Single stack 9mm pistols

peacefulgary · January 4, 2018, 08:44 PM

I was just wondering what single stack 9mm pistols are currently in production (9x19).

Off the top of my head...

Glock 43
S&W Shield
SA XD-S
SA XD-E

What are some others?

Kimber Micro 9
Sig P938
Any 9mm 1911 single stack

side by side...so close in size and shape that they share the same holster.

Keltec PF9.

I have the SA 1911 RO in 9mm, absolutely LOVE this platform. By far the lightest recoiling handgun of all my collection. Very accurate with my tuned 124 gr handloads.

JDBerg · January 5, 2018, 08:07 AM

Sig P6 which is the German Police version of the old civilian P225, and the newer Sig P225-A1 which is closer in design to the P239 than the old P225.

smee78 · January 5, 2018, 08:45 AM

I have a few of the guns listed here but the one that has been getting alot of carry time lately has been my G43. Op what are you looking to do with this gun, will it be a carry piece or a range gun? A little more info would be helpful in listing guns that would fit your need.

Sgt127 · January 5, 2018, 10:04 AM

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”.

I also own or have owned:

Sig P6 (P225) (I think out of production)
A Sig P239 (also, I think, discontinued)
Kahr K9 (outstanding)
Kahr PM9 (just sold it, great gun)
S&W 3913 (discontinued)

They are/were all great guns for me.

sureshot106 · January 5, 2018, 10:39 AM

Kahr CW 9

PlatinumCore16 · January 5, 2018, 11:22 AM

Kvon2 beat me, but I picked up a Taurus PT709 Slim about 5-6 years ago. I don't believe that exact model is in production any more, but I still carry it and it is reliable with reliable mags (don't buy ProMags and intend to use them for carry duty). JUST CHECKED The "slim" line is exactly the same as mine, it just isn't called 'PT' anymore. They also have a BUNCH of other pistols in their "concealed carry" line up, but I didn't really look to see if they are single stacks.

otasan · January 5, 2018, 03:08 PM

I like the Glock 43.

batmann · January 5, 2018, 06:03 PM

I have both, a Walther PPS M2 and a Kimber Micro 9. The Walther is easier to shoot, but the Kimber is easier to carry.

Wow! There are a lot more single stacks than I would have guessed.

It would be for carry during the day and a night stand pistol while I sleep.

I once was big on capacity (Glock 17), but I'm not so concerned about capacity these days.

Smallest 9mm currently made, Diamondback DB9.

BigJimP · January 6, 2018, 12:46 PM

Then a 5" 1911 in 9mm... ( 10 + 1 Rds in a full sized gun )...should be exactly what you want. Wilson Combat is my personal preference / but there are options out there from Colt, Springfield, etc.

Did you know that there are guns that are not made of plastic out there?

Almost all 1911's are single stack.

Many of them are chambered in 9mm, and almost every major manufacturer offers at least one or two or five .....

Then there are 1911 lookalikes that are not actually 1911's .... (Sig 938) ...

.... there's the Taurus 709Slim, if you want that sort of thing ..... DB9, LC9 .....

I agree that not all guns are made of plastic, but the most popular ones are made from polymer

When you factor in cost, you can see why polymer frame pistols come first to mind when thinking about single stack 9mm's. I also see no advantage to a single stack 1911 in respect to reliability or durability over a polymer frame pistol. Now when it comes to the best trigger out there, 1911 reigns king.
