Makarov?

The Storm is hugely thick. Not good for concealed carry, which defeats the purpose.

 

[jaypap]

you are looking for a Ruger Lc9 my man

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[Martinilover]

Smaller than a 239, with a hammer and no safety? That is available new at a gun shop in Mass?...Hmmm

I will take "guns that don't exist" for 1000

Have one already

That's what I'm thinking.

want a hammer not a striker

[Martinilover]

Found it. Not sure if MA good thoView attachment 957737

I think the csx is single action.

 

[bigred460]

My current summer carry is an Sig P290 RS. Very comfortable to carry.

LC9 is hammer fired, LC9S is striker fired.

You can get anything in MA either from the right shop or from the classifieds. They’re legal to own you just can’t buy them at Four Seasons.

If you want the CZ Rami you’d want the BD version which has a decocker not the B version which is 1911 style.

The B is still DA-SA.

 

[Martinilover]

Don’t think those have a hammer

Said no one ever, in the history of firearms.

 

[Blackmore]

My current summer carry is an Sig P290 RS. Very comfortable to carry.

Great choice, but isn't on their foking "roster".

 

[walter62]

Sig's take on the PPK style: Sig 232 in .380

 

[Picton]

I've got an old Vzor 50 that would work for this, too, except that it's in .32ACP.

I would suggested the px4, but it's near impossible to get in Massachusetts. I didn't know the state of residence.

I EDC my 45 acp full size just fine

 

[walter62]

The RAMI is quite large (IMO). Similar to the new(ish) Beretta Cheetah.

Although, I have a Tomcat and w/ the right ammo, it can be a 'carry'

He asked for a compact or subcompact. I wouldn't put the PX4 in either category.

Of course, I'm one to talk, as I suggested a gun without hammer...

 

[Fixxah]

My recommendation for a subcompact with a hammer:

View attachment 957866
I can’t believe we got this far into this thread without this kind of recommendation. You folks are slipping.

So, you are a mason?

 

[M1911]

So, you are a mason?

No. My wife is a geologist. That's her rock hammer. It was easier to find than my framing hammer, which I know is in a box in the basement, somewhere...

 

[fencer]

Looking for options in Massachusetts for a sub compact (or perhaps a compact if it’s on the smaller size) 9mm or 380 in double action only (or double / single) that also has a hammer. I’m not interested in striker fire .
Something that is easily available (not something I have to find used or grandfathered in).
Intent is a small concealed carry hammer gun. Not interested in mini 1911 style pistols (like the p938).
Thanks in advance

Why the criteria? It is pretty specific and I can't really think of any guns that are going to check all of the boxes. You are either going to have to live with a bigger gun, or live with striker fired like a Glock 43 or a Sig 365.

I understand where OP is coming from, last year or 2 been on a similar search.
This is what I've collected so far.

• Sig 290RS
• HK P2000SK
• Beretta PX4 Storm SC
• CZ 2075 RAMI BD
• Springfield XD-E

There are also a few cheep Rugers that may also qualify.

 

[Happy feet]

I believe the Fn Reflex (their newer sup compact) is hammered fired though it is internal

Single action only with a low-profile thumb safety. I don't think that is what he is looking for.

I understood.
I was implying that EDC'ing one of the bigger variety of it(outside of the SD) is completely doable if I can carry a full size.

So the sub compact (not as cool) or the compact are definitely EDC'able

Internal hammer …available WITh OUT thumb safety ….draw and pull the trigger no fuss no muss

 

[LT5]

-like it but it may be a bit too large for this use case.

There’s still p232’s out there.
Definitely antiquated but mine is extremely accurate and has been completely reliable for the 25 years I’ve had it.

H&K P30sk

The lc9 is hammer fired. The lc9s is striker. Lc9 is on the roster.
