And it’s true that at 50-75 yards it may be the most accurate 9mm you’ll find. Much is made about its accuracy over distance. There’s also the 15 round mag that just makes life that much easier. It’s a large (just over 2 pounds), take-no-prisoners pistol that’s 8.5 inches in overall length and features an open slide and a stainless steel finish that’s a nice change from standard black. They’re still pumping out some of the best 9mm pistols on the planet. Beretta 92FSīeretta took a significant hit when they lost the contract to supply pistols for the Army. The only real downside we see here is the 7 shot mag. This striker-fired pistol is made in the US. And that will allow you to absorb any additional recoil pretty effectively. Which means it’s going to generate a bit more recoil than a heavier pistol like the P320.īut the super comfortable grip enables a strong hold with minimal effort. The Springfield Armory XD-S 9mm is a compact tour de force that’s thin enough for effective concealed carry but still packs a significant punch. It’s accurate, easy on the recoil and comes with interchangeable polymer grips. Suffice to say it’s an excellent choice for concealed carry. If $17 million in testing isn’t enough to convince you of the gun’s worthiness no argument we could make will. It should also tell you something about the reliability and performance of this pistol. That’s good news for the company, its employees and New Hampshire where the gun will be manufactured. SIG Sauer P320Īfter a $17 million search that took two years and involved a dozen companies the US Army in 2017 chose the SIG Sauer P320 to replace the Beretta M9 as its standard issue sidearm ( 5). This is a great range gun or home defense option. No doubt that weight contributes to the solid feel of the gun and also helps reduce recoil to some extent. It features a 5 inch barrel, mounting plates for your choice of Trijicon, Leupold or Docter sites and it tips the scales at a fairly hefty 1.63 pounds. Fortunately, it’s got the brawn to back up its slightly surrealistic air. That alone will be enough to send some folks reaching for the credit card. With its ported slide the PPQ Q5 from Walther looks like something lifted from the drawing board of the late great H.R. That said, there are plenty of aftermarket triggers you can swap it out for. But it just doesn’t feel quite all there. If we have an issue with the M&P it’s that the trigger has an unusual look and feel to it. So concealed carry is not a realistic option.īut it’s easy to get a firm, comfortable grip, action is smooth and reliable and the mag holds 17 rounds. This is a little heavier (1.5 lbs) and a little longer (7.4 inches) than the other pistols we’ve looked at to this point. If you’re new to pistols and you’re looking for a reliable and affordable personal defense sidearm you really can’t go wrong with the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0. You won’t find us arguing with that assessment. Many consider it to be among the best ever offered for a striker-fired ( 4) pistol. But it’s the trigger that gets most of the press when it comes to the PPQ M2. It’s light (1.19 lbs), has a 4 inch barrel (5 inch variant available) and is compatible with both right handers and left handers. That said, from a performance standpoint this is a very comfortable, well-balanced firearm with an agreeable grip. But woe unto an intruder should you manage to pull this puppy before they get the better of you. The Walther PPQ M2 is not necessarily a great concealed carry pistol. Beyond that minor quibble though the P365 is a great choice for concealed carry, home defense or use as a backup weapon. They’re good for target practice but won’t be much help when dealing with an aggressive intruder. The P365 also comes with 3 dot tritium night sights. We’re not sure if its a function of the short, double stack but the balance of this pistol is outstanding. The double stack mag holds 10 rounds and there’s an extended magazine you can pick up that will hold 12. The P365 from SIG Sauer pulls off the incredible trick of being thinner than most single stack pistols even though it has a double stack magazine. Make sure you invest in a quality concealed carry holster as well. If you’re looking for the perfect concealed carry firearm this may just be it. The mag well is slightly flared, which makes loading magazines a painless process and the gun is completely ambidextrous. This is a very comfortable sidearm to wield, with very modest recoil and an equally modest weight of less than 1.5 pounds. It’s a handsome, compact firearm with a 4 inch barrel, clean lines and a sure grip that’s been upgraded from earlier iterations.
9MM TO INCHES PLUS
It chambers a 9mm Luger round ( 3) with a capacity for 15 plus the chambered round. It’s hard to find fault with the fifth generation Glock 19.
