Jay G. has posted a roundup of compact and subcompact 9mm pistols …
Only very recently – the past decade or so – have we seen the proliferation of the very small, nearly pocketable 9mm carry gun. The Kel-Tec PF9 has been out since 2006; other than that the market for light, compact single stack 9mm handguns has been fairly light. Advances in frame construction have given firearms manufacturers the opportunity to release firearms hardly larger than 380s that are chambered in 9mm, leading to an explosion in this particular market segment.
