both new and used (different calibers).

compact for carry or what?

 

If you do not mind glocks, Glock 26 seems to be a popular choice. if you do not mind a little bit bigger gun, CZ75 compacts are great, as well as they are steel, so a tad heavier.

 

Pretty much any manufacturer is going to have a compact version of your favorite gun.

GLOCK 26 is Subcompact

Go with a GLOCK 19. It is a Commpact and carries 15 rounds of whatever you want to feed it in 9mm.

$600 Sig P229

$550 S&W M&P9

$500 Sig P250

$500 Glock 19

$450 Ruger SR9

$400 Taurus PT111

$350 Kel-Tec PF-9

Prices are estimates

All are compact versions

Px4 Storm Compact? $550'ish.

$600 Sig P229

$550 S&W M&P9

$500 Sig P250

$500 Glock 19

$450 Ruger SR9

$400 Taurus PT111

$350 Kel-Tec PF-9

Prices are estimates

All are compact versions

 

Now, that's selling it, Paul! Get the P229!

CZ 75d compact or a CZ p01 is a great compact gun. Carries 14 + 1 rounds. Used sig 229's or 228's can easily be found in the $600 range, so it's not far off from what your looking to spend.

Now, that's selling it, Paul! Get the P229!

I didn't mean to advertise here. Just putting out a comparison of the different models available. I don't want to be banned again.

It's my fault. I linked your page.

If $500 is your limit you can't do wrong with a Glock 19.

lol Max i wish. i found that i dont do that well with full frame pistols. so i prefer compact.

P229 in 9mm ???

Little out of your price range but I love my usp compact 9. They can be had for around 600

Plan "Z" ??? Come take a free shooting session with me on a G19.

I'm guessing you want a compact double stack 9mm?

 

Glock 19, best of both worlds. Concealalbe, shootable, accurate, and excellent capacity.

damn a lot of Glock fans 8) ... i will def look into G19 again.

also gonna look into gettin one of those fine pistols in .40S&W instead of 9mm

also have the EAA withess.. can be had between 450 and 500..

 

comes in steel or polymer.. also even though it is a cz clone the barrel is rifled so you can shoot lead or plated boolitz..

+2 on EAA Witness

Paul what about the XD9? Just curious where it falls in the list.

my wife just got an xd9 from buds for 439 shipped...add for nics and transfer and it was well under 500.

nice gun too

Springfield XD9 def worth considering. ty for the tip

so i went to Meltzers before work. daaamn i really wanna push up my spending limit.... but i have to be responsible 8) anyways sorry Glock fans that grip still doesnt work for me.

for my price range and the grip feel i liked >>> Stoeger Cougar 9mm, Ruger SR-9 and Springfield XD40 ...... search continues

Don't forget the trigger feel. That SR9's got a really weird trigger.

i know what you mean... but i think i can fix it.

ergonomics trumps price.

i know what you mean... but i think i can fix it.

 

yes you can!

 

another SR9 fan in the making!

went to Luciano's Sport Shop today... tried G19 4th Gen >>> WOW wat a difference!!!!! Grip feels completely different from all the previous Gens. i liked it very much. Glock is defiantly back in the race 8) he has one in 9mm and one in .40. any input on wat caliber is generally preferred in G19 ? also has PARA 1911 in the same price range ... hmmm 8) next gonna try to make in to Bullet Hole. also will stop by Ramsey Outdoor. do you think its a good idea to also stop by Mike's Gun Shop in Fairview?

 

PS thank you Krdshrk for correcting me. G23 in .40S&W
