Magazine capacity: 6 rounds (flush-fit), 7 or 8 rounds (extended baseplate)Īccording to Smith & Wesson, the M&P Shield series of pistols has sold over 3 million units since its introduction, making it one of the most popular handguns on the US civilian market.Both add enough real estate to allow for a full-handed grip, increasing the PPS M2’s height and making it more comfortable to shoot. The shortest, flush-fit magazine holds 6 rounds, but Walther also offers 2 magazines with extended baseplates: 7-round and 8-round, respectively. Field-stripping is quick and straightforward, requiring no tools. This is achieved thanks to its high-accuracy polygonal barrel rifling and its internal steel chassis, keeping the fit between the slide and the frame snug and tight.Īll controls are easy to reach, and magazine ejection is positive and forceful, making reloading practice and drills easier. The slide and barrel feature a Tenifer finish for extra durability, protecting them against corrosion and increasing their service life.ĭespite only possessing a 3.2” barrel, the PPS M2 is more accurate than most pistols of its category. This handgun possesses many ergonomic features aimed at maximizing shooting comfort in a small form factor, including a textured grip, subdued finger grooves, front and slide serrations, and a 1” overall width, reducing the risk of printing. The PPS M2 is the second generation of the Walther PPS, introduced to the US civilian market in 2016. Aftermarket magazine extensions are also available.At just 6+1 rounds, you may want to consider carrying extra magazines or using extended baseplates. Some may consider the G43’s capacity to be on the low end, even for a pistol of its class.
In contrast, the Glock 43 features a single-stack 6-round magazine, allowing it to use what Glock refers to as a Slimline frame, with a width of just 1.06”.Ī difference in width of less than a quarter-of-an-inch may not seem like much, but when it comes to deep concealment, everything that can help combat printing and keep the overall weight down helps. It’s not difficult to see why because the Glock 43 has the high reliability expected of any Glock pistol in a platform that still is, to this day, one of the smallest and lightest semi-automatic 9mm pistols ever made.Īlthough the Glock 26 was the Austrian gunmaker’s flagship subcompact 9mm pistol since 1995, the G26 is often considered relatively thick, with an overall width of 1.30”. Two years of development later, Glock announced the G43, resulting in an explosion of positive reviews. But the question on everybody’s minds was: “Where is the 9mm version?” 380 ACP Glock 42 was released in 2013, most reviews praised its size, concealability, and reliability. Aftermarket magazines such as the Shield Arms S-15 (15-round flush-fit) are also available.Magazine capacity: 10 rounds (flush-fit), 12 rounds (factory extended).It is compatible with factory extended 12-round magazines or the all-steel, flush-fit Shield Arms S-15 magazine, extending the P365’s capacity to 15+1 rounds without additional height. It fits in standard P365 holsters, as the dimensions are virtually identical other than the overall height (0.2 inches shorter due to the lack of sights).Īs with the original P365, the P365 SAS comes with two flush-fit, 1.5-stack 10-round magazines. If you already own and carry a SIG P365, there is no need to buy a new holster for the SAS. The aiming point sits inside a recess at a very low bore axis, allowing the shooter to aim the P365 SAS as accurately as a larger handgun with more traditional sights. In their place are Meprolight FT Bullseye fiber-optic sights, an innovative sighting system integrated into the slide.
The SAS’ main feature is the lack of standard sights, leaving the top of the slide entirely smooth and snag-free. The P365 SAS (short for SIG Anti Snag) is a variant of the original P365 that was first introduced in October 2019, offering several unique features intended for deep concealed carrying. This pistol is America’s #1 best-selling pistol each year since 2018, becoming a staple of concealed carrying holsters nationwide. This pistol took the world of concealed carrying pistols by storm in 2018, offering a 10-round magazine in a subcompact pistol when competing guns at the time held, at most, 6 or 7 rounds. By now, most gun owners have heard of the SIG P365.
