield 2.0 with 8 shot mag. I really like it but it is bigger than i expected originally and i am still not used to the lack of a safety yet.

I’ve only ever shot the XDS9, but I love my MP Shield 9, it’s a small sub compact single stack that shoots like a compact to me. I like that I can put the 8 rd mags if needed.

Although I’ve either been carrying Glock 19 for casual wear or Pocket carrying the PF9 during work

The Shield hasn’t really been worn in a while

If you're specifically looking for single stack you cant go wrong with a shield.

I agree. I have the shield and love it

My fav is my XDS9 4". I also throw the XDS45 4" in rotation at times. JMHO with the extended mags they shoot like full size to me and carry like compacts.

I love my Glock 43, but I'm partial to Glocks. I've found no faults with it, and I picked it up up soon after its release. I have at least 1000 rounds through it. No issues other than a Tula round stovepiping.

I was very tempted by the Sig P365 due to the fact that it's about the same size as the 43, and it isn't single stack.
