I have been looking at all the single-stack 9mms out there, trying to decide on one. They are very popular now and are hard to find.

My PPS has 7 or 8 round 9mm magazines. I would like a 9mm weapon that doesn't print with larger capacity. Still looking.

Ruger SR9C and the FNH FNS 9C are easily concealed I carry my Ruger is my EDC at the moment I am waiting on my holster for my FNH FNS 40C which is the same size as the 9MM

I carry a springfield XDM with a 13 round clip and when warranted I carry my 19 round extenda clip on my mag holder.  I have a 3.8 compact and now that it's getting warmer I worry a bit about printing, but you are right, pretty much everyone is clueless anyway.

I'd probably get another "old school" Springfield XD-9 sub-compact. Not the -M, not the -S. Just the plain "classic" XD. Why? Because they're ergonomically friendly to my hands, conceal well and comfortably, and I already have one, and my wife has one. Stick with what you know, right?

When I CC in PA, I use my XD-9 sub-compact, and carry a 16-round spare mag.

How does your wife like the XD?  Thinking on getting one for my wife, she has small hands and can't handle my XDM.

I already have the SR9c and it conceals well for me in colder months. I usually use my M&P Bodyguard as EDC in summertime.
The Ruger prints a bit for how I like to carry in summer. I also have a P-64 and it conceals nicely, but it's a bit heavy.

I currently carry a glock 36 in alien gear IWB which is very comfortable.  I have an LCP for when I need a discreet pocket carry. 

Not sure I need any other CC guns but I'd be interested in giving a Sig 239 a go because inline that manual of arms.  I already have a 238 but it's a range queen and I am not a fan of carrying locked and cocked with a single action trigger.

My EDC varies between my G19,G26 and G43. I also have a G42 for pocket or ankle  carry when needed. Yes with the proper ammo the 9mm is good enough for me.
Title: Re: Your NEXT CC handgun, what would it be?
Post by: Adrenolin on May 03, 2016, 06:48:50 AM
Agreed on full size handguns! Classic Walther PPQ 9mm 15+1 carried daily and people simply do not notice regardless of what you're wearing. If I want something a bit smaller its the Classic PPS in 9mm 6+1 and an 8rnd spare. My preference in a revolver in the stainless Ruger SP101 2.25" barrel with bobbed hammer chambered in 38spl, 357mag and 9mm.  ;D

I'd have to say if I actually wanted to order another it would have to be another Classic PPS in 9mm.
Title: Re: Your NEXT CC handgun, what would it be?

Likely an M&P Shield 9mm - with the safety.  It seems like the striker-fired descendant of my CS-9.

Post by: Lumspond on May 06, 2016, 10:06:53 PM
I'm usually happy with a single stack 9 mm.
Prefer an H&K (USP compact, P30SK, P2000SK)
or a Sig Sauer (P225, P239)
or a Glock (G43)
or a S&W wheel gun (xxxxx)

Now I'm thinking a .357 wouldn't be bad.....

I've been thinking of adding a Beretta Nano (9mm) to the stable mostly for summer carry. The Nano is a single stack with two mags (6 rnd and 8 rnd) The 6 round mag is flush-fit and the 8 round provides the pinky extension. A little smaller and lighter than the SCCY CPX-2 I've been carrying which is a double stack 10 rounder. Add in a Sneaky-Pete pouch type holster. I personally don't find IWB holsters comfortable, so my box full of holsters is all OWB.

Been thinking about this for a while, looked at a lot of pistols I don't own and like Radnor said my NEXT gun.
I want a Walther PPQ M2 45ACP.

I like the PPS I own, great 9mm and accurate. I want a 45acp next and Walther is well made. Like the 12 rounds that you don't get in 1911's.

If you want to see one, I'm sure there will be one at action pistol tonight.  Maybe even two.

Or you could reach out to Federal Firearms see if he still has one in stock.  Great person
to sit down and talk with.  And a great FFL too!

When I get the slide back (night sights being installed) may post a pic.

Nice looking handgun. I looked online at a FN FNX-45 (night sights) priced at 1200.00 :o Then the FNH FNX-45 at around 700.00 8) This was at Buds, I use that site and Gander Mountain for reference, and it described the manufacture as "owned by the regional government of Wallonia". Reminds me of the Grand Budapest Hotel. I like a pistol with a hammer - single/double action pistol with a de-cocker safety. I own a Px4 with those features and love it. It is the easiest to field strip of any handgun I own and wonder how the FN operates. It's not a deal breaker, just wondering. Looks similar looking at the "button" in front of the trigger pin. Looks like a really nice shooting pistol. Top shelf.

At AP there were 3 FNX(s) there.  Ambi everything on them too so if you had to shoot weak hand only.

Monday night 5/16 at AP there will be at least 1 there for you to see.  If you come out bring your firearm
and 70 rounds.  We're shooting the FBI qual course.

The $1200 one has high night sights and threaded barrel for a can.  I've been getting night sights installed
on mine.  Last one goes in today for them.

OK Todd, it took 4 pages to get you into your sales pitch, but I knew what was coming.   I tried one on for size and am not sure, fingers don't go all the way out.  A double stack is bit large!!  As you know, I am an old 1911 fan, but carry a S&W 642 in .38+P.  It is small, light, easily concealed, and has an excellent trigger out of the box.  And yes I know....it only has 5 rnds.  There are always trade offs.
