Great sub compact pistols?

[shekaar]

So I’m planning on picking something up to conceal. What are some great small frame pistols these days? I’m skinny, so nothing I have currently is going to work.
I’ve also never been a huge fan of the Glock models I’ve shot in the past, though I know they come highly recommended in general.

Thanks all!

Go into the HANDGUN section. There are TONS of threads in there.

Look at a Springfield Hellcat, they seem to be all the rage out this way. I’m waiting for a Pro model to hit the handgun roster myself.

You need to shoot a few, or at least handle them. There are a lot of great subcompacts out there. Hellcat, P365s, Glock 43.

I just bought a Hellcat yesterday. They are running a promotion right now;the gun, range bag and 5 magazines. I paid $570 for it. I'm going to give a try, really like the feel of it.

I’ve been waiting so long for my rights to be restored, I’m just planning on buying most of the popular subcompacts I’ve been pretending didn’t exist.

I'll take everything on the menu, please.

Exactly. I haven’t found a gun I’ve hated yet.

Cool I’ll check out the handgun section.

I have an XDm, I’m a big fan of Springfield guns I’ve shot before.

You guys are probably right, handing a few at a range is probably the way to go.

I do want to try a hellcat now though. I’ll have to look around see if any ranges near me have one I can rent!

We were on vacation years ago (family of 4) and the waitress was going over the dessert cart menu when I stopped her short and said
“ we’ll take the cart”. That was an E F Hutton moment we still laugh about.

That’s a hell of a deal, where did you purchase?

Springield is running the promo for the range bag and 3 extra mags. I thought I was going to have to send in for it but they had the whole package available right there in store.

That’s not too far from me, maybe about 35 minutes. A trip might be in order very soon!

Oh man! I’m going to get on that today lol. I bet they are going fast. I have the XDm range bag from Springfield, they super nice bags as a bonus.

 

[teratos]

I would imagine there is a huge demand for subcompacts right now in MD.

I always forget about the waiting period here lol. Haven’t bought a new handgun since leaving Arizona where I could walk out with one on my hip in about 45 minutes. How I miss those days!

I’m quite sure you’re right! I’m guessing supply will be low in the coming months when more and more get their permits. Definitely want to get working on one now!

Canik tp9 elite sc is a great contender at an amazing price point and it comes with alot of extras that you won't see from most. I bought my first Canik a TP9SFX the first time I saw it at a LGS. I got it to the range and I couldn't have been more impressed. Great shooter and for me has been nothing but reliable. Knock on wood my TP9SFX has never had a single failure of any sort since purchasing it back in 2017. It just seems to eat everything and I shoot it well. It points, aims and fits very naturally.
