Compact 9mm pistols

[Honda]

Anybody here carry one. If so do you experience any striker drag on the primer?

[UTAH]

I've carried assorted 9's for years, as has my wife. My current 9mm is a Sig. Most of my past 9's were S&W. Wifey carried a Glock for a while on the job. No problems to report.

Everyone should carry what they're comfortable, and confident with...I've always remembered Col. Jeff Cooper who said, "One hit with a .45 is worth a thousand misses with a nine"...He was quite a character...I got to meet him and one of his daughters at a SHOT Show one year when theyt were promoting his autobiography which they co-wrote...

Tom, by "striker drag on the primer," are you referring to a misfire?...I'm not familiar with the term......Ben

No Ben is not a misfire it's where the firing pin stays out for a microsecond during the ejection process and makes contact with the primer after the bullet has been fired and it makes a drag mark to the edge of the primer. Many believe overtime that the firing pin will weaken and may eventually break

I haven't heard of that one, but I haven't kept up with the industry since I left the business......Ben

This is the first I've heard of it. There seems to be a lot on the 'net.
