Most guns have much thinner slides than frames and my hunch is that there is far less variability in slide width, so measuring by the slides can be misleading. If I gather the measurement myself, I try to take the width measurement at a point on the frame that represents the most common width on that frame. I deferred to manufacturer width for the most part. Width – How wide is the gun? This is tricky because guns vary in width.Sta ck – Is it a single or double stack magazine? (Today, we are talking double stack 9mms only).Model – The model of the gun from that manufacturer.If it is white, it means that the measurements were taken from the source listed in the “Source” column. Note, if a row in the chart is yellow, it means that a TFB writer or viewer/reader has verified the measurements themselves. If you would prefer a video explanation of how I determined which guns are the most efficient, the “6 Most Practical Double Stack 9mm Handguns” video is below, and the first 10 minutes of the video is a detailed explanation of the chart and scoring.īut if you’d prefer digital ink and paper, then let’s go over the columns of the chart together. 380s.Īfter almost four years of accumulating and organizing data, this chart is pretty close to a definitive answer to the question: “what is the most efficient compact handgun?”Īt the time of publishing, the chart will be for compact 9mm handguns only.380ACP will be added in the next couple of weeks. I scored and ranked over 120 different 9mm handguns and several dozen. I started compiling a chart to track the most efficient compact handguns, and eventually developed a scoring system that factored in size and weight against capacity. In late 2016, I started going to manufacturers’ websites and collecting data – weight, width, height, length, and capacity of different guns.

Richard Douglas writes on firearms, defense, and security issues. I’d say if it sounds right for you, go ahead purchase it. It’ll only run you $430 if you want to buy it brand-new, but you’ll probably be able to find it cheaper. Outside of that, you can expect top-tier reliability and razor-sharp accuracy out of the M2. You can buy 7 and 8 round magazines, but I still find that a little bit on the low side.
The Walther PPS M2 is a fantastic pistol, but just know you’ll only have 6 rounds to work with initially. I didn’t have a single problem, even during its break-in period. That includes top-shelf brass and bottom-of-the-barrel bulk rounds.
I shot over 1000 rounds through this pistol. Most mid-tier handguns do end up being reliable, but I still need to give credit where it’s due. Either way, the button magazine release was a welcome change for plenty of Walther fans. A lot of people weren’t fond of it I was pretty indifferent. Walther has also changed their lever-style mag release to a button. It still fits comfortably in my hand and the grip texturing works well even if it’s a little bit of an eyesore. It’s pretty top-heavy as well despite it only weighing 20oz with an empty magazine. It’s small in stature but lands a little on the chunky side proportionally. My first impression of the Walther PPS M2 was wow, that is an ugly pistol. Keep reading if you want to know the nitty-gritty on the Walther PPS M2. Sure it’s a little bit of a butterface, but it’s still solid. Outside of that though, the PPS M2 is an excellent firearm that exceeds in basically every other category you could ask for. Because of that, the Walther PPS M2 isn’t my first choice for concealed carry. If you’re like me, you prefer having plenty of rounds on hand, especially if you’re carrying concealed.
