Those last-gen subcompacts carried 6 to 8ish rounds in a magazine and were better than nothing. Recently something new has hit the market - the microcompact. Guns like the SIG P365, Springfield Hellcat, and Glock 43x. The name is a little deceptive though because truthfully while “micro” sounds smaller than “sub”, microcompact pistols are basically the same size as subcompact pistols.īut where subcompacts might only carry 6 or 7 shots in a magazine, microcompacts stuff in 10 to 12 rounds of 9mm per magazine. “Microcompact” basically was coined as a way of giving these pistols a name to set themselves apart from the rest.ĭon’t worry, none of this will be on the test (there is no test). Familiarizing yourself with these terms will at least help everything else make a little more sense. Small guns are fundamentally harder to control and harder to shoot. You can bend the rules of physics a little but you can’t break them - smaller guns shooting the same caliber are going to kick harder and prove much more “snappy” on your wrists.Īll in all, this is a gun that sells itself. It’s the gold standard for a good reason and will never let you down. The slightly smaller version of the P320 and recently adopted by the military as the M18, the P320 Compact is exactly like its larger brother in every way - except slightly smaller. If you want the latest and greatest in military adoption, this is a strong contender to consider. The booming concealed carry market has generated tremendous interest in compact carry guns, and there are dozens of options when it comes to selecting a slim 9mm auto for personal protection. The winning gun(s) of the Modular Handgun Solicitation. The M17 is full-sized, and the M18 is carry-sized. Military testing proves the P320 can handle hard use and rough conditions.
From the first shot to the last this gun will not quit on you.
The grip is a little more 1911-ish in shape and design over the Glock giving it a different if not better feel, especially for shooters who are not already conditioned to love the Glock shape.
