Wants: 9mm Simi auto Hammer fired DA/SA or DA only All metal, steel preferred but aluminum is acceptable Decent sights, no grooves in the slide stuff Magazine capacity 6 or greater Safety/de-cocker, don’t care S&W CSX would be great if it were not single action only Price not important Present CCW is Rohrbaugh R9s (Probably should accept carrying a revolver) Any suggestions? | ||

CZ P01 Omega. Kinda aluminum frame version of their CZ P07. Pretty good out of the box but outstanding if you throw some Cajun Gunworks parts in it. | |||

Does it have to be new? P239 P225 both fit those criteria otherwise The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

ACP-1, The pistol your criteria describe is the Smith and Wesson 3913. I carry the S&W 3953 which is the double action only version and after 20 years of use, I am convinced it is the best pistol I have ever carried. It is reliable, durable, precise, easy to shoot, just the right size, and easy to carry. I have carried Glock, HK, various 1911s, and Khar in the 30 years I have carried a sidearm, and I much prefer my S&W 3953. If you find any S&W 3900 series pistol, give it a try. Best wishes, Rushbeau | |||

That’s a tough list. CZ P01. I wouldn’t get the Omega though. Just the normal one. CZ PCR. Same gun basically. I have a Sig P225a1. It meets your criteria but it’s the same size as the above with half the capacity. Plus I tend to ride the slide release on Sig P series guns. S&W 3 rd gen’s. Love these. Single/double stack, pick your poison. Beretta 92X Compact. These are a sleeper choice. I love mine. It compares favorably in size to a Glock 19 even though it SEEMs way bigger. Metal frame is a tough one nowadays. If you were ok with polymer the CZ P07 is a great gun that meets your other criteria. It’s like a DA/SA Glock 19. Of the above my personal choice would be the P01 or 92X Compact. | |||

I was going to say the same. I have a CZ custom shop P-01 SDP (no longer in production, but Cajun and get you the same set-up) that is a great option. For revolvers, I like my S&W MP340. | |||

As noted above, if brand-new is not a requirement, I’d have suggested the SIG P225, SIG P239, or a third-gen S&W of the 3900-series tribe. I’m working with a brace of 225s acquired from two different fellow SF members and am rediscovering just how well they work for me.

If you go Revolver, Kimber K6S. Both DAO & DASA variants are exceptional.. ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

P239 would fit the bill, take a look at it. It's a cool little gun and don't know why I don't carry mine but I might move it into the rotation. | |||

OP wants hammer fired, but otherwise, the K9 meets all the other criteria. | |||

If looking for a single stack, i agree with the above responses. 3013, older p225/p6, p239 maybe a beretta 92 type M although tough to find. If willing to go double stack, check out the cz PCR. Its g19 size but the grip feels much smaller and more ergonomic. | |||

As has been often recommended: https://cz-usa.com/product-cat...s/75-compact-series/ Basic rundown is: 75 Compact - steel frame, no Pic rail, safety 75D PCR - aluminum alloy frame, no rail, decocker, lightest of the 75 compact series P-01 - aluminum frame, Pic rail, decocker P-01 Omega - same as P-01 but different trigger design that allows decocker or safety-only P-07 - essentially a polymer frame version of P-01 Omega. Oddly enough, the poly frame does not provide much of a weight savings, only around 1/4-1/3 oz. P-01 all-steel (99041) - steel frame, Pic rail, safety. These come out in limited batches, are hard to find and in high demand, and tend to sell at a premium. It's the heaviest of the 75 compact series. I don't know if they're still in production or still being imported (formerly by EAA), but the Tanfoglio Witness Compact 9mm is smaller than CZs, has a steel frame w/ safety, and shorter grip that uses 12rd mags. They're less expensive than CZs too. | |||

Fits OP's criteria, except that it has polymer frame. | |||

Classic P225 / P6. P225A1. P239. If you can get past a non metal frame: CZ P-07. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Thanks for the great responses. In my think1ng I had not considered going with a larger pistol. Went to my own safe and took out a CZ 75 Compact and a Sig 229 SAS. The CZ is about four ounces lighter than the Sig so will give it a try. Still looking for that CSX size in double action. | |||
