S&W offers ported-barrel options, as well as models with or without a thumb safety, and a longer-barreled variant. In addition, it fits nearly all original Shield holsters, so you don’t have to spend money there if you’re already a fan of the platform. The S&W Shield is a proven design and the new double-stack Shield Plus looks to be just as reliable. The grip has a somewhat boxy grip cross-section with a 1911-style 18-degree grip angle. The Ruger comes with a pinkie-extension, extended baseplate in the box, which allows larger-handed shooters to get all of their fingers on the grip, making for a better shooting experience generally, with the obvious tradeoff that it effectively makes the grip longer and more difficult to conceal, particularly if you choose to pocket carry.

The frame is a tad longer top to bottom than some others, with an overall height of 4.7-inches, but that allows you to get a full firing grip with the flush-fit 10-round magazine in place, and the ergonomics are fairly good. Like many other pistols in this category, the Max-9 is a polymer-framed, striker-fired 9mm with a barrel length of 3.2-inches, an overall length of 6inches, and a weight of 18.4 ounces unloaded.
New sig 9mm update#
Ruger had a fairly large success with their single-stack LC9 and LC9s CCW pistols (now discontinued but a bargain-basement version is still available in the EC9s), so it was ostensibly a fairly simple process to upgrade, widen, and update the platform for the new micro-compact double-stack Max-9, released in March 2021. Let’s dive in and discuss the pros and cons of some of the major players in this hot new concealed-carry space, and help you decide what might be the best micro-compact pistol for you. The better offerings will have real, usable sights, a shootable trigger, options for thumb safeties, ambidextrous controls if possible, and the facility to mount a micro red dot optic on the slide. Crucially, the width should not be greater than a few thousandths over one inch at its widest point. Weight should be around 21 ounces or less unloaded, the length should be around 6-inches or less (for the smallest core models), with an overall height of 4.5-inches or less. The pistol needs to hold at least 10 rounds of 9mm Parabellum ammunition, and more is better. Generally, to qualify as a micro-compact high-capacity 9mm carry pistol, a gun needs to be very small for its capacity. What is the best micro-compact 9mm CCW pistol?įirst, let’s define some common characteristics among this new category of a defensive carry pistol.
