Is there a single stack steel 9mm auto?

[BigFatKen]

I have small hands and time, like all things, has crept up on me. I cannot handle the recoil the .45s I shot for years. I have a 1993 Mitchell Arms Luger reproduction in S/S. It fits my hands perfect. It shoots well but I am certain it needs new mag springs as it jams. I still have not figured out what metric size punch I need and if I need the round or square springs. Can it handle the 110% springs?

I would also like to get a new 9mm with a single action capability. All I find are double stack. Can anyone make a suggestion?

How about a 9mm 1911? That should work for you.

Single action only? Or DA/SA?

1911s can be found in 9mm, Rock Islands are pretty affordable. Nothing else steel framed and single stack is coming to mind right now... Unless alloy framed is ok? Got a few ideas for those.

+1 on the RIA. Armscor makes a fine gun. Their full size tactical is now being served in 9mm

S&W model 39 as seen in here is a wonderful gun.

The only 9mm single stack all steel pistol I have handled is a Star M43:

Taurus Pt 1911 in 9mm
Single stack. Absolutely a soft shooter.

Kahr K9 - all steel, 7 rd mag, very smooth double action.

39 is alloy frame

 

[BigFatKen]

thank you

Thank you, one and all. I will at these.

1911 in 9mm is one I did not think of.

 

[dondavis3]

I absolutely love my Sig Sauer P239



Excellent conceal carry gun

Very accurate.

 

[Jbabbler]

....... yet not "all steel"

 

[ApacheCoTodd]

Gotta think 1911 in 9mm... Aren't Tokarevs and CZ 52's still around in 9mm? Lotsa steel there.

 

[GBExpat]

Star model BM (unfortunate, that) is a reliable, accurate, all-steel, single-stack 9x19 (I own 4). They are no longer made but they show up for sale periodically.

 

[sirgilligan]

The STAR 9mm isn't made anymore, but it fits your description.

[SharpsDressedMan]

Lots of older guns: Luger, Radom P35, Astra 600, several Star autos (BM?), Walther P-38 (WWII versions), some S&W 639 &539 (and their 952's), Beretta 951 (but the Helwan version is usually problematic), Swedish Lhati, Chinese Tokarev, Yugo Tokarev, Hungarian made Tokagypt.

A 1911 in 9mm - I would recomend the Dan Wesson PM-9. Also the S&W Model 952. Both are very accurate.
Another option is the Kahr T-9.

+1 Sig P239

Springfield EMP may also be a good choice. Smith CS9 (no longer in production ) as well.

 

[Jed Carter]

STI Trojan 1911 9mm, love the SIG P239 but isn't the frame alloy? STI Trojan, flawless reliability with a ramped barrel, lowest recoil and best shooting 9mm in my arsenal / collection.

 

[teppo-shu]

+1 Kahr K9 also Kahr T9 8+1 single stack

 

[Shadow 7D]

EAA (Zastava) M88
there are LOTS of used pistols that are steel framed

And my personal (current) holy grail
a Beretta or Stoeger (some tooling different Benelli sub corp) Cougar 8000

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

S&W 3906, if you can find one.

 

[dondavis3]

@ Jbabbler

It's not all steel, but is all metal.

Metal alloy frame to make it lighter

No plastic here

Actually I wish it did have a plastic frame ... it's be much lighter.

 

[squarles67]

1911 gets my vote

 

[trekgod3]

Star Model B or BM
