    Which Sub Compact to get

    Hey, I was thinking of getting another Sub, right now I'm using LCP Pocket 380. But I want it in a 9mm, and also use it in conceal-carry shooting match, so I've been looking at Glock 26, Beretta Nano, and I'd tried the S&W Shield, but didn't like it. Any likes or dislikes?

    Love my Beretta Nano. It's almost as accurate as my 92.
    Very comfortable and easy to manipulate.
    If you can get on in CA go for it.

    There's one for sale here on the forum for $1250, but please don't pay 3x MSRP for a beater gun.

        For 9mm, you can't go wrong with the G26, IMO. I don't know much about the Nano, but I have heard less than favorable things about the Shield.

          I don't think it qualifies as a sub-compact since it is almost as big as the G19, but I like my M&P9c.

            i've always been a fan of the G26 and have owned a few; currently have a Gen 3 G26.

                sub compacts I currently own in 9mm

                kahr pm9 - love it but hate how it only holds 7rds
                Ruger lc9 - love the layout of the gun, hate the trigger and mag cap

                sold the rest of my sub compacts, what I currently holster at work Glock 19 gen 3

                  I thought the M&P9c shot really well, almost as well as its full-size sibling. Although it's slightly larger than a G26.

                    G26
                    Despite the fact I can't shoot mine very well, so traded it off for a third CZ75 that I gave to my stepdad, then missed it and I bought another that I don't shoot very well either
                    Boxy, but good

                      I really wouldn't put a g26 in the same class as a nano, shield, XDs, etc..
                      Sure, the grip is short and the barrel is small, but the damn thing is as wide as a full size 9mm.
                      I just can't imagine trying to conceal one.

                        xd sc 40 with a 9mm conversion barrel, a kahr cw9 is also a good carry gun

                          What's wrong with the shield 9mm?

                            I've been carrying a fullsize for a couple years now. You'd be surprised what you can carry with a good gun belt and a well designed holster.

                              My LC9 is great for pocket carry, but I definitely shoot my G26 better. Really not hard to conceal with a good belt and the right holster, as stated above.
