single stack 9mm?

[kdm]

Looking for a single stack 9mm for my wife. We'll be renting a Ruger shortly (she likes the feel)...what other options are there? Everything's double stack, which is too big for her. To complicate things...she likes the light pull of a single action. Anybody able to pull an other option outrageous their hat?

[kdm]

Awww, jeez..."outta", not "outrageous". Frikken spell check.

Sig P239

Khar has single stack 9mm but they're double action. Try the metal S&Ws.

1911

Smith 910, 3913

Well I'm aware you didn't ask for a spelling lesson, so I'll give some possibly useful insight. Although you said ruger have thought about a rock river 9mm 1911? I think SR9s are double stack but if not there's another great one. Have fun

Springfield EMP 9mm. It is a smaller 1911. Perfect.

Once you own a 1911, it becomes the gun you compare everything else to.

Bear in mind I'm a Glock guy. So for me to say that...is saying something. If you want single stack...well that just SCREAMS 1911.

I respectfully disagree

SIG P239
SIG P225
Both are DA/SA, so she may not like the long first pull

Ruger LC9 has a light DA pull, but it's a long pull.

And of course you could look for a 9mm 1911. My standard disclaimer applies to SA products: be prepared to send it back for fixing.

Sig Sauer P225...If you can find one...

[sneather]

If you don't mind a little legwork, you can try and pick up a used Beretta 92 Type M. Single-stack nine, with all the same simplicity & reliability of the 92FS.

Those are still on the roster, so you can get them from out of state peeps.

Sig P938 when it comes out I bet will be the winner of all winners. Love my P238 which the P938 will be the 9mm version of.

Single stack 9mm with 1911 style controls made for CCW, and its single action only. What's not to like? Might already be out in stores, not sure. If it is, then I want

[kdm]

Cool...thanks for the input! 1911 patterns are kinda out, because of the grip size. Wife's got small hands, and it's a bit thick for her. In addition to the Ruger, we'll check out the Sig line a little more.

Try the Kahr CW9 small slim and reasonably priced

i'd suggest your wife consider including the Sig Sauer P225 with her candidates for purchase. it is a DA/SA compact that is highly touted as being a semi auto for those with large hands and those with small. the ergonomics of this gun are noteworthy; the end result is a great shooter that grows on you... from the first time you shoot it.
