WTB or WTTF 9MM CCW for the wife

[kaferhaus]

She's decided she's going to start carrying so got to find her a smallish 9MM, she's very petite @ 4'11", so nothing resembling a Glock or any other double stack is going to work for her. Prefer something like a S&W Shield (kicking myself for selling one 6 months ago....)

Seems like someone had a Kahr CM9 on here not long ago. I have the PM9 and absolutely love it. Very small and concealable. Super accurate for such a small gun. I have heard a lot of good things about the Shield as well. I will keep an eye and an ear out for you.

 

[kaferhaus]

Thanks Dave! I never should have sold that Shield.... it shot great and was dead nutz reliable.

I believe that cm9 sold, but the shield is also a great choice

i have a couple LC9's in stock

You're too far away and I'd rather not pay the overhead and taxes...

I know he's pretty far from you, but his prices are really competitive.

+1 on the Kahr.

 

[kaferhaus]

I don't care for Kahr pistols and even less for the Rev Sun Yung Moon's Unification Church

Add to that they want you to pay a premium price for a pistol that "requires" 300-500rds to "break in"...

I've got a CW9 and love it.
Actually, I read a review where the author tested several different 9mms right out of the box and the Kahr was the only one that didn't have a malfunction. I believe the manual says the "break-in" period is 200 rounds but that's just lawyers talking. Mine has never failed from day one.

LC9 or Sig P290 are both a good choice. I have a LC9 and I like it.

If it's a P290RS then I might be

I don't believe it is , there is no "rs" on the side of the pistol .. Nice pistol though , goes bang every time ! It was for my wife , but she won't carry it , and she's more comfortable with my buddys full size xd.45 ... So .. Can't complain about that I guess , so now I'm on the hunt , but the wallet says one has to go to get another ... Economy is a drag !!

 

[kaferhaus]

if it won't "double strike" then it's not. If you have to reset the slide to get it to fire, it's not the RS which stands for "re-strike"

Sig made quite a few improvements to the original design as they had a lot of negative feedback on the trigger. In fact there is a "passive" recall on the pistol because of the crappy trigger they came with.

 

[kaferhaus]

Again, this pistol will be for my wife.... she's very petite and a 8lb long creepy trigger is not going to work for her. She will both carry this pistol on her person and in her purse depending on how she's dressed. She's been to Academy and Bass Pro (just to look) but neither of those places will let you "dry fire" the pistols to get a feel for the trigger.

She's not a "noob" by any stretch and wants a 9MM, NOT a 380. I appreciate guys trying to give advice, but that's not what I'm asking for.

 

[NoEvo]

I does not re strike ... It is DAO , long pull , not sure of the trigger weight , I believe I still have the warranty card I've not filled out , you think I could check Sigs website to check for a recall ?

 

[kaferhaus]

By "passive" it means you need to contact them and and ask for the trigger upgrade.

Note they will NOT upgrade it to the RS.... just fix the horrid trigger

 

[NoEvo]

Called sig , no recall on the trigger or optional upgrade from them , perhaps an aftermarket thing , they do claim it to be a 9lbs trigger though . Not sure what's bad about it , mine seems fine , but it doesn't sound like what you're looking for .. Thanks for the info on the trigger , I'll be looking to upgrade it if possible ..
