Need 9mm CCW opinions

[tomthebaker]

Star BM is heavy, cheap, 9mm, single stack, BUT, not +p rated.

3913, the most underrated CCW single-stack 9MM pistol on the market. You'll be hard pressed to find a better one.


hard pressed is true,they dont even make the 3913 anymore do they???

This is probably the advice I'm going with, the problem is going to be tracking one down.

4 of them on GunBroker, right now...

They're not that hard to find and definitely worth picking up used if the price and condition are right. Mine looked rough when I got it, but an inspection of the internals revealed that it was very solid and the issues were cosmetic. A trip to olyeller took care of that and now I have a fantastic carry gun for a great price.

Another vote for the 3913!

I really like my little Colt Pocket 9...

The M&P 9mmc is the same size as most single stacks... I am a girl with little hands and it fits great. Also, it does not have much recoil compared to some others. You really should give it a try!

I have big hands and I like the way the M&P9c feels. I like how I can get my pinky on the grip despite it being a small gun.

What is your life worth? Wife got an EMP and the match grade barrel really make a big differance. I agree on some training. At my CCW class, they showed me a differant grip, and it has made a world of differance. I was going to carry .40S&W, but stepped up to .45. If you have'nt taken your class yet, check out CarryLegal.(they are one of the affiliates with a link on the home page). Read the testimonials on their website. The instructors are also instructors at TDSA. If you have taken your class, they offer an Intermidiate CCW clas for $149 for a 10 hour course. I'm taking this class next Sat. I think most CCW holders just get their permit and don't take any real training to learn better skills and improve accuracy since CCW class is a gun safety course. Proper stance and trigger control are the keys to accuracy.

The Ruger SR9c comes with a pinky grip on the 10 round mag. I have big hands and it makes it feel like a full size grip.

This right here. I carry one and love it. Great range plinker, too.
