Been looking to add another handgun to my collection. Looking for a compact semi-auto. It's going to be another 9mm as I have a shit load of ammo and its one of the easiest to get. Has anyone heard of or have any info on Cankin? Best info I can find is they are from Turkey and have some sort of agreement with Century Arms. Suggestions anyone?

I like my G43. It’s not an heirloom but it goes bang every time and doesn’t rust much. I use +2 magazine extensions.
If I was buying today I would look at the newer ones that hold 10.

Really like them. But I consolidated my pistols out of 9 and now the carry and protest choice is 40.

I like shooting my 19 but it's not a compact. I'll be honest and say I've been pining for a 9mm snubnose revolver. Have you considered a revolver with speed loaders?

I can’t reload a revolver under stress if my life depended on it. And I guess it might.
I have four. I love them. But for me, they are not the right choice anymore for self-defense.
I never found a sub-compact .40 I could shoot worth a damn. So for me it’s 9mm for serious carry and .357 for fun time jollies and putzing around up North.

It's a must have if you like the 1911 platform.

I own a Kahr Compact 9mm that would make a good carry gun. Also have a G19 that is a good shooter.....but would not want to carry it. I do not carry. I do keep a gun in my vehicle. I like revolvers and have one like shown above with a CT laser. I can actually hit things by using that laser. Also have a Ruger Revolver in 357 with a 4" barrel. Best shooting gun I own. All handguns I own are either 9mm or 357/38 special. Makes buying ammo easier.
These days I am liking my 410 lever action shotgun for SD. I've never shot hand guns very well.

I've narrowed it down to a Sig 365 or a Glock 43x.

I've narrowed it down to a Sig 365 or a Glock 43x. About the same gun... I'm pretty sure I've shot the Sig and thought it was a good feeling gun for a compact. Don't know the Glock but I do like their fullsize stuff. If it was me I would look at small differences such as the front of the slide... on the Sig it's chamfered, on the Glock it's square. I think the chamfered edge is easier to holster. Stuff like that would be the decider. Or go to a range and shoot both, one will just feel better making it the one.

I see one thing on the Sig that stands out above the Glock and that it comes with a really good sights. I think it's going to boil down to how each feels in my hand. That's how I picked all my bows. I narrowed my search and with the bows I had someone hand them to me while I kept my eyes closed. The
