so many great single-stack 9s!

[YukonGlocker]

When I first started carrying a handgun, there were virtually no small single-stack 9mm pistols. The S&W 3913 was one of the only options I could find; but I had a bad experience with another 3rd gen S&W so that was out of the question. And now, thankfully, we have so many great options! From memory, here are a few...and I know I'm forgetting some.

• Kahr has several, with the PM9 being one of my favorites
• S&W M&P Shield
• Glock 43
• Walther PPS
• Springfield Armory XD-S
• Ruger LC9
• Keltec PF-9
• Several single actions (e.g., by Sig, Kimber, Springfield Armory, etc.)

Do we have too many great choices to have a favorite? Do you have a favorite, and why?

The PM9 was my carry gun for a long time and was replaced last year by a Glock 43. I carry appendix in a Keepers Errand holster and it's the perfect combo for me.

I would personally go with the G43. And one day Ill have one.

I carry a Ruger LC9s Pro. It is small, accurate, easy to conceal. Worth a look for sure.

Glock 43 with a Ghost Edge Connector and a fiber optic front sight. Carried in an RM Holsters "Lowrider" or OWB in a simple pancake by Tueller Holsters. I loves me some 1911 goodness, yessiree I sure do, but I equally loves me this little Glock 43 el mucho.

I went with an XDS; really like the fiber optic front sight. Shoots great, totally reliable etc. I'd guess all the ones listed do the same (it is a good time to get into the CCW world).

But I was really really close to getting a PPS. Call me shallow, but the PPS is better looking to my eye. They're damn near exactly the same size, and I slightly preferred the XDS trigger. Plus, the XDS was cheaper and Springfield was running one of their free giveaway promos where I got extended mags and a nice little range bag for free. That sealed the deal.

Of course, then I bought and carry daily a Sig P229, so I obviously went full stoopid.

The wife and I like the P290RS Sig 9mm .

I got a Walther PPS in 2009. When I take it to the range for practice it's very comfortable to shoot. Bullets go where I intend them to go. I love the paddle mag release. I can't think of any reason to replace it.

I'm a "1911 guy" so I'd lean towards a P938 or EMP.

Kahr CW9 for me. Been considering the M&P shield.
