The Sig P225 is one of my favorite pistols. This guy I follow posted a video about single stacks.

What are your favorite single stack pistols?

I love single stack pistols. Of all the handguns i own only the P320 im holding for my wife is double stack and it feels like a single stack to be honest.

I gotta admit, even though i love a classy 1911, my favorite and best shooting is the P220.

I did have a little fling with Hi-powers but even they are quite slender for a double stack.

Mine include
1911s
P220s
P6
Various .22LR pistols (doesnt quite count but still single stack)

1911s for the history, but find SS pistols other then pocket pistols, a waste of grip space when a lot of double stacks are damn near the same size.

The P220 comes to mind, but it is hard to beat the versatility of a Desert Eagle.

I have single stack hands.

Same here. I shoot my P320s, P228, P30s, P2000SKs and 92FS just fine. But my hand just sings when I grab the Walther PPS, Classic or M2, or the P365. But especially the Walthers. They’re just perfect for me.

I got the extra capacity spring and follower kit for the 8rd mag to make it a 9 and I no longer carry the 365, despite the extra 3 rds. 13 vs. 10 is a big deal, no doubt, but I handle the Walther enough better to make me willing to carry it even though I’m giving up rounds.

I rarely carry double stacks anymore.

Grew up with 1911s. Early 70s bought a Hi-power. Felt like holding a 2x4 (same as Glocks).
Sig P225/P6 and S&W 39-2 feels very natural my hand.
If I felt the need for a double stack, a Sig 320 will work.

All around? A 220.

P220, of course!

German folded slide P220. Hard to beat.

The P225 if it has to be a 9mm. Toss up between the P220 and 1911 Commander if it has to be a 45acp.

1911 To be honest I have never been much of a double stack magazine fed gun fan.

OOP's I think I offended my M11A1.

I shoot single-stack pistols much better than the wider double-stackers.

G43 is my current favorite, but I’ve kinda got a thing for 9mm 1911s too.

My all time favorite single stack is the P6. (Yes, the police trade-in version, not the P225)

I briefly had a P226. I sold it and bought the P225.

That guy's HK P7M8 looks great!

Ruger 1911 Officers. Superb pistol

1911's and then HK p7

This, for me.

I'm a fan. My EDC gun is a P245, and once upon a time I used to carry a P6 (still have it). I also enjoy 1911s, my new Ruger Mk2, and if I ever find a 92FS Compact Type M in a store for a reasonable price, it'll be coming home with me.

There's something about a longer, thinner grip that just fits my hand better than the more bulbous double-stack grips. There is such a things as too thin, though...or too short. I can't shoot a P239 to save my life, because the trigger reach is too short. Same for most of the micro-compacts like the LCP/Kel-Tec, and even the G43 and the Shield. But a full-size single-stack, especially ones designed around the .45, are just sweet.

1911 and then HK p7 and P210
