Single stack, steel or alloy frame, subcompact , 9mm

Thank you for the suggestions. All three are bigger than I want. I think what I am looking for falls into the subcompact category. How do I edit my title?

Go to "Edit" under your comment, then choose "Go Advanced". You will have access to the title field to change it.

the best deal is a sig P6, same has a sig 225 but only cost $400 range

The Beretta 92 compact isn't really compact and it's not single stack. It's a 92 with a shortened grip. Regular 92 mags fit in it.

Correct. The 92 Compact is a double stack but the Type M is a 8 round single stack.

I know you said non 1911, but how about 1911ish... the sig P938 is one of the best subcompact 9mms on the market. It's small enough to be comfortably pocket carried yet shoots like a larger framed gun - its the most comfortable subcompact 9mm I've ever shot and incredibly accurate. The single action trigger has more travel that some striker fired guns I have shot but leads to a very crisp break. They also have .22 conversions for it so one day when .22 ammo isn't so scarce, you can train cheaply with it.

Sig 938 and 290 are both Single Stack.

Ill add though that I had a 938 and it gave me lots of headaches and I eventually sold it.

Sig 239', Colt Defender 9 (off-list), needs SSE'!

If a used pistol is OK the Ruger P89 meets your three requirements.

Maybe you can find a NIB P89.

The P89 is a beast of a gun (not sub-compact) and not single stack.

Kimber Solo may be your best sub-compact option.

Kimber Solo may be your best sub-compact option.

I think you may be right but I haven't been able to find one to check out.
