Best Semi Auto 9mm Compact Pistol

CZ P-01
Reliable, Accurate. It will serve you well for a lifetime and your offsprings lifetime after you hand it down.

Yes, Sig Sauer P938, the companion 9mm to the P239 380 ACP.

Sig also makes a kit that lets you switch out the barrel and magazine to shoot 22 LR Ammunition for the range. I works quite well.

A Sig 365 probably take the prize in today's market.

If you're buying a gun for the look of it, you're interested in the wrong hobby. But by all means, buy the "prettiest" one you can find. Make sure its real shiny, too.

yep ,decocker ,no safety bullshit.

Glock 19!

Best combat gun.... not overhyped, not the prettiest, not necessarily the most accurate but more so than most shooters

Glock 26 is you need something smaller.

Unlimited aftermarket support for both is a plus

22LR, 960 Rowland, 356TSW conversions are available for other ammo.

I guess that one should maybe consider a 45acp, 10mm, or 40S&W Glock in order to have more caliper conversion choices.

He wants to get away from the higher caliber but I 100% agree with Glock. The reliability of a stock Glock is just insane.

Hi point c9!!!

You misspelled Hi point Yeet Cannon!

You can work on the trigger but the Gen 3 is the only one on our fucking 'approved list".

Anything by HK is high quality, durable and reliable.

M&P 2.0 compact with the 3.6 inch barrel is nice too. Same exact size as a Glock 19 but feels way more comfortable in the hand.

I never said that I was looking for a good looking pistol. I am looking for the best all around serviceable firearm. I've had 1911s for many, many years.

Glock 19

Just a heads up for our boys in Idaho. I went into Mid-Star in Middletown last week. I don't know how they do it but the inventory was incredible. They has almost everything in stock.

No mark up. I asked the owner how he does it, he just told me that he works hard.

The Cabela's in Boise had nothing but empty shelves.

I wanna also add to this that you should highly consider stepping up to a .40 caliber instead of 9mm. The recoil isn’t as bad as some people claim it is. It’s really not much different than 9mm with the right gun. It’s not much different than 9mm at all.

The biggest difference is you should have a lot easier time finding .40 ammo rather than 9mm. 9mm has been perpetually cleaned out in my area for months now. You can also buy a .357 sig barrel for it and swap it out so you have much more ammo variety you can buy.

From what I’ve read and what people tell me, .40 is also cheaper than 9mm right now too for some odd reason.

Don’t bother getting a 9mm right now unless Trump wins his lawsuits proving election fraud. If you can’t find ammo then it’s just an expensive paperweight.

I could buy 1000 right now of either for 60 cents a bullet literally no difference in price.

I fired a small Glock in.40 and it was pretty "snappy" but your right about the ammo. I'll look it up but does Glock have a .40 in a compact 19 sized pistol?

Custom G19 w/ Heavy Armor Div. custom slide with rmr cut.
Trijicon RMR w/ co-witness suppressor height Trijicon night sights. Match grade ss bbl w/stike ind compensator.
Full internal swap with ghost inc, Zev tech and strykout trigger system.
Alot of money spent but she handles like a race car! And so does her twin sister!!!!

Glock 23 is the same exact size as a 19

The bigger and heavier a gun is, the less recoil you’ll feel when you shoot it.

If you’re looking to conceal carry, you should get the biggest gun you can comfortably conceal for the best compromise.

Yeah yeah sig, glocks whatever. Try a walther creed with 16 mag size and its cheap.

S&W M&P 9 Shield EZ or a revolver.

And the first time you have to use for self defense you’ll spend years in court trying to explain to the jury why you needed all those enhancements and how much more you know than the manufacturer. Lmfao I’m not saying that’s not an awesome sounding gun or that I don’t have a few of the same upgrades include rmr and suppressor night sights but go watch Massad Ayoob on custom triggers.

bought this for the wife also. wasnt so sure she would take to the small subcompact. she love it and so do I, sure its not a glock but this is her first carry pistol and she loves it.

Block 19.

According to purchases.

Sorry bud but you're wrong, wrong, wrong. Its about matching the recoil spring pressure with the rounds you are shooting.
Example...I use a 17lb recoil spring, 8lb firing pin spring, shooting 147gr spx rounds and have 0 acquisition time on target with split second reaction, and dead on accuracy. If i use fmj rd @ 115 grain my aquisition of target jumps by at least 2 inches or 1-2 sec.. So, i must take the recoil down to 11-13lbs to compensate.
It takes practice and adjustments but its a hell of alot safer than carrying around a dirty harry cannon when your life is on the line!

I have a cheap revolver in .357, my second shots always suck.

cz75bd compact

Until it's deemed illegal to run those parts thru my weapon, in my state, then I'll continue to do so. My carry has a 5.5lb trigger as does the stock. My race gun has a 3.5lb. It's simple really....if someone enters my home complaining about my upgrades and accuracy...well, that person can complain to God because it's my duty to arrange the meeting!
