Ultra Compact Pistol

Mas,

In terms of the new breed of compact 9mm offerings, which of the following would you be comfortable with in terms of reliability and the ability to digest +P or +P+ if necessary?

Kahr
Sig P290
Ruger LC9
Diamondback 9

Weight and concealabilty are a factor, but so is ammunition versitility. Cost may be another consideration.

Thanks for taking the time.

I haven't shot the Diamondback yet, and haven't put enough hot loads through the LC9 and the P290 to get a handle on their longevity with them. The Kahr has been around the longest and the only one I've had an opportunity to follow with long term +P/+P+ shooting. Since they've stood up well, Kahr would be my personal choice for that reason.

Best,
Mas

thanks. Kahr has been around the longest and I haven't heard of them causing anyone any grief.

Take care.
