Your choice of the P225 A1 was excellent. I had been looking for one for a while and finally found one in excellent used condition two days ago. What a gem!
Justin, I have to say that you have some of the best and most comprehensive videos around. They are always relevant and interesting. Thank you for your time and effort.
pghfan97 totally agree
Excellent in-depth reviews with pros and cons, for each. Great for someone compiling a running list or shopping list! Thank you!
I carry the Kahr PM9. Absolutely love it!!! I have to wear a suit/tie for work so conceal is difficult. I can drop this one in my pocket & it’s concealed. Very reliable. Finally found a concealable pistol with enough firepower.
ACE Smith I carry a Kahr cm9 and works great. If the Glock 43 was out years prior I probably would have been carrying that. Glock failed on that.. most of us dont want .380 auto 42
The Shield 9 has been my daily SS9 for many years and I could not get by without it. It conceals perfect in the hot humid SE Texas summers (which is most of the year) and has been 100% reliable. It is a pleasure to shoot as well and I would not hesitate to put hundreds of rounds through it in one session, or even attend a course with it. I have just recently picked up a Shield 45 and it is amazing as well.
I would never bet my life on a shield. They don't back their guns. Ruger is American made too. I prefer the Lc9s Pro to the shield 9 any day. I would bet my life on the Ruger! . Shawn
I love the Walther PPS M2. Shoots amazing, very good quality and easy to conceal. Fits my big hands very well. Plus, it's got a $100 Walther rebate running until sometime in September! (still waiting on my rebate...) I've shot a Glock 43 and was surprised at how much I liked it. Great video, and great choices.
P225 was and is my favourite CCW. It's light, and compact. For self defense, I don't need double stacked P226, but carry a spare magazine.
LOVE my my LC9S w/ safety... I train to pull from pocket holster, align and thumb swipe w/ one in the Pipe!!!
So happy to see the Beretta Nano. It's one of my favorite and gets no love. What about the XDS? A little heavy for a single stack but such an accurate gun. Also one of my favorites. Great review as always !!! You do an awesome job !!!
Fantastic video, thank you!
Thank you
A superb review as you often do, many, many thanks! I have the Walther PPS M2 and fully endorse your comments. I would add it has remarkably little recoil and the great trigger means an avareage marksman like me an do much better with this pistol, even at 15 m.
Red Coat i also bought the PPS M2.Looked long and hard at the M&P sheild and the Glock 43.All are good choices
Red Coat I myself agree with Walther but I have the CCP and I love it. By far my favorite one.
The PPS M2 is the only single stack 9 I have ever thought about replacing my Shield. Great weapon!
Love your channel
I like my Ruger LC9S Pro very much and is my EDC. Got the Gold Cerakoted version.
I waited a long time for Ruger to redo the trigger on the Lc9. Now it's the Lc9s 9mm pro. No Safety. Under $300. Bought a Houge Hardball slip on grip and a 9 rd extended mag. I am set. Put the Lc9s 9mm in my Sig 239 holster. It work' s for me! Won't even look at another CCW weapon to carry. The only thing I regret is the blued slide. Can you buy a different slide to put on it or can I recote this blued slide? SHAWN
ruger is trash
@@stoplossM4 Its all about personal opinion. Doesn't mean its trash for someone else
Ruger makes very good guns for lower price tag. The lc9s is very good. The trigger is very light and smooth! I just dont like the design. Does not look appealing or cool.
Mine is the Shield 9. Great video.
Nice video. I do agree with your selection of top single stack 9's. I have a Taurus PT 709, which is my EDC. I don't consider it in the class of your list, but still has functioned flawlessly for a budget gun. Might look into the Shield or Kahr in future. Thanks.
i watched this video many times - i just thumbs-up'ed it. i found it very useful - the most useful in making my decision on which to buy. the chart of comparison info at the end was excellent! i ended-up buying the ruger LC9sPro and i'm glad i did. i haven't had it very long, but i think it's a 2-thumbs-up deal for me for carry permanently? i wanted light, thin, small, dependable with 8 rnds of 9mm. if it's not comfortable i won't carry it. it will end up being left at home. that's why i bought the ruger. i do believe i'll carry it everyday. no good left at home. it came down to the shield9 or the LC9sPro. i chose the ruger because it's a little bit lighter. i like both guns though. 8 rounds in the ruger package ain't bad to me. i'm glad they're making these size guns now - changes everything for me. you're kind - thank you for your work and sharing (your video). it is excellent!
