9mm questions…
I have long been a .45 ACP fan, but I have recently been bitten by the 9mm bug (plus I can get 9mm ammo pretty cheap.) I want a thin 9mm carry gun. I used to have a Sig P228 and I sold it (in the early 90's) because it was way too thick to carry comfortably. I switched to a prancing pony, which I really like, but it is pretty expensive to feed for games/training.
The 9mm platforms that I have been looking at include:
STI BLS – I like that this is super slim, based on the 1911, and a single stack… but I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t have a slide lock.
Khar T9 with Novack Sights – pretty slim and a single stack… but it is a DAO and uses polygonal rifling. Doesn’t that make cast bullets problematic?
CZ 75 Compact – Seems to be a pretty good gun. I like the fact that I can carry it Cocked and Locked… don’t like the fact that is a double stack, but this platform seems to have the most going for it.
The last two should be pretty easy to get holsters for. I am not too sure about the STI.
Anyone have any of these guns? I am going to use it as a CCW and as an IDPA gun. Can they shoot cast bullets?
