So I'm going to get 3 handguns, all 9mm, and I am hoping the same brand and would love it if they could accept some of the same magazines. I am not sure if that's feasible or not. The thing is I do want a small, very concealable, a medium size that could be concealed and a full sized for range and open carry outdoors. I was leaning towards CZ with a rami, compact and full sized. I'm not a fan of synthetic and really prefer metal. Just not a glock guy - I don't hate them I just don't care for them. Any other options but CZ meet that goal? I have a government size 9mm 1911 but the smaller versions seem hard to get.

Was just shooting 26, 19, 17... but also a CZ 75 Compact PCR. All nice. Shield is nice too.
Pretty sweet though that all those Glocks and the PC Carbine could all use the same G17 mag. I am amazed how great the smaller Glocks shoot for me, but the G17 RTF frames are my favorite. They just point fast and shoot great.Comment

Since we're going off roster...
Added:
(subcompact) Sig P-224
Just ensure that you are getting the later P229-1 for 9mm. P228, early P229, and P226 mags are slimmer than the later models (P226 stayed the same).Comment

Assuming that you purchase a P320 for a reasonable amount...
$800 - Firearm
$350 - Per exchange kit
$35-40 - per additional Mag since exchange kits come with 1
Really, all you need is a complete compact, a full size slide and a sub-compact grip with appropriate mags. The larger slides work just fine with the next size down grip.
C to SC is .5" of a difference and not worth the price considering low gains.

I know you mentioned 9mm only but I have a similar size group for my 1911’s.
Gov for open carry/ Commander medium and officer/defender size for concealed. And you can use full size mags in the officer/Defender they just stick out some.BUY AMERICANComment

You could add a P938 or P290RS as a Sig Subcompact, but it wouldn't have mag interchangeability with the larger Sigs.
Or, you could go:
Kahr P380 (9mm short)
Kahr PM9
Kahr CW9 or K9.......if you're a patient man. LOLLast edited by Title1guy; 02-20-2018, 3:26 PM.Comment

I would go with standard response of Glock 26, 19, and 17/34.
Another option is H&K: P2000sk, P2000, and P30/P30L/VP9. They all use the same body mag, just different lengths so the P2000 can take the P30/VP9 mags and the P2000sk can take mags from all three models.Comment