For what it's worth, I have owned and shot each of these over the past several years, trading/selling most of them in that time, and my EDC is the PPS M2.
Nice list Justin! I would add the Sig P938, Kimber Micro 9, Springfield XDS, and Kahr MK9 to that list. The HK P7 is an oldie but a goodie! But even with all those my go to the most is the Glock 43 as well.
Although I don't have any experience with it, I understand that the Bersa BP9CC is an amazing shooter with a sweet trigger.
I like the option you have on the table for conceal carry, awesome videos.
I own the Ruger Ec9s. Accurate, reliable and conceals comfortably well. I added a hogue grip sleeve, 2 magguts kits for 2 magazines making them 8+1, and glow on sight paint on the sights. This gives you a comfortable grip, more rounds and the capability to shoot at night if you "charge" your sights with a flashlight. Greatly enhances the effectiveness and versatility of this firearm. Paired with underwood extreme defender ammunition and a clinger comfort cling holster it is a very capable combination for self defense.
Eagle fan.....oh boy "Go Big Blue". You did a terrific job on this video. Thanks for all the info and hard work
Plus 1 on the PPS M1 for hot weather light clothing carry.
Great review. My summer carry is a Shield 2.0 in 45. And my winter carry is a Glock 23.
Good list. I have three of these.
I agree the rugers trigger is too light. That us why I ditched my lcpii.
great vid'
very informative.
thank you for sharing
Xds owner here :) heavy... But I love it. Raptor scales
Xds is very snappy. I had one and sold for the same reason. Sig p365 is way better. Hellcat is still snappy. Lol. Thats why i bought p365 last week.
I would love a PPS and XDS with a thumb Safety. I’m an old guy and like a thumb safety- hence my Shield and XDE.
I have 2 on your list. Glock 43 & Ruger LC9S. Both are great guns, and very reliable. Never had a problem with either. I seem to shoot the Ruger better, and it’s lighter with an extra round in the flush mag. I carry both, but tend to carry the LC9S more.
i absolutely love my p225 carry it every day
I know this is an older video but I just bought a P225 today, specifically to add to my CC options. (enjoyed your 225 videos, Thanks!) I prefer single stack pistols, as they just feel better in my hands. I'm a big guy, cursed with big hands but stubby fingers lol
I put both the 225 and 229 in my hands, one after the other, several times today and the 225 just felt like and old friend.
My other two carry options are a Kimber Eclipse Pro Cary II (which is a fantastic pistol) and a Kahr MK9. The Kahr MKII is also fantastic. It's tiny and solid stainless but only 6+1, (7+1 with the extended Mag) yet comes in weighing 26oz. The recoil is so manageable and it carries so well. It's very accurate, so I'm betting on hitting my target vs having to take 15 shots. The mags are so small that it's easy to stash two of them.
The 225, for me, is going to be the perfect middle ground. A couple extra rounds, reliable and accurate (hope my copy is too =) )
Great comparison, well done!
Thanks!
Great video Happy New Year
Hogue jr grip sleeve $8 , takes care of that thin feeling on the lc9s, great upgrade.
Man, I put one on my LC9S pro. Because the grip was a little to thin for my bigger hands and fingers. It's perfect now. No Safety either. When, I'm a shoot out don't want to waste time . Just point and shoot till it goes click. Shawn
The P225 is such a nice pistol. I believe it should be the pistol James Bond should actually be using lol. Feels great in the hands, great trigger. I don't own one yet but I will one day. All of the other pistols for the most part will serve just fine in a CCW role. Thx for your time and great vids as always.
