Is that one of the "Micro 9" series?

I love how rounded the edges are. Nothing to snag you skin on. I also have a Sticky Holster. That set I fell comfortable carrying with all clothes.

Guess you could carry a Kahr CW9

Checks (almost) all the boxes if you put an extended 10rd mag in it. (Which are available)

Again… not ‘true’ DAO… (same as KelTec pf9) it requires a partial slide retraction before the trigger will finish cocking and enable firing

I have several Sig P365 variants I like very much including a 365X, XL and X Macro - and would like to find something different for pocket carry. Looking for recommendations for 9 mm only with:

1. DAO or DA/SA only
2. No manual safety
3. Available new
4. 10 round mags minimum

Thank you!

While it doesn't meet the requirements you listed, my choice for a pocket carry 9 is the Sig Sauer P938. It or a S&W Shield Plus are my most frequently carried guns.

I pocked carried a Shield 1.0 plenty of times. The Plus dimensions probably aren't that different.

I'm not sure you can beat the Sig P365 or 365X. IMHO
However the FN Reflex is very close and has is hammer fired (internal)

I too have enjoyed the FN Reflex. It has somewhat replaced my 365 as an EDC.

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Get bigger pockets.

why didn't I think of that?????

 

[BladeZealot]

Get bigger pockets.

I went to 5.11's for this reason. Taclite pro series if memory serves

 

[Mohawk600]

Striker fired and already has a smaller 365.

Unfortunately there isn't anything smaller that's worth carrying in 9mm than a 365 imo.

the older M&P bodyguard in 380 may be an option. It's dao

I don't know......maybe a Glock 43?

all 4 of those are like the holy grail... I can think of compacts that fit that bill but not a subcompact.

I've been carrying a PF-9 for 5 years now. I bought it because it was the thinnest single stack 9mm available. It fits easily in my jeans pocket. Plenty accurate too.

Unfortunately, the PF9 was discontinued in 2022. I don't think KelTec has anything in the subcompact pocket-carry category any longer except the .32 ACP P32.

Bond arms.

I seriously want one of those. Unusual guns are my weakness.

I'm partial to 1911's. I sometimes carry a Sig 938 SAS as the controls mimic the 1911 so I don't have to think wqhat I am carrying should the SHTF. It doesn't make your specs but you should check it out just the same. If I'm not carrying a full size 1911 or Officers ACP this is my choice.
