The only handgun I own is a glock 23. I know I need more practice for sure! When I try to plug away quickly it seems that it is hard to get it back into aim to take another shot! I thought maybe a smaller calber might help?
Don't overlook the CZ-P01. It's a great handgun, not as small as the Kahrs, Kel-tecs etc but an excellent pistol that shoots as true out of the box as many custom pistols.
If you're still looking at 9mm compacts, don't overlook the Taurus24/7 cds. some say the trigger pull is too long, but I have no problems going back and forth from my Xd9 sc to my wifes 24/7 cds 9mm. (I like em both! ) and they are both double stack compacts! The Taurus feels somewhat lighter, but otherwise there is very little difference.
