Gun Suggestion

#1

Post by wgoforth »

I prefer a striker fired 9mm pistol. Looking for something like a smaller kimber (ultra or aegis) but striker fired. That is, metal body and quality made. I currently carry an LCP and Taurus 709, but love the feel of a more substantial piece for carry. I don't need a full sized, have those for home defense, but looking for concealed carry.
Any suggestions would be appreciated (besides make my own, lol)

I'm not sure what your price range is...that has a considerable impact on the suggestions. If you're like me, without much discretionary funds to spend on guns right now, I'm looking at a Bersa Ultra-Compact .45 or 9mm in nickel.

EDIT: It's a hammer-fired gun...I just re-read your OP. I'm not sure about any all-metal striker-fired guns. I currently carry an XD-40 that I highly recommend, but it has a poly base. It is a substantially solid and reliable weapon though.

No doubt Bersa is a good gun. I have considered the XD. I currently have a Taurus 24/7 that is along that line. I absolutely love the feel of the smaller Kimbers in my hand, BUT I'm afraid that there is too much to catch on clothing in a concealed carry situation. Maybe not, but that's my fear. Too, I like the double-strike ability of the striker fired.
Thanks and good luck on getting your Bersa!

There are very few striker fired small pistol with steel body. May I ask the reason why you must choose this configuration? It severely limits your number of choices.

They aren't striker fired, but you might take a look at a CZ 75 compact or CZ P-01.
