I am not too sure how small you want to go. But for a small hide self defense gun, I would go with any of these; with an exception of the fact I would trade the springfield out for a Glock. Like I said, I am not too sure how small you want to go. But if you intend to really use it I would go a bit bigger. Sheild or baby Glock being the smallest.Knowing what I know now...hmm. That's not easy. 1. Shield 9mm2. Sig 938 9mm3. Kahr CM9 9mm4. Springfield XDs 9mmAsk me tomorrow and the order might change.
If you had to start over and wanted something in the subcompact range, what would be your first purchase?
Ya just need real loose-fitting boxer shorts!
LANShark42;51914549 I would not recommend a sub-compact as your first/only EDC.[/QUOTE said:It depends upon the individual. I recently trained someone whose first handgun is a Kahr CM9. He took to the training very well and ended up being able to reliably hit a man-sized target at 15 yards and point shoot and reliably hit a man-sized target at 5-7 yards. His hit rate was over 90%. At the end of the training, he was drawing from a holster and shooting and reloading. During the 5 hour training session he shot 4 different handguns and expended 250-300 rounds.
