Title: WTB - small 9mm pistol
Post by: OldiesButGoodies on August 14, 2011, 01:52:58 PM

looking for a very compact 9mm in decent working condition, needs to have a flat bullet config in the magazin, not staggered, looking for something with 6-7 bullets or so,  but has to be 9 mm, not 380. If you have somethi g that fits this bill for sale please PM me.

I don't have one, but a Kel-Tec PF-9 would probably fit the need.

Polymer frame. Weight: 12.7 oz., Barrel: 3.10", Magazine: 7 rounds

You planning on holding up a liquor store?  Or, just for the occasional road rage shoot out? :o ;D

Thanks will check out the Keltec - trying to find something used if I can.   

No,  not planning on any hooliganism,  not my thing. 

I do buy and sell a ton of tings on Craigslist, and you probably know the range of characters you run into during those close encounters of the craigslist kind.  So I normally carry a S&W 6906 for personal defense on a Blackhawk Serpa holster,  but that is hard to conceal - like carrying a cannon on your belt.  So I would rather keep that for home defense and carry something much smaller when buying and selling (I am properly permitted to do so, FYI).

Thanks for asking.

Good report on the Kel-Tec here:

http://journal.drfaulken.com/kel-tec-pf-9-handgun-review/ (http://journal.drfaulken.com/kel-tec-pf-9-handgun-review/)

May end up buying one.

I agree withe the reviewer's comment in this regards:

"It’s okay if the sights are meh, that the trigger pull is long, and that shooting two hundred rounds in one session makes my hand hurt the next day. This isn’t a target pistol, it’s a people-pistol, and if I fire all eight shots in “real life,” it will have been a very very bad day."

I am not replacing the 6906, I am looking for easy to carry protection,  not a target-practice gun.

Thanks,

OBG

WOW....  Makes my S&W Model 59 look like a cannon.   :(

It'll be interesting to see what you choose, Pepe.

Let me know what works out best for you! I'm in the market, as I have been, but... money, yeah.

Plus, nothing says GTFO of my house like a 12 gauge.  ;D

The following video of a security camera at a bakery in Puerto Rico is very disturbing - so please do not watch if you would rather not be disturbed.   Two policemen are executed (essentially) by a bad actor.  The cop on the left made a huge mistake by not covering his partners flank and watching the other bad guy, who had his shirt un-tucked (gun underneath).  Reminded me of Tom's comments on Saturday about his memories of SWAT training - yo are assigned to cover an angle and no matter what that is what you do. 

You all saw how quickly civilized behavior disintegrated in   London these past month - that can happen here as well if things get bad enough.  That is why I love the second amendment.

I have no compact 9mm. Do have a Springfield armory compact 45 though.
