Because he seems to be caught up on the small size issue. My wife's birthday is this weekend. I hope to have a conversation, and try to figure out what he's looking for and why.Why the lc9s and not a sr9?

the subcompact is no longer the "baby Glock"
...as that title now belongs to the 42...
(tell him to give that thing a whirl)

That doesn't make any sense.
The Glock subcompact's are the G26 (9mm) and G27 (.40).
The Glock is just their .380. It's not a compact, subcompact or even a full size. It's just a .380.
Thats only if he was to get the P89 DAO model. There is also a P89 DA/SA model and the hammer goes back and cocks when you rack the slide. You of course can decock it and that would put it in DA mode. It has a safety so you could carry cocked and locked.P89, P91, etc could be a non starter due to the heavy DA pull on the first round. Other than that you are correct. SOLID guns, easy to shoot, and can be had for under 300 in some cases. I have an 89 and LOVE it. Its fun to shoot. He probably needs to stick to a striker fired weapon though so he isnt worried about that first DA pull.
Really, it's just something to carry when you can't carry a gun!(purple as necessary)That doesn't make any sense.

P series rugers are rather large frame handguns. My first handgun I ever owned was P89 DA/SA model. Great gun and it never missed a bit on me. It gobbled everything I ever loaded it with.
Home defense gun = shotgun, IMO
Pistols are not the best choice for defense... The reason many people rely on them is because they are portable, thats important when your walking around town, running errands, but if your talking strictly home defense, portability is irrelevant. Keep the .380 as a backup home defense gun, but he would really be better off with a pump action 12ga, or 20ga if recoil of 12ga is too much. Its hard to beat buckshot in the home defense role.

Might I suggest the sar 9 or the witness ? Both are 15 + 1 9mm with safety and the best part is they are both less that 300.00!
What part of America are those manufactured in?
"He wants something American made"
Right there in the OP...
