Unfortunately, I was waiting on a decision on a CCW, which is hard to get in California. Still waiting and meanwhile the P239 is gone. As for both the P225A and the many other guns, they are not available in California, the land where time has stood still and you can only get guns that were in production when the state passed its so called safe gun act. The effect of it is you can't buy the newer and often the safest guns.
It all depends where you live in California. The more remote counties are more CCW friendly. I heard Yuba county has over 800 holders.

Off list handguns still can be purchased, but only face to face transfers. So find a club, forum that lists guns for sale and meet them at the dealer and you can still find the new guns, although usually at a premium price.

Don’t forget some of the older military side arms were single stack 9 mm.

HighValleyRanch, Thanks. I have been keeping an eye on what is available via PPT on Calguns.com. It would be so much nicer if we could buy new from a dealer at regular street prices like those of us living in free states.

It ain't a single stack but what about the new Sig P365 that was just announced? It has what is being called a narrow neck double stack that holds 10 rds and you can get a 12 rd mag for it, but the gun is just an inch thick and smaller than a shield or a g43. One or both of those may be a hair thinner than the 365. I don't recall.

I was back east over the holidays and I lucked out when when I picked up a LNIB Sig P239 SAS Gen2. I honestly think this gun has never been fired but that will be addressed very soon, possibly this weekend. Couldn’t pass this one up for $550.00, especially since these are now discontinued!

That Sig 365 does sound interesting.

Go see how a Kahr T9 fits your you. For me, it was magical. Like I sent them my hand and said “build a gun to fit that”.
Mine too. Can't believe they don't sell more of these.

DB9 is overall smallest and lightest. Not promoting it, but that is true.

Agreed. They have been very hard to find. A few years ago I researched them and they just make a couple hundred a year. The tooling (back when I looked in to it) gets changed over to the T9 not very often.
