I’m liking it…it fits my hand well, single stack mags are fine with me and the trigger isn’t the best but better than the Taurus’ I’ve had and has gotten better with use. Its definitely accurate enough for its purpose imo as well. Its a modular chassis so you can change colors also.

They were on sale for cheap not too long ago. I almost bought one, but figured I already have a lot of polymer striker fired guns.

I'm in the same boat. I'd like to get a carry gun in a 3.5-3.6" or so barrel, but I'd prefer something da/sa. I have 3 striker fired pistols.

The Steyr C9 has a 3.7" barrel but a full size handle, which isn't ideal. Unfortunately the S9 is impossible to find.

I really want to get something with a red dot mount, but I wouldn't be averse to using a plate that fits in the rear sight dovetail.

I have a full size Beretta PX4 but it took the LTT trigger mods to make it acceptable, and it just isn't that comfortable in hand, though I shoot it very well. It's a .40 too.

Any thoughts on the HK P30sk da/sa? I know it's on the smaller side at 3.3", but seems more hand filling than the P365X. Seems ergonomic, which I like, but I wonder about the trigger.
 
30 minutes later...

In that I can't leave anything alone, and I was bored, I dug through my tackle box full of gun parts and grabbed the medium backstrap for the PX4.

I've always had the large backstrap on it, as I have large hands. The large backstrap has an extension up under the beaver tail. Enter the medium, which doesn't have the extra.

Whole different ball game. Not only (with the Pachmayr grip sleeve) is it much more comfortable, I have a feeling this will mitigate some of the muzzle flip of the .40. I had already had a recoil mitigating recoil spring assembly on it, so recoil was similar to 9mm but it still had significant muzzle flip, one of the things I dislike about.40 compared to 9mm and.45.

The LTT trigger is really nice, especially the da. Very smooth da trigger, no slack. If you start in SW there is a lot of travel l/creep before you get to the actual pull, but follow up shots have a nice short reset.

I'm thinking now about the LTT PX4 Compact carry.

I have been meaning to try all the sizes on my old PPQ to make sure the largest one is on there... I dunno if I even fitted it when I got it. The option is nice. Trying not to get into the pistol of the month club here again now that we are getting more options on the "safe" roster.

Check out CZ DA/SA guns, you’ll thank me later.
 
I am one of those folks that only wants a hammer fired firearm. I do a lot of DA/SA, but always end up back carrying a 1911, in either 45 or 9. The CZ P-01 is a very nice gun, but is roughly the size of a Sig 229 or a G19, not exactly small. The Beretta 92 compact is a good choice in that same size range, and you can order it through LTT.

CZ used to produce the Rami which was actually fairly small and slim, but they haven't in a few years and they where never that popular.

Probably the best feel and build for concealment in a DA/SA is still probably the older Gen 3 Smith and Wessons, like the 3953 or 3954. Alloy frame, and single stack to cut weight.
 
I think I'm going to go with a PX4 Compact. If I can't find an LTT compact carry, I'll buy a regular, I know how to do the mods myself. Well, except sights.
 
I've got some parts coming for my Steyr M9 soon, hopefully that will fix it. In 5000+ rounds (I've lost count at this point) it has never had a malfunction other than the fairly recent development of shooting brass straight backwards into my face.

I will probably carry the Beretta again today. Gonna go with the flush standard capacity mags, the extension prints too much unless I'm wearing something baggy. 14+1 or .40 S&W should protect me from suburbanites driving their Teslas talking on their cell phones.

As far as the da/sa CZ's go, they don't seem to make one smaller than my Steyr M9-A1. They have shorter barrels (3.75" vs 4") but the same overall length and height. Width is not a huge deal for me.
