re: Compact 9MM for CC?

I’m debating selling mine and getting the EZ Shield 9mm without the thumb safety.

Kahr cm9

Or

Kahr cm40 with a 9mm conversion barrel..


The cm series I believe is still the smallest of all those you have listed.... Cheap and been really reliable imo


Tho if you want to spend a bit more money my next want is the sig 365 with the XL lower conversion

I have been using gundeals to get my info and pricing. It appears that the Taurus G2 or G3 are more available than others. Is there a reason for this?

shawn,

That's beautiful!



OP,

I'd go with a Shield at that price. I have shot 3-4K rounds through mine. I had trouble with one magazine, but once I figured that out, it's shot every time I've pulled the trigger. Buy 4-6 extra magazines, or you'll get tired of loading them at the range. At some point get an Apex trigger installed.

XD mod2. 9mm. Has my vote.

Hell no! not with all those crazy safeties it has what? 3 that I see?
Won't fire without mag in it?
Won't fire with thumb safety?
Won't fire without grip safety?

Lol isn't one enough? How many extra parts and springs does that require to maintain??

When did shields get all that stuff? Is that just Cali version?

SIG P365

From your list I have the Shield and the Canik. Both are great but the TP9 has become one of my favorite guns since I bought it at the beginning of this year. I used to have a SCCY and it is a decent budget gun but Im not sure if the cpx 2 is the SA striker fired one. I had the DA only and beat it around in the farm truck.

I will say, SCCY had great customer service. I dropped it one day and broke the rear sight off and they sent me a replacement within a week with no questions asked.

Taurus guns are good, but they took a bad beating in their reputation a decade or so ago with some really, REALLY shitty semi auto guns... Mainly the PT111 Millennium guns, of which these Taurus G Series guns are HEAVILY based off of. They've supposedly made major strides in the quality, fit and finish since "re-branding" to the G series.

I had a G2 a couple years back. It's a good gun but the biggest knock on all the Taurus G guns are their triggers. They have a SUPER LONG take up, a heavy break and an almost indistinguishable reset. Have big hands and had trouble squeezing my index finger enough to get it to break/fire and it caused me to have poor shot placement. Had to get rid of it.

When it comes to revolvers, Taurus has a solid reputation but their semi autos are still suffering from their bad history and are still "not quite there" when it comes to being a good enough gun to be relied upon as an every day carry. That's why you see so many of them and why they're priced at the level they're at.
