Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Compact 9mm MOS/OSP ready?

Any of the slim compacts besides the Sig 365 XL and Hellcat Pro that are already cut for an optic?

G43X

Not sure how I missed that one.

Ruger max 9

I have this one and for $400 I think it’s pretty hard to beat. Slim grip, 9+1 with the mag extender, fits in a pocket, functions flawlessly, and is quite accurate. Don’t think you’d go wrong with a Glock or Sig either though.

Don't forget the M&P Shield Plus.

That was one I was going to mention. I'm surprised more posters aren't talking about that one. The M&P Shield Plus with 5 magazines (bugout bag option) for under $500 is a pretty good deal.

Shield plus is awesome. Now that they have the optics ready model in standard length, I think I’ll snag one or two. 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

Beretta APX-A1 Carry, it's a slim line but the capacity is only 6+1 or 8+1.

Any idea on real world price of the standard barrel length model?

$399-$449 on gun broker.

Those are actually subcompact. I assume most manufacturers offer such models. Examples are: Taurus, Canik, FNH,....

I would look for something that has taller sights that can be used as backup to optic. One example would be FN product. This is nice because you do not have to waste extra money like you will if you buy a Glock. To add insult to injury standard Glock sights are plastic.
Another example is someone looking for very good trigger on plastic framed striker fired pistol. One saves by buying Walther PDP in the first place.

Canik has a compact optic ready gun also for reasonable money, SPF-X-C or something similar.

Hellcat Pro. I bought one last month, replaced my Shield. If you buy one by 8/31 you can get the Gear Up promotion. 3 free magazines and a range bag for free. The pistol has a 3.7” barrel, and 15 rd magazines. A joy to carry and shoot.

I'd probably go Hellcat Pro also.

I went Sig P-365XL and Holosun 507K

Nice combo. Did you need an adapter plate to mount the Holosun on the P365?

Just put a red dot on a G48. I haven’t shot it with the RD yet but lookin forward to it. Never been much of a pistol shooter and the aging eyes aren’t helping maybe the red dot will.
