The Best Subcompact Pistols
Subcompact pistols, often referred to as "pocket pistols" in this country, are pistols characterized by their small and slim design. They are constructed in such a way that they easily fit into a pocket.
This specific design offers advantages to hunters, police officers, and employees of security agencies and companies! Since the hunter usually uses the pistol for the finishing shot, but a large bulky weapon at the hip could indeed hinder movements in the field, the small yet powerful subcompact pistols are the ideal companions for trapping hunts.
Employees of security agencies and companies, who often need to carry their sidearm concealed but always within reach, also appreciate the convenience and compact features of such a weapon.
Below, we present a few subcompact pistols:
Glock 26
The Glock 26 is a semi-automatic pistol in caliber 9 × 19 mm. It is the sub-compact counterpart to the Glock 17. It has a barrel that is 2.6 cm shorter and a shorter grip than its larger counterpart. Due to its compact design, it is also suitable for concealed carry.
Glock 43
The GLOCK 43 is the smallest pistol from the Austrian manufacturer in caliber 9 mm Luger - the slimline subcompact pistol is ideal for concealed carry, but it also has a capacity of only 6 rounds.
Glock 36
The GLOCK 36 combines the powerful handgun caliber .45 ACP with the practical subcompact format. The ideal backup or finishing shot weapon.
SIG Sauer p365
The brand new P365 sets the standard for all micro-compact pistols: with astonishingly small dimensions and a unique magazine capacity of 10+1 rounds, the P365 is the superior representative of its class. The weapon is compactly built and features a black-coated stainless steel slide.
Beretta 3032
The Ni-, Cr-, Mo-barrels of the Beretta pistol series Tomcat, Bobcat, and Jetfire are made from the hardest forged parts, while the slides are made from solid bar steel. The frames are made from solid aluminum alloy forgings that are just as durable as steel but significantly lighter.
Smith & Wesson M&P Shield
Designed for concealed carry, the M&P Shield Plus is the manufacturer's most advanced pistol in this series, equipped with a magazine for 13 rounds, all in a slim, micro-compact grip.
Walther CCP
With the large-caliber pistol CCP, WALTHER combines the convenience of a compact pocket pistol with the power of the 9 mm Luger caliber. The abbreviation stands for "Concealed Carry Pistol" - and with a length of 163 mm, a width of 30 mm, and an empty weight of 633 grams, this single-stack, eight-round weapon boasts numerous features typically found only in larger models.
