Yes, I know... I opened the floodgates...

:eek:

But I still would like to hear what you folks think are the most reliable and concealable 9s out there.

Be kind!!!

Without a doubt, try every compact that you are looking at before selection.
If you go with the G26, look at getting the +0 or +1 extender. It will help with control and does not interfere with conceal ability.

I would take a look at a Walther PPS

only drawback to the G26 is IMO its heavy and thick b/c of the double stack mags.

yeah thats why I don't favor it over single stacked guns for concealment.

I was torn with this same question when looking for a summertime carry piece. It was between an M&P9c and the glock 26. I went to continental to see which one fired more accurate for me and generally what felt better in my hand. The M&P won. Narrow down your choices like I did and then pick the best 2 and try both of them out. Everybody's different.

Here's a new one to try out. I just read about it in the new Guns&Ammo Magazine. It's the Solo by Kimber. A little pricey but it's a Kimber.

Ruger SP101 in .357. I'm carrying one now in a IWB holster. Very comfortable.

Oh, you wanted a 9mm? SR9c or LC9 by Ruger.

I will agree, that could be a drawback.

fivepointstar · Apr 2, 2011

the PF9 fits comfortably in the pocket or clip it inside the shorts. its comfortable and light

I have an M&P 9C that I carry and love it. It conceals well and allows me to go 12+1.

I can make it disappear with the CBST holster, tuck another mag or two on the other side of the waistband and go unbdetected.

Sweet looking pistol.

Thanks!!

I already have a P238, but I'm starting to think in terms of carrying 2 of the same caliber (somewhere other than MD).
