What are your favorite hammer-fired compact pistols....

[Redcoat3340]

Wondering what folks like in terms of hammer-fired compact pistols (metal or plastic), both for carry and for fun.

My favorite carry: S&W 6906, and Beretta PX4c; for "fun:" Walther P5 and Sig P6 (although I should take it out of the safe and try it IWB again.)

 

[sigarms228]

For carry and fun P30SK with 10 and 13 round magazines. For fun SIG P229 and P228.

My P30SK with 13 round HK magazine.

Another fan of the P30SK.

Springfield Range Officer Champion in 9mm.

 

[Browning]

Compact hammer fired ... that would definitely be the CZ75 Compact.

(Nothing says greatness like guns on beige carpet)



Liked it so much that I went out and bought a clone of it (Canik C-100 imported by TriStar) for a truck gun.

Uses the same mags too.

 

[js8588]

Beretta Px4 SC. It gets alternated with my 327 SP101 for daily carry.

[MosinT53Hunter]

Bulgarian Makarov is a good one too.

 

[Striker]

Sig 239 and S&W 3913.

 

[somethingbenign]

Just got a CZ RAMI and aside from the non-existent aftermarket I can't find a good reason to carry anything else.

 

[ScarLata]

Sig P225-A1
Sig P229
CZ P01 Omega

 

[MedWheeler]

Pretty much any Commie-Bloc mil-surp.

Bersa Thunder .380..

Ruger P95.

I'm partial to all-steels, though.

Those are about it from the ones I have experience with. I expect there are a lot more with which I do not.

 

[Iggy]

45 of one flavor or another.

 

[WestKentucky]

Phoenix hp22a for a ton of inexpensive fun. There is no gun on the market which has a better smile/cash ratio.

Oh man... that smile/cash ratio is pretty tough to beat!

Walther PP; just a natural pointer (and if it was in 380 instead of 32, I'd have kept it)

 

[idfishbait]

I like my XD-e in 9mm. It doesn't get much more compact.

 

[Tallball]

I am going to start carrying my S&W Model 915 soon. It is a good-shooting pistol and seems like it would carry pretty well under a jacket or something.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Walther PP; just a natural pointer (and if it was in 380 instead of 32, I'd have kept it)

Wouldn't trust my life to a .380 PP.....gun was designed for the .32 round and they feed much better than the big bores. My .380 was a jam-o-matic.

Sig P6 and S&W 6904 for my compact carry pistols. P238 and Mustang for sub-compact.
Had a Beretta Tomcat too.....ankle carried it for awhile until I realized the frame was cracked.

S&W 6906; CZ-VZOR70
