If you have the opportunity to shoot a Ruger SR9c, by all means do so!!! It is a very nice to shoot as well as carry.

That is what I plan to purchase after the holidays.

Not very well known, but I fully whole-heartedly recommend the Bersa Thunder 9mm Pro Ultra Compact. Very reliable and shootable. DA/SA with decocker/safety. 13 round mags. A little on the bigger/heavier side for a compact, but shoots real well. It's my everyday carry piece.

I have been playing with the idea getting a compact 9mm to carry. I was just wanting some thoughts or recommendations.

Don't. Get a service model M & P. 4 inch barrel.

Then do it, and since you like the Glock I would go with the Glock 26 or 19.

I have the Glock 26, its a nice gun, extremely accurate and easy to carry.

I have a Glock 19 which is tankproof and would highly recommend it to anyone. I would rather get a gun that would last me a lifetime than a 300 gun that may have some issues or may last a lifetime.

Some will say XD'S some will say glocks (same as hi points) but you have to go with what feels right to you and I think it will prob be an XD

Did you really just compare a high point to a glock? Thats like kicking a guy in the nuts, pokeing him in the eye, and biteing his ear off at the same time!!! just wrong man!!!!

Lots of great choices have been mentioned but in my experience, you simply cannot underestimate the comfort of single stack 9mm guns. The Walther PPS or Taurus 709 slim are great polymer options but for rock solid reliability and comfort, I would at least take a look at the Smith and Wesson single stack 9mm guns like the S&W 3913, 3914 or 908. Light, thin and comfortable enough to be carried IWB all day even in the summer with no print.

I have to say that I really like my Glock 19, and am considering a Glock 26. The 19 is a little larger frame than the sub-compacts (kel tec, LCP, etc.) but it fits the hand nicely, allows a solid two-hand grip, and is reliable.

I'm just east of ya, out in Greenfield. I've got a XD9sc that you can test fire if you'd like. Shoot me a PM if you want.

G19 or Sig P250, both light and fun to shoot. Also easy to carry if you want to.

I carry a Springfield XDm with a 3.8" barrel, and couldn't be happier. One nice bonus with this weapon is the included paddle holster. I use it when I OC, and have another for carrying concealed.

That said, its still a medium-sized weapon. If you want something really small, the Taurus single-stack 9mm's aren't a bad way to go.

What's wrong with carrying a Kel-Tec P-11 or PF-9? Both are excellent compact 9mm's. Simple, no safeties and strictly a SD weapon. I have never experienced any problem with them or in carrying them.

Roger on the Kel-Tecs!

G19 or Sig P239. Not much info on the 239, but a good shootin gun!

 

[npbrownf]

Thanks for all the suggestions!

 

[pig957]

check out the Taurus 709 Slim. I love mine.

If you're still looking at 9mm compacts, don't overlook the Taurus24/7 cds. some say the trigger pull is too long, but I have no problems going back and forth from my Xd9 sc to my wifes 24/7 cds 9mm. (I like em both! ) and they are both double stack compacts! The Taurus feels somewhat lighter, but otherwise there is very little difference.
