reliable thin 9mm pistol?

[JohnN]

I have been planning on picking up a Sig Sauer P6 for my thin gun,
Reliable, good size, can be had for around $300 and well, Its a Sig.
Similar to the P225 but they are the older W. German....

I agree, carried a P225 for several years and always found it to be super reliable, light, very flat and accurate.

I carry a M&P 9c but when I need deeper concealment in summer I carry my S&W J frame revolver

My vote is for a Kahr PM9. A friend of mine is 5'2" and in IWB CCW with no problem. He would probably have trouble with my Glock 26. He owns a XDm But says it's too big for him to CCW. As I said Kahr PM9.

Hey OP, what's your budget?

Higher budget: Springfield EMP, Kimber Ageis, Para Carry 9 or PDA, Kahr P-9, PM-9, MK-9, H&K P2000sk. ETA: H&K P7 variant

Moderate Budget: Ruger SR9c, M&P9c, G26, Kahr CW-9, Sig P250sc, XDsc, Beretta PX-4sc (They're chunky, but not as chunky as they look in photos...kind of like me!)

Slightly less than the above: KelTec PF-9 or P11, a Bersa product

So, how much do you want to spend? What type of action do you like best?

If I could afford one, I'd own a Para Carry 9.

My current drool as well...albeit not not on my dept's carry list

Probably going to end up with a PF-9 myself.

Why don't you talk to the powers that be on your dept about allowing the PO Carry-9. It seems I remember reading that the C9 was made for off duty and under cover officers. Find out what it would take for them to accept it.
JMO, the PF-9 is no where close to being in the PO C-9 class. (I own both)

P7M8

 

[luvall]

SR9C would be my second choice

 

[henktermaat]

My PF-9 is great, reliable, and the smallest, lightest 9mm out there. Don't waste your money on a Kahr.

I love my CW40! Very slim, and is a dream to cary IWB.

Bersa 9mm are good guns, won't be too hard to conceal. single stack 9+1 iirc. recoil not too bad. imo they're a little too thin for comfort, but I have big hands. I like my friend's KT PF9 for the grip, and he CC's it with no trouble.

Bersa 9mm are good guns, won't be too hard to conceal. single stack 9+1 iirc.

The Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra Compact is a double-stack 13rd. The only single-stack 9mm in their lineup is the BP9CC, which AFAIK is not actually available yet.

HK P7 PSP, Shoots like a match pistol, Feeds any ammo Ive tried, Not much bigger than a G26 and a bit thinner. Try it you'll like it.

Taurus 709 Slim

Great little gun and fairly accurate for the size. I love mine and carry it frequently.

 

[wally05]

Great stuff, guys. I've had a p7m8 and a beretta sub compact. I'm for any type of trigger, but since my main carry doesn't have an external safety, I'd rather my smaller pistol doesn't either. These are great suggestions, guys.

Everyone tells me im under gun with my 9mm .I personally think anything would be find for protection i carry a XDM now but would like to carry a smaller 9 like a Glock 26 or a Kimber CDP2 or maybe a Springfield EMP Any thoughts

 

[Larryjr]

Taurus 709 should be a consideration. I have had mine for a while. Its sounds like what you're looking for.

that's more of a caliber question, but no, you are not undergunned with a 9mm... people that say that are morons and you shouldn't listen to them in the first place. Kimbers are nice, but use a schwartz safety, I'd say the emp is the best of that bunch.
