Subcompact 9mm thoughts?

[Mexi_Can116]

Have you even held a g26? Maybe you should start there cuz the 26 has a real awkward grip even with the grip extension and quite frankly I didn't like it at all and don't like any of the xd's either.

It really is the width you need to concern yourself with. The G26 is not by any means a thin sucker, but it's easily manageable. I'll put it to you this way (just my opinion), I had an xd40sc, now I have a G26.

For what its worth and I know its not on the list but my KT P-11 has eaten every type of ammo I have thrown at it hides much better than my G27. Not to snappy either with the Hogue Jr. grip. 4.3 in and 5.6 in long 1'" wide holds 10+1, and 20 oz loaded up. The only thing I don't like is the factory sights, which I drilled out and put FO sights. Breaks down easy for cleaning as well. I have recently added a belt clip which I have come to love! http://www.bayoushooter.com/forums/showthread.php?54798-New-FO-sights-on-my-P11-Pics&highlight=

I say g26. I am somewhat in the same situation only I am walking away from the "serbo Croat special" altogether for carry. I am also a .40 feller so I am looking at the g27 or g23, I have and still am kind of considering the M&P but am nervous about not liking the trigger, although I do value LSP's opinion on them improving just still nervous I won't like it.

I love my XD9 subcompact, and I also have an XDm-40. I am without a doubt a huge fan of Springfield and the whole XD series; I just love 'em. That said, I probably wouldn't choose the XD if I CC'd. They are great shooters, but they're heavier and bulkier than any on the list and that is a big factor in CC. If I were to CC I'd get something no smaller than 9mm but extremely small and light, like a Keltec PF9 or something. But for pure shooting, I like my XDs!

Dead link-- or is it just me?

Test fire all three. Buy the one YOU shoot best.

All three will do their job if you do yours.

I personally like the XD40sc, due to the fact that my 45 is a XD45 Tactical, and I like the consistancy in grip and I shoot XD's well.

I like the XD trigger MUCH better than Glocks. But that's just me. My only experience with the M&P was a 45 a couple years ago and I was OK, I didn't like the hinged trigger, though.

I like the Glock pistols, and I shoot them well, but the grip is too big on the G21 and I want a hi-cap 45 that isn't $1K and the XD45 fits the bill perfectly. I don't want two different grip angles on my different defensive pistols, so I sold all my Glocks. I am not as much a fan of the XDm line as I am of the regular XD's, just 'cause I like the regular XD grip the best. It is closest to my very favorite gun, my P229R.

Thanks! And...

to the 150 round "cap". That might be the most asinine thing I've ever heard...

I have heard this same type complaint several times before.
