Compact 9mm SA/DA pistol?

[88E30M50]

The Bersa 9UC Pro would fit the need quite well. They run about $350 and are excellent guns. The Bersa 380's have had some disconnector spring issues on a batch made around 2008, but the 9s are the best of their line. I've had mine since July or August and have put about 800 rounds through it without a single failure of any sort. I bought mine for the same reason you are looking for one. I wanted something between my full size 1911 and my 380s and it pretty much replaced my 1911 as my daily carry gun. I may change back to the 1911 with the colder weather, but will still carry the Bersa 9 with total confidence.

How about a Smith and Wesson M&P compact?

Sig 228, Sig 239, HK USP Compact or HK P2000

Well, I've narrowed it down... a little...I think. haha.
Melensdad- I agree I was originally looking at the CZ p-01 becuase it was "compact" and I had been wanting a CZ, but then I realized the dimensions and just kind of laughed at the word, "compact." I am intersted in the RAMI series though, didn't know about it. I also am definitely interested in the Sig. The Bersa, Taurus 24/7, and the S&W 3913, I don't know much about. I will check them out, but I would also appreciate any opinions between these. Also if you happen to know some prices (new and used) I would appreciate those. Thanks for all the suggestion!!

Check out Sigforum, in the classifieds... lots of different guns, and not too uncommon to see 239s priced pretty reasonably.

If price is an issue, there's always a Keltec P11 or PF9. I have a P11 and I like it. 11 rounds of 9mm in my pocket makes me feel pretty safe, and the gun functions flawlessly.

You can get a SA XD9 SubCompace from vanceoutdoors for about $410

 

[LLDJR]

I would suggest the Kahr PM9 or CW9, both are smaller and lighter than my Glock 19

The PM9 is a little lighter (costs more) and the CW is cheaper ($409)

They also make a .40 and .45 version

 

[basswizard]

Plus 1 on the Karh PM9. Perfect for concealabilty IWB (crossbreed Micro holster). I have a pocket wallet but for me is just a little too big for covert carry in jeans pocket that way. IMHO as far as 9MM go, it is the smallest, most accurate and reliable gun on the market that I would carry if my life depended on it.

 

[HmmOhhIC]

what about a Sig P239

 

[alwalker84]

Cant believe no one has suggested the S&W 3913

Or 6906

 

[XDs4me]

If you dont have a money issue I recommend the EMP. The 40 cal is an all metal model where the 9mm is not. But they are a quality gun and a bit pricey but a hell of a gun. I have the 40 as my every day carry.

 

[cjacobs]

Cant believe no one has suggested the S&W 3913

+1
very nice

 

[cjacobs]

also a good piece

 

[msgro22]

<<<<-------24/7 in a 45 under 450

 

[Dryden]

How about a Smith and Wesson M&P compact?

Add me to this choice. No problems after two years and it's going strong.

 

[bbbas55]

what about a taurus millinum 9mm. mid sized, light and a very nice fireing weapon
