Da/sa subcompacts

[kgraham]

I’m looking for hammer-fired Da/sa subcompacts, and wondering if there are some hidden gems that I am missing. I’d prefer something with a decocker as well. Handguns along the lines of the CZ Rami, Bersa tpr9c, and the Grand Power P11. Any other recommendations would be much appreciated!

Beretta PX4 Storm compact. Not the "sub-compact" , but the COMPACT. It's same size as a CZ P-01 . It has a rotating barrel system that is darn near indestructible. It is hammer-fired and has a decocking lever. Comes in 9mm and .40S&W.

You already named my favorite one. I'm a big fan of the decocker too.

I have a subcompact it's nice, she's a fat little pig.

So here is something I dont really understand about a de-cocker. All my CZ's (and others) are the safety models, and I just lower the hammer by hand if I want to de-cock it. But I still have the safety to use. With the de-cocker models, thats all you have. I feel like I'm getting more for my money-lol.

I ain't a fan of the de-cocker.  Too old I guess, I like the safety setup on the 1911 n CZ pistolas.  Simple manual of arms.

I have owned a Model 59 S&W since they first came out. So, I'm a fan of the de-cocker (and I'm old).

BTW... Leroy for President!

H&K USPs have a decocker/safety lever, it acts as both, along with the Springfield XD-E 9mm.

I have an FNP like that, gotta say I like it

I feel like lowering the hammer manually introduces more risk than not having a safety does, YMMV.

OP — Let us know what you wind up getting

[DonK]

Sig 938 is a good option.

[ken_mays]

Beretta 85

Arex Zero Compact

HK P2000 SK or P30 SK.

S&W 6906 or 3913.  Yes, they are no longer made but they also made a billion of them, so they're out there.  Not to leave out the Chief's Special and the other variants.  Even something like the second gen 469 or 669 would be a fair pick.

The Stoeger 8000 is a decent option based on Beretta's Cougar design.

There are surplus and newly imported Makarovs as well, but you're looking at either .380 (meh) or 9x18 Mak (ugh) chambering.

These are very underappreciated That's very nice I thought about going with the stealth levers but the originals don't bother me that much

But I'll tell you what the competition trigger group from Beretta and that trigger bar yeah it's unbelievable

I would check out HKs p2000sk or p30sk. I really like their p2000. It's very comfortable.

[LeeKnox]

The single stacks are most concealable and comfortable to carry : 

S&W Gen 3 of 3913, 3914, 908 size, 9mm, Decocker

SIG P239 in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig

Springfield XDE, combination Safety / Decocker, hammer fired, in 9mm and 45 ACP.

Taurus TH9C, TH40C are 1.5 stack, but pretty thin.  Safety / Decocker combination.
