Suggestions on Sub Compacts

[beaster]

I've been craving another handgun for sometime. Go figure, I spent the money on a new upper for my AR instead. Now I'm back in research mode for a handgun. I've looked at the Taurus .40S&W (comes with 2 10rnd clips for $400). I still want to look at the Barreta PX4 Sub and Walther (though the Walther only holds 6rnds). Any of you out there with Sub Compacts have any suggestions, horror stories, etc.?

i got the millenium pro 40 about 4 months ago. about 750 rounds later, i love it, not one issue to speak of.

I say Glock 27.

I like XD9 subcompact, reliable and really accurate for a little gun.

While not completely 'sub-compact', this smaller frame Taurus might fit your bill:

I have one in 9mm and love it. Roughly 2,000 rounds through mine and 1 FTE @ the end of a very dusty day @ Frontsight. I used a Beretta 92fs lighter weight hammer spring from Wolff to lighten trigger pull. Here is a size comparison next to my Beretta:



And my idea of LUCC:

I'm a fan of the Glock 36 in .45ACP. Mine's been flawless since day 1.

My two cents---compact: HK P2000---sub-compact: Kahr CW9 or P9---ultra-compact: Kahr PM9---if we lived in an unrestricted state: the Walther PPS is great---love mine, put another 120 flawless rounds thru it last Sunday (along with a similar amount thru P2000 9mm) . I know these guns are higher priced than Taurus, Keltec etc., but lets face it , you deserve some of the finer things in life!

What's your budget? what do you plan on using it for? play or self defense, concealed carry? buying new or used?

I personally like .40 cals ( I get .40 cal ammo for free, thanks dad and your hook up) but 9mm's are cheaper to shoot, more ammo choices, funner to shoot for some, and still very deadly.

I had a XD40sc and loved it, but I actually only put 30 rounds through it, now I have a S&W M&P40 compact, love the way it feels but haven't shot it yet, but they normally run $70 to $100 bucks more than an XD

There's always good deals on XD9sc and XD40sc in the classifieds, last week there was an XD9 sc with tactical light, 250 rounds of ammo, and a inside the waistband holster (only good if you have a CCW, but could sell it off) for a asking price $450, I think gun alone was $350.

My nephew has a Taurus Millenium pro 40, I love the feel of the gun, very small and light, my nephew and my brother in law both hate it, they say the trigger is about the worst they've ever experienced, I couldn't say, I've never fired it but I've been tempted to pick up a Millenium Pro 9mm at times, their only about $350 new.

There's a Kahr CW9 in the classifieds right now $350, nice little pistol. very thin and light, good for carry but only 6+1?

Can't go wrong with a small Glock if you like Glocks that is, not my cup of tea but they are very good firearms.

I say Glock 27.

So do I.

the subs are great for ccw but i prefer a full combat grip. never liked the short grip where theres no place for my pinky.
