Saw the - has to be 9mm - after I posted. You’d need a robust set of sweatpants to carry an HK45!HK45 isn't a 9. I can't find a model of SIG 225 or 226 that makes weight parameter (30 oz, 32 at the very outside). P365 is striker-fired, sadly.
It's not on the SIG website (that I can find, anyway). The pics I found look like it's a compact/subcompact or something. Is it available with a full-length grip and at least 4" barrel?
It’s 9 for men.Doesn't seem to be a 9. Epic Fail.
Second you on the Sig M11. Carried the 1911 all throughout my career including Desert/Shield Storm. As a civilian qualified with the M9 before going to Bosnia but didn't/wouldn't allow certain folks to carry. I thought the M9 was OK. First Iraq tour it was crazy and we would scrounge what we could when outside the wire, M9s, Browning Hi-Powers, etc. 2d tour the agency qualified me on the M11 and I loved it. Unfortunately, when I got into theater no more M11s to issue so I had the M9 again. Not complaining (much) but I missed the M11.
P7M13 isn't SA/DA. Epic Fail again.
SIG M11/P228 seems to meet all my criteria. I'll add it to my short list. Thanks!
You've cared enough to suggest a fistful of HK products.
Also, I can't remember the last time I actually saw one, new or used, in the Real World.
USP Compact if you want small; P2000 also.You've cared enough to suggest a fistful of HK products.
USP seems to fit my criteria. It goes on my short list. Thanks!
P9S also seems to fit my criteria--technically. I don't care for the concealed hammer, but I'll put it on the short list with an asterisk.
I don't care about small, just a weight in the 24-30 ounce range--and 9mm, 4-5" barrel, and "conventional" SA/DA operation.
I don't doubt it, but "Langdon massaged" keeps it off my list. Whatever I choose has to be reasonably priced and ready-to-go right out of the box.
yeah, at that price for a 9MM, i'd not go as high as my "up to" $700-$800 price rangeI don't doubt it, but "Langdon massaged" keeps it off my list. Whatever I choose has to be reasonably priced and ready-to-go right out of the box.

They don’t make the 224 any more. M11 A1 is as close as you’ll get.
Thanks! Someone suggested M11 above and I got it on the short list.
So how big a boy are you? You got small sissy hands or hams? Makes a big difference with us guessing.
The M11A1 is an updated version of the M11. It is essentially a P229, same size identical in most respects to the P228 with increased capacity and one piece slide.
