You can't go wrong with a Ruger. I don't even consider Glocks. I hate those big boxy designs.

Haven't shot or held the Ruger.

But out of the other 3, I prefer the Sig. The Glock feels like I need to regrip after every shot. The Hellcat is fine, it just doesn't point as natural as the Sig for me.

Again, comes down to personal preference.

P365 w/the XL frame.


Add the 15 rd mag and it's the perfect size.

Springfield just released a 15 round mag for the hellcat earlier today.

I just ordered a Shield Plus, $469 with military pricing from Buds. As others have said, any of those are good choices, so find the one you shoot best.

A 43X with 15rd Shield Arms mags for it. The perfect combination of small frame and large capacity


This. Some folks don't like the ergonomics of Glocks, but this pistol in particular fits my hands like a glove. SO comfortable. Only change I would make to the recommendation is that I have the MOS variant for optics. I have plenty of the S15 mags and also bought a couple of the extensions, so can pack as many as 20 rounds in each. Can't beat it IMO.

Probably due to its relatively low capactiy.

Huge fan of the 365. Traded in a 43 for a second one. No experience with the others.

I'm one of them. I don't hesitate to recommend them to others if they like how they shoot and fit their hand, because once they fixed the Glock-grenade they're stupid reliable. They just don't point naturally for me.

Totally get it. I have an HK45c that's a great gun, but it has never felt right to me trying to shoot it. THe grip is awkward in my hand and that DA trigger is a beast on the first shot, too. My G26 is a little too fat, but certainly reliable. But that 43x MOS hits it for me. Everybody has the one (or 15) they like.
