9mm Compact Pistols in Review

With a goal of finding one of the best 9mm compact pistols under $400, I tested these 3. The most expensive is the FN which was previously owned and did come with 6 mags for $400. Range testing was performed with Hornady 125 gr HAP and 147 gr XTP bullets in PMC cases with Hodgdon Titegroup powder. Click on the photos for a larger image.
