Right now I'm carrying a S&W 340PD revolver in .357 mag as my usual carry piece and after shooting several 9mm pistols with +P and +P+ ammo, Im considering an upgrade to a light compact high capacity 9mm for concealed carry. So help me find a good choice.
Here are my requirements:
-Must have a 10 round or more capacity (preferably 12) in 9mm
-Must be rated for 9mm +P or preferably +P+ (Winchester Rangers)
-Must be under 20oz unloaded weight (preferably with a titanium slide)
-Must be DA/SA, absolutely NO DAOs will be considered (I realize this may limit my options considerably).
-Must have a manual safety (thumb operated, a trigger aint no damn safety unless its a revolver)
-Must have 3-dot night sights available for it (preferably as a factory option)
I've been looking at the Kahr PM9, but its got an uuuugly DAO trigger and no manual safety. Its also not got much capacity-wise. If I only wanted 6 rounds , I'd carry a 45acp.
The pistol that seems to fit the bill best so far is the Taurus PT111. There appears to be a PT111 that comes with a with a titanium slide and night sights standard, but from what I can tell it was only ever made in a DAO model, not DA/SA.... but for some reason I cant fine ANY information on the Taurus site about their titanium frame/slide pistols... did they discontinue these or something? The steel slide DA/SA PT111s are allright, but the Heine straight-8 sights are craptacular and I cant seem to find out whether night sights are available. No mention of whether they can handle +P or +P+. Anyone have clarification here on what exactly is available for the PT111?
Any other pistol suggestions within my requirement parameters?
