Just as an alternative, you could buy a Sig P365/XL, and then replace the polymer grip module with an aftermarket aluminum one from Icarus Precision (https://www.icarusprecision.com/online-store).
It would raise the price by about 200 bucks, but then you'd have your metal frame and slide, and a pretty unique pistol, too.
An Internet search and a bit of your time would reveal them to you maybe moreso than merely relying on this thread.
I would rather get recommendations from people on a forum, rather than a website trying to sell something. I have looked around and haven’t had any luck, even when contacting “sales experts” no doubt I will be researching the items people have mentioned.
Thanks!
I think what Glenn is trying to say, do some research and find those pistols that appeal to you, then we can talk about them. We can discuss their finer points, pros and cons, and actual experience with those you are thinking about.
Compact is a pretty broad category with pistols in these times. I do agree with you that going here will get you a better input and advice than some salesman is going to give you.
Someone mentioned Beretta but only listed pistols not currently manufactured. Here are Beretta offerings, centerfire models, non-polymer frame, that are currently manufactured:
Beretta 92X compact
92X Compact W/Rail
92G Elite LTT Compact
92 Compact with Rail Inox
3032 Tomcat Inox
Bersa TPR9C
Does anyone have experience with this brand? From Argentina I see, how is the support? Parts availability, warranty and so on?
Not familiar with that particular model, but we have two Bersa 380 pistols. Very decently made, decently accurate, reliable and were reasonably priced as well.
I do like the pricing.
