thinking of getting a compact pistol.
>sub compact is too small but i can deal with it
>standard is too big
id like 7-15 round mag capacity in 9mm, for under 400 usd, im looking at the glock 19, ruger lc9, and the kel tec PF9.
what would /k/ recommend? also im not interested in revolvers because i think mag capacity is king, unless /k/ can help me find a small .357 mag for under 400.
basically i need a pistol smaller than a standard size with a relatively high mag capacity in 9mm, unless its a .367 mag for under 400.
thanks anons
I carry a keltec p11. Its accurate, cheap & durable. I dont wanna be out of anymore than a $300 pistol after its confiscated after a DGU resisting Dindu trying to culturally enrich me.
With those options in mind the glock 19 is leaps and bounds above the rest. Slightly more difficult due to double stack frame but by the the most simple, reliable, easy to repair and also holds the largest aftermarket. With the right holds aND shirt choices the double stack frame can easily dissappear also

>glock 19, ruger lc9
If you can comfortably conceal the Glock 19 as easily as the Ruger LC9, then the choice is rather obvious. Also, I've heard the LC9 can be somewhat snappy due to how light it is, and Kek Tek guns are worse, so if you do want a slimmer subcompact 9mm you might want to look elsewhere (M&P Shield is available at that price point)

Also I got my gen3 19 for "used" (from what I could tell it was barely fired) for $412 at cabelas. 2k trouble free rounds since then ( 1 stovepipe that I attribute to a limp wrist of a new shooter)

Smith and Wesson shield, been hearing good things about walther pps but I carry the shield when I'm not carrying my uspc and i enjoy it

Excellent points. I had a PF9 for a stint and they are much harder to shoot well. Also unfortable to just go plinking with

I have a P11.
I bought it when my 1911 was at the gunsmith as something to pocket carry. I was a student and didn't have much cash
Absolute piece of shit.
>shit tier 50 pound trigger pull with 5" of travel
>plastic sights
However, it was perfectly reliable for the 150 rounds I put through it.
Nail in the coffin: the fucking front sight fell out when I was pocket carrying it.
Better than nothing if you're poor as shit, I guess

>trigger pull and weight

where is the safety on the ruger?
>im left handed so glocks really appeal to me
>>28030660
The M&P Shield can be had without the safety.

does that mean theres no safety at all on the gun?
the shield is starting to appeal to me.
>the best safety is between your ears
