Pondering a new purchase


cope

Recommended Posts

So I have been looking at getting a new sub-compact for a while now.... not that I need another.... but by golly cause I want one hehe

 

The next part is taboo so close your eyes and dont judge as some on here have bitterness about the company

 

I was looking at the SA mod2 in a 9

 

had a lot of features I like.... not the least of which is the grip safety common on their models... a feature I feel comfortable with carrying condition 1ish (guess that would technically be closer to 2ish)

 

so I was at the LGS the other day and held one.... that is one heck of an agressive grip.... so much so that just firmly holding it started hurting my hands a bit.... or at least causing discomfort

 

any recommendations on a good sub that has a little better grip but similar features? a stipled type grip isnt my thing I guess

 

3.25" is the ideal range.... plus or minus a 1/4"

 

9mm is choice caliber for me

 

grip safety

 

would like to stay below $600 on it

 

most other features are negligible (perhaps)

 

just looking for thoughts on models to try

 

edit: I guess I should add that while I have smaller hands I prefer a fuller grip........ so something like the Shield is just plain to thin for my grip prefs

I have a XD subcompact, that I bought from someone on Illinoiscarry 4 or 5 years ago. I like it. They do tend to run heavy, compared to other guns of similar size.

Talon rubberized grip for the XD Mod 2.. $17, 5 minutes to install. You'll love it.

 

Or, Glock of choice, prob G26, with "striker control device" installed. A Glock with "striker control device" backplate installed, gets you almost exactly the same amount of safety, without the things people complain about with the XD's grip safety.
