Not on your list, but I would pick the Beretta Nano.

 

Smaller than most on that list. Has no manual safety, and no external slide catch. Handles the 9mm recoil like a big gun. I am very accurate with it out to 7yds without using the sights, just point and shoot.

Another vote for the Beretta Nano.

 

I have one.  Just added on a centerfire laser.  It's snagless.  Has 6 or 8 round mags.  Long, relatively heavy trigger pull but it's a good trigger.  As there's no safety and it's striker fired, I would prefer a long trigger pull like this anyway.

No love for the kahr pm9..... Wow. Also if you aren't dead set on a semi try the Ruger LCR. Thats how a trigger should feel.

Btw voted for the xds.

Changed to pm9

 

Ever take a PM9 apart?

You know what it says inside?

GLOCK

 

If GLOCK made a single stack I'd be there.

But since they do not, I'll take the next best thing.

I have a PM9. Had it for close to 7 years or so now.

 

Great gun, reliable, nice trigger, usable sights, slim, lightweight, everything I wanted an a sub-compact single stack 9 - but it is expensive. I got lucky and bought it off a co-worker for ~$300.

 

I shot a buddy's Shield. I want one now - but... I don't know of it will replace my PM9 as a carry gun.

Have one of these on order, which reminds me I need to go pay for this! Completely forgot until this thread jogged my memory. Been working all day and night this past week with the cold spell. If I don't see another frozen pipe or gelled oil tank until next winter it will be too soon.

 

*** Update***

Paid in full waiting on permits, I'm excited!

I have carried the Shield everyday all day,with few exceptions, since the first of August. And while I would not dare say that I could have had any pistol I wanted, I could have had any on your list .

 

the Shield is superb, perhaps the perfect combination of a Service Caliber and duty-pistol and a concealed carry firearm. Its a joy to shoot and operate / maintain / etc. but you also forget you're carrying it several times a day.

 

 

It would be nice to carry a show piece, but I love my shield.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
