No laughing here....

I carried a p32 as a 2nd handgun for quite a while.

I have a pf9 now and love it the only reason i bought it was i had a p32 basically given to me and it was stupidly accurate for what it was my father and i were both able to hit 32oz. gatorade bottles off hand at 50 feet with it.I usually practice out to 50 yards with my Kimber Eclipse custom II full size 45acp so i was very surprised with that little piece of junk

Sometime after the 1st of the year I plan on buying some kind of sub compact 9mm. I'm currently leaning toward the smith and Wesson shield. Thoughts? Alternatives? I also like the kahr but they cost a bit more. My other thought is a sub compact 1911, thoughts?

If you have larger hands do not go with the shield. I have a subcompact XD9mm and it's my daily driver. It's a little wider than the shield and feels more like a full frame. I have large hands and it's set up well for me.

At least you know the KelTec Pf9 worked for G. Zimmerman...........Too soon???

I like my Berretta PX4 Storm Sub. Double stack 13 rounds so it is wider. People either lover or hate this pistol but I love it. Will also take magazines from the compact and full size with the highest capacity mag is 20rds.

This was my biggest concern with the shield because I have pretty big hands as well.  But I found that it fit surprisingly well for me.  I handled a compact XD as well and the Shield was much more comfortable for me.  It will be my next gun soon.

I looked over the more popular and higher tech options, but found a nice little S&W 3913\3914 that I fell I in love with.  Great little single stack daily carry gun with range+accuracy and dependability (will take any ammo you feed it all day long) that is hard to match in such a small gun.  8+1 rounds.   I'm able to wear it all summer with a t-shirt just fine (IWB).  Just wasn't a fan of the 'plastic' guns.  Tried out the shield and liked it, but just couldn't jump on the bandwagon.  Kinda old school I guess.

Id stay away from any Kahrs due to dependability.  Customer service is excellent but in a small concealable why not just own a wheel gun as a single stack semi doesn't send anymore down range.   

I love my SCCY 9mm with 10rd mags.  Thank me later!

I know you said subcompact, but take a look at the Ruger LCR, it might just change your mind.

 Walther PPS all the way!

Do look at and try and shoot a Ruger SR9C. I have one and it has been trouble free (any weapon can have issues) for me. I carry IWB with the 10 round magazine and shoot at the range with the ten and a few 17 round magazines. For me there have been no cycle issues and it seems to like any ammo I have tried so far from some of the best to the cheapest I could find a few years ago! Accuracy is great and a good shooter did prove that to me!

Another vote to check out the LC9. I have carried one for over a year, light, skinny, feels great in my hand and accurate.  Only downfall is the trigger takes some getting used.  I would guess that in a hurry at say 6 yds or so I could make it hit anything!  Good luck, let us know what you decide on.

I have Kimbers and Sigs but for some reason I shoot the ugly Glocks the best..reliable and accurate..not pretty like my Kimber Eclipse but a shooter..also for a pocket gun the Glock 42 is a sweety..just my thoughts
