[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1603567, member: 229"] The problem with these "Best" threads is that it depends on what you're actually asking. Do you want the most reliable? Then I would personally get a Sig - either a P239 if you want single-stack, or a P290 if you want a mouse-gun, or P228/P229 if you want something a little bigger. If you're not used to DA/SA triggers, then I would avoid most of Sig's offerings. You'll find that "the best" is subjective to who is shooting it at the time. Whenever someone asks a question like this, nearly 99% of the responses are fanboy posts about a gun that the person either likes or has owned (even my recommendation was for guns that I own/have owned and loved). You need to ask yourself what is most important to you in a subcompact: Reliability? Narrow width? Short length/height? Good grip surface for med/large hands? Low-recoil/muzzle-flip? Good sight radius (which usually means longer barrel)? Low bore-axis? High-capacity? Light-weight? Short/smooth Single or Safe action trigger? Ease of finding affordable parts/mags? Ease of finding holsters? ...and so on, and so on... As far as reliability goes, most of your popular manufacturers are more than reliable enough for CCW (Sig, Glock, HK, Springfield, S&W, Kahr, Walther, etc.), so it really comes down to your preference.
