 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. I had a viewer request a comparison with double stack 9mm handguns with single stack 9mm handguns and I thought it would be cool to throw a bunch on the table and check them out and just compare the length of the slide, the grip and the capacity of these handguns. Let's start right here with the Glock 26. Very popular model holds 10 rounds and here's an MMP shield. We'll go ahead and check out the slide length pretty similar a little longer with the G26 and that's where you're going to notice the difference. It's a little thicker with or shall I say wider with the the grip 10 rounds versus 8 in the current setup also has a 7 round magazine with the shield but the grip length is approximately the same so we've got a 10 round capacity in the mag and an 8 round capacity here. Many people wonder well which would be easier to carry well that's a that's a preference thing. I can't say exactly what would be easier. Here we've got a diamond back you know the reason I say that's because some people it doesn't matter they don't care people carry full size 1911's diamond back db9 gen4 and over here we've got a torus g3c all right we will notice a big difference now this diamond back is among the smallest in the single stack 9 millimeter class that's that's a good inch longer a bit wider on the slide and check that out now here we're looking at a 12 plus 1 here we're looking at a 6 plus 1 so double the capacity I would say double the weight of those two handguns but that's what we're looking at when we compare it let's check out how about this here we've got a walther ppq subcompact holds 10 rounds in the mag over here we've got a car pm9 all right this too is one of the smallest and lightest single stack 9 millimeters out there we will see a once again a one inch longer slide but we're going to see a large difference with the grip width and the length is approximately the same 10 plus 1 with the ppq subcompact 6 plus 1 with the pm9 how about a little bit of a larger single stack 9 here is a another walther it's a ccpm2 that's a single stack holds 8 rounds let's go with the let's go with the hellcat all right springfield hellcat currently it has an 11 round magazine and that's what we're looking at they're longer with the single stack so it's not a you know the single stacks are not always smaller they're not always lighter and it all depends on the model and that's pretty obvious but it's worth saying when there are so many guns on the table check that out every bit of three quarters of an inch longer with the ccpm2 and here we're looking at an eight round capacity on the left with the walther ccpm2 versus the 11 rounds with the springfield armory hellcat on the right how about a how about a sig p 365 let's check that out with the car p9 all right now here we've got a three and a half inch barrel here we've got a 3.1 inch barrel 12 round capacity with that extended mag seven round capacity if we look at the slide length we're going to see a little bit longer with the longer barrel car p9 right the slide width is looks looks pretty similar to me that looks very similar but over here we'll see a a wider grip and so people want a very slender carry they don't want anything bulging in their pants and for those that carry iwb and so the the car would make a nice ccw gun it has for for many years for me and of course the additional magazine capacity with the p 365 is always nice 12 rounds versus seven let's do another one here here we've got a torus gx4 all right very similar let's take a look at the diamond back once again we've got the gx4 on the right the diamond back db9 on the left and we'll see that there's not a great difference about a quarter inch longer with the gx4 slide width maybe a hair thinner with the db9 but there's where you're going to see the greatest difference this would make a difference for pocket carriers that thickness right there they might just feel that the the smaller lighter and thinner db9 would be a better choice while we've got the gx4 out let's do that with the shield we'll do the exact same thing now the shield and the gx4 i hope i said that right i'm i'm throwing a lot of gun names out there it's getting a little bit confusing i hope this is recording right but we'll see that there's not a great difference on the slide length a little longer with the shield all right and then that's what we're looking at there once again eight rounds and here we've got with the gx4 11 rounds in the current mag setup but a much thicker grip i hope this helps i think i hit every gun on the table but you know if we look at the the width and the the weight which we did not do because i didn't want to make a 20 minute video here we will see that the single stack 9s are for the most part a lighter gun they're thinner they're lighter it makes sense it's a single stack the double stacks have the capacity advantage and that's what a lot of people are looking for you know it all it all depends on what fits you your clothing style your carry style the best but i have to say as the owner of all these guns i certainly enjoyed bringing them bringing them all out and now i have to put them all back if you like videos like this please subscribe and share i always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