Bond is a dedicated Walther man.
I'm totally digging my Shield in 9mm!
Same here. It surprised the Hell out of me.
Shield 40 here. Amazing gun. very slim, 7+1, accurate, dependable...what more can you want?
Clay Tidwell a good trigger lol
Shield or Glock 26 , i'm torn ...............Glock has a ton of mag options !! UGH I am also looking at the M&P 2.0 compact 9mm, seems sweet !1
Jay B the 2.0 "compact" is glock 19 size nothing compact about it good luck with your choice
EXCELLENT, Excellent video my friend! Always love to watch these types of vids...
Thanks much!
I currently have the XDs. Love it. 7.5 lb trigger pull. 22.5 oz. I'm looking into the shield, 43, PPS, and the Kahrs for other options to go with it.
I noticed they have that giant Honor Guard badge on the slide so people want mistake it for the gun that they copy which is the M&P Shield
Thanks for the great videos. Very insightful. I just came to own an P225 manufactured in 1982. It's practically new and came with original box. Having seen your video, I'm very excited to shoot it.
That's a great find! Hope you enjoy it!
Justin, there's a recent addition to this category I'd like to see a thorough review on. The Naroh Arms N1. It's a chassis-based 9mm 7-round single-stack DAO internal hammer pistol with supposedly just a hair over 6 lbs. trigger. It has a rail for light accessories. It's a Florida-based company.
I just want a full-size 1911 on my hip. ...O.C. .....such a fine pistol.
Even a good old Colt 45 Cowboy revolver would be so much fun to carry at times.
Americana all the way.
Carry what you like
I'm fat and in SC u have to concealed carry so yeh....maybe in the winter under a jacket....but I do like them
I'm carrying the Beretta nano love it I've been carrying for it for about 6 months
I’m three years late, but this was still informative. ‘Preciate it.
Also, I’m a big respecter of puns and dad jokes, so I’ve gotta give props on your channel name.
looks like JO is gonna have to do another one of these vids to see where the sig p365 stands. I'm still sold on my shield but one of those little sig 365's is sure to come soon
I got the 43X but after a few months I returned too my stock G43 which is just easier to conceal. I just carry a extra 8 Rd mag.. Like to see a review on sub compact double stacks which seem to get little of the spotlight these days but I mostly carry a gen3 G27 9rd 40cal because it's the first carry gun I bought but after years still is my favorite.
Great review. Although wish the kel tec pf9 was on the list i think you covered them well. To each is own. Me... shield 9 or 43. I carry my shield and sold my glock. I miss it but not enough
This will be a great review for new or old shooters looking for an in bias review on a cc gun.
I wish the pps M2 kept the paddle mag release and it’d be PERFECT!! I love my pps M2.
Another great video, as per usual. I think the CW9 would have been right at home in this group, size of the shield with around 17 oz. No complaints though, I'm sure this list could have been several dozens. Thanks!
Grey
Those of us with short fingers appreciate the trigger reach numbers.
My EDC is the Sig P225A1, just an awesome pistol
Lc9s pro does have an insane trigger but it is pretty long and has a longer reset. Like you said, just train with it often
Thank you for video! I skipped the Glock, after they put out the 380. I think it was a bit of cheap marketing, since they would have lost money on it had the 43 been released first. I carry the Shield performance center and and a P239. My son has my Nano. pet Kuno for me!
Yup love my shield.
Thanks for putting all this together. Your Nano weight no. should be 17oz though. Noticed the modularity wasn't mentioned on it either for those who want to know.
I think the PPS is way better pistol than the G43, i love glocks but sometimes you have to admit that there are better guns than glock!!
Milton Bernal totally agreed
The PPS is a great buy and a great pistol. I chose the 43 for deep concealment in a Smart Carry. Here the 43 wins on weight. By a large margin.
Just heavier
Really wish Ruger would bring back the LCP9 Pro or an updated version. Not into the EC9s.
