When it comes to pistols, people have a lot of options these days, and the wonder nine handgun has become a mainstay of the gun world. A wonder nine is a title typically applied to double stack magazine firearms, chambered in 9mm.
Two of my favorite compact 9mm wonder nines are the Glock 19 and the Sig Sauer P229. Now let me get this out of the way: I know the 229 is also available in 40 S&W and 357 Sig, and Glock makes a compact for every caliber, but these two are incredibly similar and fill the same niche. So that’s why they were chosen for this article, plus they’re my favorites.
Both are superb weapons, both are companies extremely popular with law enforcement, and both are suitable weapons for self-defense, target shooting and concealed carry.
But which is best? Let’s take a look.
1. Aesthetics
We will start with looks. Let’s say I walk into a gun store and say I’m looking for a compact 9mm, nothing huge, and nothing tiny. The gun store clerk puts a Glock 19 and a Sig 229 on the table. One is a well-refined machine, all steel. The grips can be rubber, wood, plastic.
