So I took a trip to fin feather fur today to see what compact 9mm single stacks they had. Looked at the sig p290, the kahr cw9, the ruger lc9, the taurus 709 slim, and a 1911 in 9mm. The 1911 was out of my price range, and super heavy. The p 290 was also pricey at $600 and the trigger SUCKS! No thanks. The kahr, the ruger, and the 709 were left. Didn't like the 709 triger to much, also the grip didn't feel to good in my hand. Liked the kahr but liked the ruger better. Ended up putting one on lay away $339.
