I am looking for a compact or sub compact 9mm, I don't really know the technical differences. Smaller, more concealable obviously. I would like there to be some kind of safety, looks wouldn't hurt, and a mag capacity of 12 round is preferable, 10 acceptable.
Specifically, does anyone know the differences in size between say a Stoegar cougar and a Bersa Thunder 9 pro sub compact? I owned the former, originally for CCW on my out of state permits, but the Cougar is pretty large.
I am looking hard at the Bersa, having owned their 22 Thunder and currently still own their 380 Thunder. Exceptional guns, you get much more than you pay for.
I was also looking at SW 6906 or the single stack version, but they do have some serious heft. Not ruling them out but I don't like ultra thick grips, the 5906/6906 is pretty dang thick.
If anyone has owned a Bersa thunder 9 compact and a stoegar/beretta cougar I would love to know if the Bersa is much smaller. Also, if I am missing anything here, I would take recommendations!
Should say, also tried the G26- accurate gun, way more so then the 17s I used to have....but I can't get comfortable with a round in the chamber and a safety on the trigger. Just my own deal. Read too many horror stories about reholstering, accidents, and just seen too much of that happening in the trained LEO market which utilizes them. I like a manual safety.
Also tried the Beretta 9000 but that grip is fubar.
