Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns what would you recommend

Looking for one to carry CCW. Perimeters: DA/SA could be 9MM, 40S&W or 10MM 10-14 rounds, slim profile, barrel 3.4-3.7 not plastic, capable of +P, and doesn't break the bank. May I hear the suggestions. Thank you for your time. P.S. something along the lines of the Taurus PT111-G2
Cheers NC

"not plastic"

Uh, the Taurus PT111-G2 is plastic.
You might want to rethink your requirements.

IMHO your paramaters exclude you from the better choices.

10-14 rounds would be a double stack magazine, therefore no slim profile.
Eliminating the modern polymer framed options makes no sense with your given parameters.

S&W 3913.

CZ 75 compact

Sig p239

1911, government model, 9 mm, Wilson combat 10 round magazine, Gives you 11 round capacity in a single stack. Or you could go with a commander model with full size Mags.
Manufacture of your choice, I would recommend Jim milks, to build you a nice custom for about 4K :-) just joking.

Yep. CZ 75D PCR. It might be the best CCW pistol out there.

Excellent choice!

get you that Taurus, the world does not need anymore functional guns on the street. You would be better off with a Hi-Point, but SIG comes to mind if you like double-single action...

also not many are buying 40's these days you can get a better deal on a .40.

This was meant more as an idea for size only. Thanks Cheers NC

Can't go wrong with the CZ 75c; slightly bigger with a 4.25" barrel is a Beretta 92 Compact.

If you can tolerate plastic, the Glock 19 is beyond reproach.

I don't own the CZ, though I really like it, but I do own the Beretta & the Glock & both are really superb guns.

used Gen3 G19.

Sig P229. Slimmer than you think...

CZ is the way to go.

CZ75 PCR, P01, or if you want even smaller, RAMI

To me the SIG is bigger and heavier so I like the g19.

Great pistol, but NOT slim at all. Maybe you meant the Single-stack P239?

If small and slim was the requirement, I'd consider a single-stack like a G43, S&W Shield, P239 ( a little larger) or Ruger LC9 series ( I really like Sig's P938 as a micro-nine).

If a double-stack capacity is felt to be necessary, G19, G26, S&W M&P9c ot the aforementioned CZ are hard to beat. 'Plastic' is not a bad thing. Polymer is actually tougher than alloy in certain conditions. It took me a while to warm up to the polymer wonders after carrying my 1911s most of my life.

Nice pistol.

CZ Rami, smaller than the CZ75 compact and no plastic. It is basically a smaller CZ75. Mine is accurate and has not had FTF or FTE in over 500 rounds with all kinds of ammo and reloads.