Great review. But what about the P239? My fave single stack 9--and it's what the P225-A1 is based on, mechanically. Also, I'm pretty sure Kahr offers a manual safety on the Mass compliant version of the PM9. Or at least they did.
great!
I understand your pick. For me I feel like Glock comes in 2nd every subjective category. That's why it's my go to also. I feel like every other one I've tried beats it in one category, but loses in all the others
Great list! Love these --- being from CA my options are limited by I do enjoy all of my M&P pistols including the shield. Also a big Walther fanboy and ended up grabbing a PPQ M2 5" a few years back... your reviews likely had something to do with it ;)
Thanks!
Love my XDS 9MM! Super easy-going to shoot. Built like a tank and I love that.
if I had to choose a gun from this list it would be the P225. my second choice would be the walther pps.
Glock 43X is my EDC, and absolutely the most comfortable single stack 9mm I’ve shot.
Sig 225 is my favorite. Beefy enough for my hands. The others are so tiny.
SIG's are tanks! I had a Sig in the 239 9mm. Loved that gun. Had to sell it a long time ago! Needed the money. Since the then XDS compact in 9mm. 13 and 16 rd mags. The case was really cool. Bought 18 rd mags for the range. Sold it for the money. Now I have a Ruger Lc9s 9mm pro. I will never sell it ever. I finally got the gun. I have always wanted. This is it. Maybe I will buy Ec9s. There cheaper you know. Shawn
Took my new kahr k9 to therange today, 20 rounds in, the ejector assembly flew out of the slide and hit my hand, severely bruising it. This explained the fail to eject/ stovepipes the first trip. Sent back for warranty repair. Will update as events progress.
My fav is a Kahr MK9
The PPS M2 is an amazing pistol.
johnroosterrod65@gmail.com Warmachine_13, I'd rather have the PPS M1, but it's not new any more. Either way though, it is flawless! Semper Fidelis
Warmachine_13 Just got one for my wife and one LE for me as a carry. I also have a PPQ M2. Love it.
I like the sight on the pps m2 I can line up and quick and shoot accurate
I've heard nothing but great things about walther pps m2, highly recommend it.
Sounds like you dont have one, but are recommending it. I have one and it's great. Best of this list for sure. I love glocks but you couldnt give me a 43. Does nothing for me
I have a pps m1 in .40 and it’s a great gun!
I thought I remembered a video in which, after comparing the Shield and the PPS M2, you indicated you preferred the M2 (but maybe I'm mistaken on that). I thought it funny, then, that you'd chosen the M2, agreed the Shield was tops (see your response to Seth Clayburn in thread below [or above depending on your settings]) and admitted to most often carrying the G43. lol
Justin deserves way more subs...
I didn’t know the story on the M&P shield trigger... maybe I’ll look into that.
thank you for mentioning trigger reach
Yep, a very important and usually overlooked number.
it's all about the Glock 26, the browning High power, and the M-9 Berreta and the Sig P226R also i would add the Glock 19 as well... u can stop shopping now . those are some of the best 9mm pistols money can buy. you will be well served with any of those.
I really like my P225 A-1.
I'd take the Ruger first for several reasons. Track record, price, trigger, reliability, accuracy etc. Then Glock 43, S&W Shield, Walther PPS.
Jeremiah P ruger lc9s is a great gun. I just dont like the design! Not appealing. Lol
@@troytruong8246 Yeah, the LC9s grip is too thin.
I *yelled, I *screamed, and I left a comment here too xD cheers!
The only thing bothering me about the P225 & P239 is that the Sphinx SDP subcompact is the same witdth and size but holds 13rds given its doublestack.
I own the LC9s, PPS M2 and a 2.0 Shield. Best overall I'd have to give to the S&W, but the Walther is the most accurate in my experience. The LC9s is good, but the most snappy of the three. The Glock 43 I pasted on, just didn't like the grip feel.
I own the M&P shield and Ruger EC9s. The EC9s fits in the pocket.My Glock stays home.
