I want a small 40 for concealed carry. Right now I have it narrowed down to three options: Glock 27, Springfield XD subcompact, and Walther PPS.
Glock 27 ~$505
Springfield XD ~$550
or
Walther PPS ~$650
The Springfield and Walther have added safeties which makes them slightly better than the Glock IMO. On the other hand, Glocks are indestructible, uber reliable, and the least expensive.
Walther: On the plus side that Walther is only an inch wide. Minus is that it's $100 more than either of the others and as a single stack, has less capacity.
I like that both the Spingfield and the Walther have factory built magazines which extend below the bottom of the pistol (flush magazines are also available). (You can buy a "plus one" for the Glock but it's after-market.) These magazines effectively convert the subcompacts into compact pistols. Also, both the Springfield and the Walther have loaded chamber indicators.
Thoughts? Recommendations?
