Looking for a micro 9mm

[PredFan]

going to spend my bonus on a pocket 9mm

Taking suggestions, but don’t say Kimber Micro because I’ll never own another Kimber ever.

I’m looking at the Sig but I’m not settled yet.

I have a pair of MP shields in 9mm that are my carry weapons on most days, but there is smaller ones.

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Why don't you go with .40? They come pretty much the same size plus greater stopping power.
Ruger SR40c is a sweet little gun.

I could look them up on the internet too, but I’m looking for the opinions of you fine folk.

They aren’t small enough for pocket carry. I live in Florida and the heat and humidity really makes holsters impractical. I spend most days that I’m not working in a t-shirt and shorts.

I do keep a 40 in my car at all times though.

There is nobody here to pick a handgun for you, I don't know anything about you, You need to go touch, handle and shoot anything you are considering.

Go to a range the rents weapons.

Sig P938 Nitron finish has served me well

Sig 938 Nitron finish has served me well

I’m looking at that one. I’ve never owned a Sig before. That’s part of the attraction to me.

My hubby chose it for me. I like it

But then there’s the Glock 43, I just can’t tell how big or small it is without holding it in my hand.

Serious, mang. Who would carry a loaded pistol in their pocket? That would be too close to my nuts and femoral artery. I don't trust any safety mechanism without a good holster. Maybe go for a revolver in 38/357.

I have carried my Ruger LCP in my pocket for 14 years now. It has six in the mag and one in the chamber. No safety, ready to fire. If your gun has a long pull and you practice trigger discipline, it’s never a problem.

 

[flewism]

OK I'll play, Sig 938 is a single action, not the best carry, unless you have the hammer cocked in your pocket.

It is a good looking gun, but you will get the first shot off faster with the glock 43.

I understand that newer pistols are more safe, maybe I'm just old-fashioned. When I got my Wisconsin concealed carry in 2011, I carried a Czech CZ-82 in 9mmX18. Then I went to a full-sized Ruger P-89 which was nice because it had a hammer. But the damned thing also has an ambidextrous de-cocker which sometimes got snagged on my shirt or hoodie.

I wasn't a Glock fan at the time but finding a good deal on a G19, that's what I've been carrying for the last 3 years. But those have to be carried in a good holster that has plenty of retention and trigger coverage because they're always ready to go off with a simple press on the trigger. Concealing those in the winter is no problem because I have to dress warm up here, but the Glock tends to "print" in the Summer when I'm wearing a thin shirt. Luckily lour concealed carry law here doesn't care if the outline of your pistol can be seen on your shirt or even if you carry open.

If it wasn’t for the heat here, I’d carry my Barretta FS 92. Love that gun.

Those are sweet! I'm looking for a full-sized 1911 right now. You can carry those in condition 0 with one in the chamber, the hammer back, and the safety off. Having an 8-round mag kinda sucks though.
