Ever since guns like the Walther PPS and Shield came onto the market, I've been waiting for their DA/SA counterparts. I know this style of action has fallen out of favor but it still has a big following worldwide. I'm not talking about chunky double-stack subcompacts like the CZ Rami. I'm talking about thin single-stack subcompacts.
The closest thing I've seen so far is the Springfield XDE. Something is better than nothing but I just don't feel enthusiastic about this one. Reviews seem mediocre. The trigger could be better. Like so many other people, I hate the "grip zone". The next complaint might be controversial but I really don't like having a manual safety on DA/SA guns. Decockers are fine. Manual safeties seem totally unnecessary with a DA/SA system and they absolutely are something that can go wrong in a defensive encounter.
So tell me the XDE isn't the only game in town. What other guns could scratch this itch?
