NYCA,

question: For purposes of size comparison only, are you looking for something SMALLER, same size or BIGGER than a Glock model 19?

I'd say right about that size

6-7" long 4.75-5.5" tall


That helps some. In addition, Bapple's made a good point w/ the question of double wide mag vs. single wide guns.

I'd consider looking at the following guns.
single wide (some of these may be smaller than you want):
Kahr CM9/PM/CW9
Bersa BP 9cc
S&W Shield
Kimber Solo
Beretta Nano
?Springfield XDs 9 when available

double wide:
Ruger SR9
XD compact or service
I'm sure there are some Sigs in this category as well, but I'm just not very up to date w/ the current Sig line up.
ETA: S&W M&P series

As far as the Beretta PX series, I'm sure they're fine guns, but my preference is NOT a DA/SA trigger like theirs.

Look at single stack 9's for concealed carry. I can't stand wearing pants two sizes larger just to carry a full sized gun. I'm also chasing 3 kids around most days, so I get the shirt clumped up over my arse every time I bend over to pick one up while carrying my full size. I have much more mobility when carrying the smaller guns.

Thanks all, it gives me a starting point to work with and see what fits me best. Reason I asked on the px4 was because of great deal on a used one.
