| I am looking to purchase a compact 9mm. I now own a Ruger P85 but I am looking for a 9mm that is a little smaller and a little lighter. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

holy moley, I just posted almost the same question in a thread entitled: i therefore must conceal. In it, lots of our friends discuss their favorite pics. I bought the taurus pt111 and love it, but many do not. take a look at that thread a couple days back and you might find what you need! good luck |

I have tried the Kel-tec and it is a small pistol but not as comfortable as the Glock or the Kahr in my opinion. I didn't like the feel of trigger on it either. |
| How about a Makrov?they were designed from the ground up as a concealed carry gun, Reliable, accurate, power-wise the 9mm Mak is between a .380 and a 9mm, reloadable brass can be found as well as hollow point bullets, Price-wise one can usually get one for $200.00 or less in excellent condition,only problems I've ever had with mine were mag related,(weak mag spring)and quickly solved by replacing the spring with a 10% stronger spring from Wolfe (I also got a 19#recoil spring for it from them while I was at it)other than that no problems, it feeds, fires, ejects, every time. totally reliable. |

I believe the Baby Eagle is made by Israeli Military Industries see link below to some guy's fan page ( I think) about Israeli commandos www.isayeret.com/weapons/handguns/jericho/jericho.htm Ah but what do true Israeli Super Ninja Commandoes use-GLOCKS! www.isayeret.com/weapons/handguns/glock/glock17.htm CDNN has had Jericho 9mm compacts, which are the exact same gun, for $ 279 for quite some time. You will have to download the catalog to look at their guns. www.cdnninvestments.com |

Greetings, I think I had originally told Pompey to go with a Glock - specifically, a Glock 19. Well, much to my chagrin - I've changed my mind on the recommendation. I'm purchasing another Glock in a few days - a 26. Having weighed the pro's and con's of this little gun - here's where I made my decision: 1) Reliability: I'm convinced that the Glock 26 will "go bang" every time I pull the trigger. Number 1 priority. 2) Weight: that's really the bottom line for most people. As I'll carry this in a pocket holster (either Null or Kramer), weight is a crucial factor. 3) Size: Small enough for a front pocket on a pair of khaki slacks, or a nice fit in the hidden holster pocket on my combat vest. Though it's a little thicker than a Kahr, it's not overly so. 4) Price: Used for around $400-425, new from $475 and up. Bottom line: regardless of the many recommendations here, go and and try out as many of these as possible, see how they shoot for you AND carry on you. |
