9mm smaller than a G26

[rwblue01]

I am looking for comparisons of micro-9mm pistols.
If you have any suggestions, or links I would appreciate them.

Thanks

Choose a model and there is likely a Kahr vs. Glock comparison on the page.

What kind of capacity are you looking for ?

Check out a Walther PPS. I was going to get one but the ergonomics of the grip and trigger guard didn't feel right. The trigger guard rubbed on the knuckle of my index finger uncomfortably. I would have purchased it otherwise.

I have a PM9 and I like it.

KelTec P11

I'd hafta say the Ruger SR9C.

It's a lot thinner than a G26, weighs a little less and has higher capacity.

Nice triggers too from what I read.

Slick's post intrigued me to check it out. I found a video review on downrange.tv

My first 9mm was a Ruger. My next one might be as well. This coming from a Glock fanatic.

Just be sure to pass on the full size, trigger sucks.

SR9C is way better.

Another option for a small 9x19 is the Beretta PX-4 Storm

It's polymer, very small frame and holds 13 rounds

That Walther PPS that PM mentioned is one little bity 9mm. I need to go fondle another one, but from what I can remember I really liked it.

[rwblue01]

When I started this, I was thinking an ultra small, ultra light gun, something I could forget was in my pocket and it needed to be 100% reliable. And I wanted it in 9mm.

I use to own a Jennings 22LR that was this way.


But after spending the day doing some research. I don't think there is such an animal. Since I have a G26, I think I am sticking with it for now.

Kel-tec PF-9 is about the smallest and lightest I have personally seen. Smaller and way lighter than my J-frame snubbie.

[BigSlick]

This the one yall are talking about ?

Looks nice, does it have a poly barrel ?

5,6 and 7 rnd mags available in 40 SW, 6.7 and 8 in 9x19, swap out back straps, Glock trigger safety thingy

That PPS looks interesting if S&W distributes them with a S&W guarantee.

Hope they run better out of the box than the P22.

[MONTEGOD7SS]

Yeah, that's it, Slick. It is pretty nice, and while I haven't shot one, I was very impressed with a P99 I have shot some.

Another option is the Taurus PT 709 Slim. I don't much like it but it is pretty small and light. I do really like the feel of that Walther PPS! It is amazingly slim. It is also horrendously expensive though.

[tyger006]

Not sure if they are available yet, but Microtech is coming out with some tiny pistols too.

If you want a 9X19MM pocket pistol then you probably need to look at a Kahr 9MM pocket pistol, they got some pretty small ones, I really like their triggers once their well worn in or slicked up by a Smif.

Is a Smif anything like a Smurf?:dontgetit:

Hi,

But after spending the day doing some research. I don't think there is such an animal. Since I have a G26, I think I am sticking with it for now.

+1 I am also not a fan of small auto's. The smaller and lighter they get, the less durable they are, and springs wear quickly. Reliability always seems an issue with them.

I think you could find some 9mm autos about the size of a G26, but a bit thinner that might be ok.

The J-frame (642, 442) is smaller but drops you to 5x38spl. It is a solid gun and is reliable.

Good luck,

Alan
