why no 10 round single stack 9mm?

[sigma6]

I would love to have a full size or even compact 9mm with full California capacity. It seems the only ones available are in S/A 1911 style. I had an EMP a while back and I sold it due to S/A manual of arms. I would love to have a Striker or DAO (no damn safeties) polymer framed gun designed around 10+1 with slim, full size grips.

Thats the problem. And that request is a Victory for the Feinstein's-Schumer's, Levi-Boxers et al: That we long for 9mm SINGLE STACK 10 round guns....

Slowly but surely they are changing our mindset.

If I remember correctly, I saw an article recently, explaining this and other 9mm round issues. There's no single stack 9mm magazine because 9mm cartridge is slightly tapered - as you can see on the diagram below, from 9.93mm at the base to 9.65mm at the mouth of the case - inherited directly from its predecessor, the 7.65x21 Parabellum. As a result, the Luger pistol with the single stack magazine had a lot of feeding issues. It is much less of an issue in double-stack staggered magazines, that's why most popular 9mm guns are double-stack.



UPD: Here's an original article -

Because buying a 9mm single stack (in the rest of the world) is like buying a corvette with a 4 cylinder engine.

Then how come my 9mm Springfield 1911 single stack which I use a Wilson Combat 10 round single stack magazine never have any feeding issues and it also runs flawlessly for a few thousand rounds already

My G19 with 10 round CA legal mags are single stack

G19 is never a single stack, the standard 15 round capacity magazine is basically blocked to accept only 10 rounds, so it's basically a reduced capacity double stack

SR9 used to be on the list, was damned skinny.

+1 to gottmituns' comment, wanting a 10rd gun is starting to display symptoms of the bradies winning.

I run XDs9 3.3" with 9 round single stacked mags. Almost 10, but it's off list so SSE or PPT...

p239 is a single stack 9mm.

Single stack is more comfortable for some shooter. Where is this limited 10 talk coming from. But with single stack, it's the way it is.
I see plenty threads about gun for small hands or shortest reach, and this is where singles stack will fit them and among others.
