TurboGoKart Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I am looking around now for a good sub-compact for my CCW. So far the only three that look promising are the Glock 27, Walther PPS and S&W M&P .40. Obviously I'm looking at .40's, but any good 9mm's available? Kel-Tec's are pooo right? Also, with those three, keep in mind holster options also. Or can you buy pretty much any kind/body placement holster for those as well?

oldman09FZ6 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 S&W CS40 Chiefs Special,small and virtually unknown,not even listed in S&W catalogs. do a google search for S&W CS9,CS40,CS45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 If you want TINY, I was very happy with my Kel Tec P3AT. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 KelTec's are not necessarily poo, especially after the first couple hundred rounds. Dad has a P3AT, I have a P11 w/ pinky extension and it's very accurate and comfortable to carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I like my XD SC but would rather go to a micro gun like an LCP or P3AT, just don't know what to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I enjoy my Steyr S9. It's unique. I've also fired a very small Kel-tech 9mm (possibly a PF9) and a S&W air weight .357. I thoroughly enjoyed the .357 air weight , strongly disliked the kel-tech. Go to a range and rent some guns. see what you like and what you shoot well with.

smokin5s Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have a Ruger LCP and have been very happy with it so far, it's tiny, has a decent side caliber and is light weight. accuracy sucks ass, but I'll be honest, if I have to use it, someone's going to be within 10 feet of me and closing fast.

gaewsky1 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 S&W CS40 Chiefs Special,small and virtually unknown,not even listed in S&W catalogs. do a google search for S&W CS9,CS40,CS45. Never heard of them but looked them up. They look pretty nice for carry. Do you own one if so where did you buy? How much was it? Thanks. OP, didn't mean to hijack, I'm just looking for carry guns too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinergi Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Everyone wants something different. You need to decide if you want a revolver. There are PLENTY of benefits to this. Or, if you want an automatic. There are PLENTY of downsides to that. What are you REALLY trying to do with it? Carry everyday? How many hours a day? There's a LOT of questions you need to answer to help me help you. I recommend and sell anyone anything, but I prefer to get them what's right for them.

oldman09FZ6 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 S&W CS9,CS40,CS45 are rarely seen at dealers and gunshows. Just gotta watch out for them and be able to recognize them. Used ones,because of their rarity/uniqueness sell for about same price as a new one,typically about $550. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGoKart Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Picked up the S&W M&P 9C with night sights. Got a pretty decent deal on it new from Vance's. I'm pretty happy with it so far. Now to hit the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
