9mm Compact Pistols: Ruger, Springfield, CZ USA, and Glock

Recently, we received a letter urging us to test more deep-concealment guns, claiming that they are the most popular gun of the day. Checking with one of the larger distributors (www.camfour.com), confirmed that it is the subcompact and micro guns that are currently driving the market. In this test we're not going to evaluate pocket guns, but we are going to shoot four compact pistols that in are just one step

All of our pistols offered a balance of speed, accuracy, and reliability. But we must single out the $697 Springfield Armory XDM 3.8 as the best. Although each gun completed our action tests with good groups in the target’s torso and head. The XDM 3.8 delivered 10/10 hits inside or touching the A-zone, which measured a stingy 4 inches by 2 inches.