EC9 is awesome
Like the P225 but prefer the P239 a hair smaller but more contoured.
Yeah I stated why he used this bigger gun , when the 239 is a perfect single stack though the size of a Glock 19 , still thinner I think !!
You can get the 239 in .357 Sig a great round. High dollar ammo and hard to find. It changes the 239 into a magnum gun. Shawn
A couple things, first doesn't the non pro lc9s with the safety also so have a mag disconnect? I believe the pro model is the exact same gun without those two unnecessary (my opinion) safeties. Second, glock in 9mm is just hard to beat in any size it seems. They are all legendary with cult like followings. The g26, g19, g17, g34, g17L and now the g43. And for good reason, they work and work well. I've been resisting a g43 and g19 for a long time, I think I've reached the breaking point lol
Occasionally, in between purchases of the the latest greatest concealable 9mms, I'll think "I love these nice flat, lightweight, single stack 9mms with great ergos and bead blasted slide tops and solid sights". Then I dig down to the 45yr strata layer in the gunsafe and see my S&W M39 and realize the more things change.....
Any thoughts on the P290rs? As a Sig fan I'd have thought it may have ended up on the review table..or is the DAO just not of interest?
I knew you wouldn't include the XDs. Glock fans often times don't like the XDs. Love mine. The initial problem I had with mine, jamming when I put a +1 in, seemed to correct itself after 5 or 6 mags worth. The subsequent 40 or so magazines I've added +1 to haven't had an issue. My buddies G42 didn't stop randomly jamming till about 200 rounds in. I always laugh when I hear "Glock Perfection".
I'm not really very biased one way or another. I don't currently have an XDS in 9mm, which was the main reason for not including it, as well as limited range time with it compared to the others.
Fair enough and fine list.
Since you included p225, I would include tisas 1911 9mm. Thinner, 9 rounds.
*Me personally as fairly a beginner I’d take a snub before I take a single stack*
Great review! Okay, serious ramble mode, on. :-)
I'm somewhat of a collector recently and have 4 of the more popular single stack 9mm pistols -- Glock 43, Performance Center Shield, Walther PPS M2 and the Springfield Armory XDs 2-tone. I've had all of them for a while now, but so far have only fired the Glock 43. From a few of the videos I've seen on YT I expected it to be pretty snappy, but I was wrong. Perhaps I was expecting something more like the feel of my Sig Sauer P232 stainless (think sexier version of the Walther PPK in .380 auto -- I have both). With the fixed barrel on the Sig that little sucker has pretty snappy kick behind it. I need to get my butt to the range with my other single stacks and do a comparison. I shoot the G43 very well, and I've heard pistols like the Shield and PPS shoot just as well, if not better with less recoil, so I'm really curious to see how the run. From a first impression standpoint of ergonomics, fit & finish/build quality, I'd rank them in the following order. Walther, XDs, Glock and then the Shield. My PC Shield is the best looking of the bunch with the ported barrel and slide and it has a much better trigger than the regular shield. However, I still haven't fired it. I have to say, the Sig 225 in the beginning of the video looks like a SWEET pistol! Even though I'm heavy into striker-fired single stacks and larger pistols, I do like hammer fired DA/SA pistols like my old P232. I much prefer the decocker on the Sig over a safety. I'm surprised I have never heard of it! I must say, I'm very interested in getting one. Actually, thanks to many of your videos, I've made several selections based on your excellent videos, so thank you!! One in particular was the Smith-Wesson Performance Center C.O.R.E. 9L ported (and yes it is a mouthful). You are in the very top tier of the YT gun reviewers, so please, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the nice comment.
No Sig Sauer p225a1? I like this handgun, because it carries 8+1 rounds for a single stack. It's a double action / single action with the double being hard enough to not accidentally press, yet smooth when purposefully pressing and then single action after that. It's compact enough to put in my owb or iwb holsters without disturbing me much. Every gun no matter what gun, will be felt by the carrier, but with the p225a1, it just feels right for me. It is also heavy enough so that the recoil is easily manageable. This gun is pure gold when it comes to what you want in a ccw.
