These pistols aren't compatible with a red dot sight (RDS), but are cheaper. If they're determined, it can take several shots to stop one.Ĭoncealed carry holster or quick-access safe.

Any higher and it's likely to print against your clothing. Any longer and it becomes hard to carry while seated. 32 ACPĪgain, for me, the P938 was the obvious choice.Length: 7.0-8.5". There are also some old 1903s kicking around if you're willing to step down to. It's cheap (not just inexpensive) with the problems Tokarevs have - an awkward sight profile, an awkward hammer (mine bit badly enough I had to build a new grip with a beaver tail), and the added problem of an awkward safety lever set high on the slide that must be pressed upward to fire rather than down. I have one, but I don't exactly recommend it. There is a compact Tokarev copy, the Zastava M88A. If Remington had ever delivered the R51 that they had advertised, it might have been ideal. There are a lot of nice SA/DA European blowback designs available, especially the Walther, the Makarov, and the Sig P232, but they tend to have stiff triggers, even fired in Single Action (actually, I have no idea of the P232's trigger). There really aren't a lot of SAO compacts out there. The two I've found most interesting are the Springfield EMP and the Kimber Sapphire. I wouldn't give up my 938 for one, though.Ĭlick to expand.There are some compact 1911s in 9mm or. It's not that small, but I bet it would tuck away nicely enough. 380, though, browning has a scaled-down 1911 now (complete with true, unhinged 1911 trigger). There's no significant difference between the three except that the 938 is scaled up just enough to offer twice the power. the p238 or the mustang, also a no-brainer for me. I was excited about the Remington R 51, until it turned out to be a bold-faced lie (put me off the entire freedom group - probably for good).Īs far as the p938 vs. I don't notice at all that it is plastic, and honestly, the plastic mainspring housing on my $1200 Kimber bothers me a lot more. I found the trigger on my p938 significantly preferable to a striker-fired pistol in terms of both weight and travel, but it isn't like a 1911 (nothing is). Sure, if money is no concern, consider the Springfield EMP or a 3 inch Kimber in 9 or.

No other single action with night sights in a full power cartridge for anywhere near the price.
When I wanted a single action carry gun, the p938 was a no brainer. 45 over it in a heartbeat unless you really need to put a SAO in your pocket.which doesn't seem like a great idea to me.Ī true 1911 is a nicer option than the P938 for sure in terms of trigger construction and pull, but also costs 200-300 more for equivalent features. And this is after 1000 rounds or so.īasically, I have one.I would not buy another.and I don't really recommend them. An LGS employee I talked to about them said they'd had a couple come out of the box at 11lbs. It did take some work at home to get the trigger pull down to a halfway reasonable 5lbs or so. The trigger is long and heavy, though a good trigger job would probably take care of a lot of it.
I shoot it okay, but I can also conceal a much bugger gun.Īnd the trigger is not enough better than a striker to bother with. Honestly, I'm probably going to get rid of mine. It is a LOT harder to shoot than a full-size, obviously, and the trigger is on a hinge.so it won't feel as good as a real 1911, no matter what you do.
