Your choice on a hicap 9mm compact ( ** New Reply** )

Compact is the goal, correct?
CZ decocker, even says Compact.
For sub/micro compact. P365

OP
I have said 9mm because I do not reload anymore, and 9mm is about the most economical to shoot as well as extended capacity in the magazine. When all is said here, I may just use my G36 in 45acp. Not a lot of round capacity, but small and powerful
OP
Well, I am not a first timer. What I am doing here is gathering information. I am using the knowledge of the forum as intended. I am looking for good experiences and bad ones too. If three guys come out and say stay away from the S&W ABC model and explain their issues, that may cause me to be careful about going in that direction.
It also opens the door to considering examples I may not have considered.

Yes compact is the goal.

Quite a few (a dozen or more) compact options. The G19 is an obvious one, would also check out the M & P 2.0 3.6” and one kind of out of left field, the Girsan P35 PI Ops, steel or alloy frame.
YESSIR!!!!!!!
But, if you can find one and don't mind the fact that it's used, the S&W 6906 still qualifies for the OP's high cap 9mm.

Parties ! What a party to you cutting the fool acting cool . I don't drink or smoke anything so what's fun . I have a 9" pool table in the basement and win some and loss some . A range out back for fun but do like to bbq and never had a problem letting others act like there the life or the party or the fool .
You can find the info you want doing searches instead of asking for opinions but you may want visit most firearm forums as they all have likes and dislikes . All gun companies let some turds get out the door . One older designs just be sure you can cover the parts for it you may need . I had one handgun the had to go home for some tlc brand new but its been good now for the last 15 years . Had handgun I do not like but they run fine for many others and thats part of the reason I said to see if you can rent some of the models your interested in or swap handguns at the range to try .
Now since your here I had a s&w gen 2 model 669 , good handgun with a great SA trigger but never took to it so it stayed in my safe for 28 years till I sold it . Lots of people dislike m&p early trigger design , but a couple minor tuning tricks and some raounds down range they tend to be rather nice triggers . I have a 2.0 compact 4" in 9mm optic ready but carry full size m&p's in40's or a 1911 lw commander in 45 . Now find what you like best . Maybe a CZ 75 compact or canik !
We have a G36 but I bought a stainless Ruger Officer 45
for carry when necessary.
While only 8+1 in 9mm, the Sig P239 is a bit shorter than
the G36, and is DA/SA.
If I need a 9mm smaller than the M59, it's the Sig.
Often called a very accurate, compact, combat carry,
ugly looking pistol.
With autoloaders, firing as fast as possible, at 10yds,
into a B27, and getting all in the black, is a good goal.
I guess the first 5 or 10 are important.

Not a 9mm compact Walther on the list?
Some years ago the manager of the LGS/range was giving a lesson to a concealed carry student.
Gun was cleared and hammer cocked.
Asked the student to approach him and pull the trigger.
As the student got close and was about to pull the trigger,
the manager stuck his gloved hand between the hammer and slide.
I guess striker fired guns may have some advantages for
close encounters.

If I could only own 1 pistol, it would be my plain Jane Sig P365.

I'm starting to think a drink or top might do you some good, Francis.

The Hellcat being almost the same size as the Kahr PM9 and PM40 is why I switched. Although I do like the Kahr's longer DA type trigger pull best.
I use the same Galco holster for the Hellcat as the Kahr.
FWIW, wearing the Hellcat while doing a few hours yard work got me a 2x3 "road rash" on my side from the grip's texturing.

What is considered high capacity? The Ruger I carry is only 7+1, plus the 2 spare mags that I don't generally carry, depending on where I go. One of the spares is in my car if I happen to be somewhere that I feel I may want to carry it, but that's rare. At self-defense range if I run out then I really think my work on Earth is through. Lots of nice choices in carry guns up above in all (most) of the posts to consider, though. Sometimes I'll have my M36 in a front pocket holster, also, for an extra 5.
Again, lots of nice choices to consider. Good post!

True for me as well, but I hated the G26 grip. Weirdly, shot it just as well… but hated the short feel.

Although I am a Glock Fanboy, there are a lot of other good ones and most less expensive than a G-19 gen 5.
Beretta APX A1 Compact
Stoeger STR-9 variants, except you can't find any extra magazines beside the only one that it comes with.
Glock 43X
I've been carrying S & W Shield Plus most of the time lately.
