Well, just like the title says, I need a carry gun. My 21st birthday is rapidly approaching, and I'm itching. So, I'd like to get some suggestions from you folks.
Here's what I want:
9mm
Double-action/Single Action
Single Stack magazines
Prefer a metal frame to polymer. But I'm open.
Small enough to conceal relatively well on a slim guy
Big enough to be fun at the range.
Reasonably priced. (consider an 800$ limit.)
Here's what I DON'T WANT:
Anything Double stack. I have reasons.
1911 Designs. Unless there's a style out there that's DA/SA.
Stuff I've already looked at and decided against:
Sig P239. Just plain too big for what I'm looking for. Not to mention price.
Kahr CW9/P9/PM9. Feels ok in the hand, but I shot them and the trigger SUCKS. Granted it's a DAO, which is largely the reason they're excluded.
My brother carries a S&W 3913 TSW. If I could get my hands on one of those, I'd be tickled. That would be a happy day for me. Sadly, they're no longer made, and next to impossible to find, because everyone who has one wants to keep it. (Including my brother. )
So, THR, what say you?