You picked the wrong Sig, the Sig P239 gen 2 was designed for CC. Has the Short Reset Trigger, Sig night sights and the best trigger out of all my handguns. Better than my 226...
you havent shot the sao legion 226, there is not comparison
Mike Gardner I've heard good things about the Legion model. I've got a Tac Ops 226 and with the 20 round mags it's the handgun I keep very close at home. The 239 gen 2 is just one heck of a compact pistol. I'd really like to add a Mk 6 to my tiny collection, but I can't get past the price.
I have a ec9s and like it i have shot lc9s and it has better sites then the ec9s ..both have exturnal safety which i like . The dealer had ec9s on the shelf att the time and for a carry gun i think fixed sights are better .the lc9s pro is more for range time
The m&p is the best shooter feels great and well worth the price more then any other of these guns
M&Ps are sweet - no doubt about it!
i looked through all of your videos - very nice ones. i was looking for a video just like this one, but one on .380's... maybe one on top compact .380's ????? i'll watch and see if you ever do one on the subject. very good comparison chart at end of this video - very helpful and best one i've ever seen, too! thanks again
Martina - thanks for the nice words. I haven't really done a lot with .380s and I agree that I should. I appreciate the comment and hope you'll subscribe and tune in from time to time. I'll see what I can do about that suggestion.
thx4 reply: friend's mom was robbed in parking lot at local wal-mart at sun-up in our small town at gun point in her car. lots other crimes happening here too.... old ladies and females are a target. i had CHL since they started in my state (TX) many years, but haven't been carrying because tired of my carry guns too big/heavy. i used your video to make my final selection on which subcompact 9mm to buy. thus buying the LC9s Pro and i do love carrying that gun (easy to carry). haven't had the LC9s Pro long at all - just bought it. i'm compromising by buying smaller subcompact guns that i won't leave at home and will carry everyday. i never really liked .380's, but now i want one of those too for summer, when dressed-up and as another small gun as another option in addition to having the LC9s Pro as an option. i have good big cal home guns like Sigs, colts, S&W's. it's too hard for me to carry a dbl-stack SIG or a colt 1911. i carried a s&w mod#36 5-shot 38spec, but no capacity and not flat and thin. i carried a SS Taurus snub 5-shot .357MAG ...... same deal but even heavier. i weighed my LC9s Pro because it matters... the LC9s Pro, 1 in chamber, 7 in mag and inside of my leather w/metal clip IWB holster the whole rig weighs only 23.69OZ. (1-1/2 pounds and flat and thin). plus i carry another loaded mag in the weak-side hand pocket ... it weighs 5.26OZ. weight/size/capacity matters... i'm small. i want a pocket subcompact .380 to pocket carry when it's hot or i'm dressed-up or when i want to carry something else other than the LC9s Pro. before seeing your 9mm subcompact comparison video i had already looked at all of those guns separately in gun stores, but having the video and chart at end really helped. maybe one day you might do the .380 carry subcompact video! if so, i sure would like that. i subscribed and thx! martina
well, i decided on the ruger LCP-II .380 . here's what happened: i watched some videos and looked at the ones at the guns store (many times). i got on a local gun trader website and replied to an ad where a man wanted to trade a brand new and unfired LCP-II with some cash for a guitar. i told him what i had to trade, he came and looked at it and we did the deal. he had the original receipt for the gun where he bought it new. we did an ID bill of of sale and we both have CHL's. we're both happy with the deal and it was earnest for both of us. he bought the gun for his wife and she didn't like it and she wouldn't carry it. i got it new in box with everything it comes with. the man was nice. he was a retired army sgt. living locally. nice pleasant transaction! i'm stoked on the gun! i like it as another carry option even though i'm a bit reluctant on going lower than a 9mm. i like it a lot though and i like it's features too. super easy to carry. i also bought a IWB leather holster for it to free-up my pocket. cool when things work-out that way! i hadn't played that guitar in years!
your vids are excellent! there's substantial information in them. very substantial information. they are excellent, IMO! recently from watching your P320 video i learned about that slide-lock part that sometimes has to be changed-out. that's important information and a very good look at it as well. that's of great value to me and i thank you!
