Looking for a sub-compact 9mm

[fyroc]

I am now an official PA resident. Now that I switched my license over I have to get my PA firearms license. It takes about a month.

I'm looking for a sub compact as my EDC. I'm finding that I have to conceal better here in Philly due to all of the anti-gun police and hipsters. I'm currently looking at the Kahr CM, and M&P Shield. The Kahr is winning at the moment. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Took me about 2 weeks when I got mine. Could be different county though.

Be prepared to fill out the states version of a 4473 when you buy/transfer a handgun.

My cousin bought a Walther CCP and it shoots like a dream and the ergonomics blew my mind. We ran over 100rnds of tula the first day he got it with out even cleaning off the factory lube. Not a single issue.

It takes Philly forever to do it because how liberal they are. I'll look up the CCP.

Yeah... I live in the sticks lol but Maryland is pretty close.

Only thing I don't like about the CCP is the field stripping. First time is a PITA. Then once you get the hang of it it's ok.

I've owned both and the Shield wins hands down. The Kahr line feels like a compromise while the Shield and G43 represent the only "full featured" single-stack 9mm handguns on the market.

Looks like it's similar to the P22.

But in 9mm lol. It's really a sweet shooter.

Shield

I like the XDs. The shield was my runner up after trying a bunch of single stacks.

When grabagun had them for $339 Springfield had a rebate for 3 extra mags with purchase. The 3 mags tipped the scale.

I had an XDM that I regret trading. it was a solid gun.

And with the XDs I can go 45ACP

or you could go with my EDC, USPc .45. I love it!

As much as I love USPs, it's not quite subcompact. I have a Glock 19 for that application

I had the shield and the Sig wins hands down. If you look for a deal, it can be had. The shield has actually jumped up to $389 at CG&P when they used to be found all day long at $329. Of course, if you buy the shield you will have to add night sights and an Apex trigger to get it where everyone else says it should be. The Sig comes RTS (ready to shoot) so it is FTW!!!!!!!

Have/had both. The Kahr CM9 is more like a pocket pistol. I don't carry either if that tells you anything.

Carrying te CCP inside a jacket breast pocket and no one is the wiser. 9rnds total.

Didn't @Gunsite Grad have one of these and proclaim it to be the worst trigger of any gun in the history of bad trigger guns ever? Or am I thinking of something else?

Reset is pretty long but other than that I really dig it.

Do people care about the trigger reset on a sub-compact, concealed carry, might as well be a pocket gun?
