Small 9mm carry pistol
Who makes a good small 9mm pistol with 7 plus capacity?
Members that have one post the pros and cons of what you have or what you would purchase.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
The smallest 9mm carry you can own is a Kahr pm9, which I have. I like it. I used to own a GLOCK 26, but it was only a bit smaller than my GLOCK 23 and the handle was just as thick. The Kahr pm9 is very thin and solid. The other 9mm, which weighs slightly less than the Kahr, but is bigger, is the Kel-Tec PF-9. I would go for the Kahr, though.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
I have a Khar CW9. Gives a little more grip than the PM9. The price is around $400 new. You need to shoot about 200 rounds through it to smooth it out. The trigger is DA, but pulls smooth.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
I've never carried a Glock 19, but I like the way it shoots. I actually just returned home from H&H, I shot my new (to me) Kimber Pro Carry II, which I freakin' love. I carried IWB it a little around the house, and it was pretty comfortable.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
I carry the Kahr PM9 too when I need something super small and light weight. It's easy to tuck in a jacket pocket etc. I like shooting it. The handle is pretty short, but I don't have a problem with short handled autos.
Mines been dependable. The ones with serial numbers VDxxxxxx and up seem to have less problems from what I read on the glocktalk Kahr club forum.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
Kahr PM9. It is very small and light. Very reliable, accurate, and not bad to shoot at all. The trigger is nice, and it is a very good quality built gun.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
Hi Point 9mm...I've got one. Pros are it's small and carries 8 rounds, which is what you asked for. Cons are that it jams if you look at it funny. A look of terror can be viewed as a funny look, so it's probably not the best carry gun.  |

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
I have and carry the Kahr CW9. I have several thousand rounds through it now and have used it for IPSC since it's what I carry. I love it and could not ask for much more. The CW9 is the same frame as the P9 with less pretty stuff.
The PM9 is smaller but I like to have a full grip with no pinky dangle. That's just me.
For the money, I don't think you can go wrong with the Kahr's.
I have not fired the Walther PPS yet but I have handled one and found it similar in size to the CW9 / P9 and it felt very good in my hand. I would love to get one but it's still pretty new.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
Never shot one but handled one at a gun show. Seem to be very high quality but pricey.

Re: Small 9mm carry pistol
My brother has a rohrbaugh, he really likes it, but finding one can be sort of difficult. Not to mention pricey.