My G43 trigger pulls at 5.75 pounds.No aftermarket connector or springs. I wonder why yours is so heavy. Maybe they changed the trigger connector on mine. Mine is a talo edition with the proglo sights. But I didn't see that advertised, just the sights.
Hi how are u doing? I watch and Thank everyone for taking the time out to vive us the viewer opinions and facts about their knowledge of guns however one aspect that I have noticed that is overlooked is the economy. Not everyone can purchase such guns as a Beretta which is costly unless yo u have a surplus warehouse nearby. Of course everyone Loves a quality gun with beautiful detailing and all but we just cannot afford them. How about starting by mentioning a good pistol for about 300 to 400 dollars then work your way Up. I saw a video where 9mm handguns were reviewed that were Buffet and I was just stunned. I could not believe such guns existes that are mame brand such as Remington. I know the Walther is one of the best handguns e ver made without question but honestly I cannot afford a new or May be e ven a used one.
Jose Diaz
Love my Kel-Tec PF9
Paid $200 new at a gun show with a pocket holster included. Had it 6 months in my pocket every day. Got a little dusty, but fired all 8 rounds flawlessly. Overall I have put 100 FMJ rounds and 20 Hornaday critical duty’s through it with zero malfunctions.
all of the numbers look so good for the PM9 when looking at the chart.
then you see it's capacity. then for me that low capacity rules it out.
i want a flush fit 7 round magazine and that leaves 2 remaining guns
to choose from to buy... the shield and the LC9sPro. i prefer no safety.
i've never like s&w autos, but i like the shield9 and i've always liked
ruger's. so the LC9sPro & the Shield .... one of those 2 i'm going to
buy and i don't know which one yet?
there was another one i considered in the past and i decided against it.
it's had many reported problems. it's the kel-tech PF-9. it's light, has
7 round magazine and is small and thin. too many bad reviews i see about
it and i need quality and dependability. i can't chance buying a gun i
can't stake my life on. i trust ruger and i trust the Shield9 (s&w). too
bad that the PF-9 has so many bad reports. it was priced right, but maybe
that's why (bad reports)? i personally have no experience with kel-tech.
really i wish there were an option of a quality gun that was the size,
weight, capacity, and thinness of the kel-tech or ruger in 9mm that was
a single action. one that i could pocket carry w/o a holster, leave in
half cocked position with the safety off and cock it manually using only
one hand if it were ever drawn. one that were affordable. the sig P938
is about that, but it's too expensive for me. i don't want to spend that
much money and i don't want to drop down to a .380 .
i have a small revolver. a s&w model 36. a dang nice good quality gun,
but it's low capacity (5-shots). it's a 38 special. i want something
with more capacity in a 9mm and i want it small and thin and not too
expensive.
the ruger or the shield. one of those 2 for me maybe? maybe if i bought
one of those 2 and a good quality single clip-on leather molded IWB holster
that had a real good trigger guard on it? maybe sometimes i could pocket
carry it in that same holster, too? maybe one with real good retention and
a real good trigger guard that completely covered the entire trigger?
i picked-up both the LC9sPro & the shield9 at the store. both felt good
to me. i think i could carry either one of them and i liked them both.
most likely i'll probably buy the ruger, but i wish i had the choice of
a very similar, but single-action gun in 9mm that was hammer fired with
a light hammer pull where i could leave it chambered and on 1/2-cock
instead of having a DAO striker fired firing control. i think somebody
needs to make that. i would prefer to carry that.
thanks for your nice video and all information. i liked the video!
Sig P365 is apparently a masterpiece.. Anybody tried it?(a single stack and ½ though)
