Best Ma out of the box sub compact 9mm trigger

[Philly3458]

Can fellow members suggest a subcompact 9mm in Ma that doesn't need a trigger job. I really have an issue with spending more money to make an Ma trigger feel like a free state trigger.

It's worth it to have a trigger job done on an M&P. And not that expensive.

Sr9c....I don't know about MA compliance, but the best trigger I've shot out of the box....aside from a buddy's Sig 1911, man was that thing sweet!!

Ma requires a 10lb trigger

MA does NOT require a 10lb trigger pull. That's merely the easy way out

It has a long trigger, but it's very smooth. A lot like a revolver trigger.

This. My PM9 didn't need a trigger job, but a M&P with a trigger job is still cheaper. Perfect for pocket carry. It is a nice little pistol

Walther P99c with the AS trigger is right up there. Single-action trigger pull is 5lbs. with a .3" pull and .1" reset.

Single-action trigger mode is available on the first shot after the slide is racked, and can be de-cocked with a button on the top of the slide.

Double-action pull is .5" and 10lbs. which is great for a carry gun without a trigger safety.

Edit: questionable whether this gun qualifies as sub-compact. It's not a pocket gun like the PM9, but rather is comparable to the Glock sub-compact models.

PM9, however it has no short reset but you get over that.

This. I can understand you not wanting to spend the extra cash just out of principal. Get a Shield with an APEX or a NES smith trigger job. (BEC/DERR etc.) after one range trip you'll soon forget the added expense. If not, you'll have no problem selling it.

Have you not shot a RUGER? They've got great triggers...

I'm heading to Bobs in salisbury on tues around 11am, more than welcome to try my Ruger SR9C.

my g26 didn't need one, but I did it anyways.

My PM9 has been very reliable, and they have a reputation for being reliable and well built. What really surprised me was how accurate it is for such a small gun. Recoils is not bad at all and you can shoot +p rounds through it if so inclined.

I really wanted something very concealable but I wanted a larger caliber than 380. I am constantly surprised at how good a shooter the PM9 is. It was a little on the pricey side, but worth it

 

[ColdDayInHell]

SR9c, hands down.

Yes, the P99c AS is available in MA, but they're very hard to find right now due to the change in how they're imported to the US. S&W was the principal importer until recently, when Walther opened a new US branch in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Most gun shops haven't seen significant stock of Walthers in several months.

Lots of folks here have positive reports on the PM9, and it does have a sweet trigger. FWIW, my father-in-law's PM40 is an unreliable piece of garbage, but I think his experience is an exception.

I'm a PM9 fan.

PM9. I love it and carry it every day I'm not working.

I'm a PM9 fan.

I also love my PM9. Very pleased that after spending over 700 bucks I didnt have to have a trigger job done as well. It's like a double action revolver trigger, long and smooth with a long reset as well.

 

[Philly3458]

Thanks all very helpful

 

[JohnMarston]

another huge fan of the sr9c here. just cant loose with it.

The Ruger SR9c and the P99c/SW99c all are OK but these are not true subcompacts. You're pretty much SOL. Not getting a trigger job on an M&P/Shield or something like that is just stupid. Even the free state M&P trigger sucks, so you'd still be getting one anyways.

You could also go for a commander 1911 or an officer's mod, there is no MA trigger BS with 1911s.

Still not in the sub compact class.

PM9 is the star of the sub compacts.

Have someone take you out to shoot a few rounds that has a trigger job on an MP Compact. You won't be sorry you did.
