Second the PPS m2 suggestion. If you put a 7 or 8 round mag in it, you gain the place for your pinky! Oh, and the takedown is very glock-like.

Takedown is my only complaint about my sig 290. Kind of a pain but at least it's not something I do daily. It just has a pretty small pin that you have to punch out with something like a pen or cuff key.

Favorable? You're welcome to shoot mine at the Dottrio event if you don't scratch this itch before then. Note, there is a PPQ M2 and a PPS M2, so some folks might miss what you're referring to.

If you can't find an IP that has them in stock, www.gunbuyer.com usually has very competitive prices for Walthers.

$379 on gunbuyer. If I can find a cheap FFL it could be a steal.

I know this has been covered but a search hasn't produced anything.

My Utah permit is coming and just in case I'm in one of the states I'm allowed to carry I better get a carry pistol.

I'm looking for a sub-$1000 9mm carry pistol you can wear with a t-shirt and khakis for a 5'9" 160lbs person.

I have tested a bunch but nothing really struck my fancy. I like the Kimber Micro9 and Wilson Combat but really, the prices are out there. Won't do Glock.

What do you recommend?

Springfield xds 9mm 3.3

Gunrunners in Frederick is usually $50 for handguns, and if you ever become a member of Monocacy Pistol Club, significantly less. Give them a courtesy call ahead of time if you plan order something to be delivered there. Gunbuyer should already have them as an approved FFL (as I've purchased through Gunbuyer and used Gunrunners as my FFL in the past).

There are a ton of choices. My top recommendations are the M&P Shield, Glock 43 and the Ruger LC9 Pro. Glock being the lightest of these 3, and the most customizable, the Ruger for the best out of the box trigger and the best all around, Shield. My wife carries a Performance Center Shield. I carry the Glock. Though, to compete with the PCS, I had to add night sights and a Ghost connector to smooth and lighten the trigger. There are several other single stack 9mm iterations, I've just had experience with these three. Here's a good article from Guns and Ammo, to help you decide for yourself.http://www.gunsandammo.com/handguns/compacts/single-stack-9mm-shootout/

Hmmm... I like a nice heavy first stage double action trigger for a carry gun.

SIG P230/232, SIG P239, or an Hk4.

 

[pilot25]

Tested out a few today. MP Shield was probably the best. I liked the PPS M2 but it was a little bulky. Sig P290 is in the running and I hate to say it but the one Glock I tried was nice too.

Sure. If he didn't specifically state he won't do Glock.

Lots of us said we would never do fat chicks, but...

so no testing of the Springfield if you do try it with finger ext. for the mag if possible

 

[pilot25]

They didn't have one available for testing. Someone was using it. I'll have to go back.

I think its worth a try love mine but like it better with mag ext.

I personally use a Sig P320 Carry, you can get the smaller sizes as well. but I also use a Taurus PT709 Slim, you cant see the damn thing with a IWB holster and a polo shirt.

I have never said that

 

[Fox123]

Sig p239? Though a little heavy.

 

[Pablopac]

Look at and shsoot a Springfield XDS and the XD Mod 2. XDS is single stack and Mod 2 is double stack. 3.3 inch barrels, available in 9, 40 45. I love mine!

Which federal agency carries the 226?
I know of several who carry the 229. And one agency in particular who concealed carry is very important.

I wonder which one?????????
