It&#8217;s not for everyone. It&#8217;s not mainstream and it has its critics. But a lot of people won&#8217;t have it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple: in single-action these handguns have better triggers than just about any factory striker-fired service pistol. Trigger control is important in self-defense situations&#8211;no one will ever say that &#8220;shot placement is sort of unimportant&#8221;&#8211;and a good trigger goes a long way to ensuring good shot placement.<\/p>\n<p>The trade-off is that DA\/SA guns take more training to use well. Carrying hammer down in double-action means having to learn two trigger pulls and carrying cocked-and-locked means practicing disabling the safety on the draw.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a trade that many shooters are willing to make for the benefits of single-action triggers.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/6-polymer-dasa-pistols-for-everyday-carry\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\" title=\"6 DA\/SA Subcompact Service Pistols for Concealed-Carry\">6 Polymer Double Action, Single Action Pistols for Every Day Carry<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Sharing controls, features, and often parts including magazines with their larger counterparts, subcompacts are the perfect companion for anyone who owns compact or full-size service pistol for protection.<\/p>\n<p>If you keep a DA\/SA pistol at home for self-defense or put in a lot of trigger time with one at the range, it makes a lot of sense to get a DA\/SA pistol for concealed carry, too.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve put together a shortlist of double-stacks that should be on everyone&#8217;s radar if they&#8217;re considering a DA\/SA subcompact service pistol for concealed carry.

Today CZ gets the respect they deserve and their products move.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s especially true for some of their more uncommon models like the RAMI. Designed from the ground up for concealed-carry the RAMI is dehorned and lightened, with low-profile controls including the safety and slide lever on the standard model.<\/p>\n<p>It even has minimalist grips that make the already slender frame even smaller in the hand and on the waist&#8211;the RAMI is one of the smallest double-stack subcompacts out there; it even makes some polymer pistols look beefy by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>The RAMI is currently offered in two models, the original 2075 RAMI with a thumb safety and the 2075 RAMI BD with a decocker. The safety model is offered in 9mm and .40 S&amp;W where the decocker model is strictly 9mm.<\/p>\n<p>In 9mm the RAMI holds 10+1 with flush magazines and 14+1 with the included extended spare magazine.<\/p>\n<p>RAMI pistols are priced in the middle of the pack, around $550, give or take.

Developed for military, police and special forces these service pistols were until recently built by hand to demanding specifications, including high accuracy requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The SDP series is the Sphinx Systems&#8217; first mass-produced product, designed to make them more affordable to the general public. They are still built to high standards and have the fit and finish of semi-custom production guns with match components and tuned and polished triggers.<\/p>\n<p>Mechanically they&#8217;re similar to the CZ pattern, but Sphinx takes things to new heights with their sleek, snag-free design and swept controls. The SDP Subcompact features a hybrid frame with an alloy subframe and a polymer grip module that has a medium grip texture and no accessory rail for a snag-free draw.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a DA\/SA decocker pistol with ambidextrous decocker levers and a bobbed hammer and beavertail for improved concealment. Like the decocker levers the sights are swept and maintain a low profile.<\/p>\n<p>The cutting edge sports a price premium, though. The Sphinx SDP Subcompact starts at around $900 to $1,000 and parts and accessories are harder to come by. Fortunately magazines can be purchased directly from Kriss USA and holster support is getting stronger every day.<\/p>\n<p>Shop for Sphinx SDP pistols at GunsAmerica.com: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=sdp\" campaign=\"Kriss USA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=sdp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you keep a DA\/SA pistol at home for self-defense or range use it makes a lot of sense to get a DA\/SA subcompact pistol for concealed-carry, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":55650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[340,461],"tags":[363,138,187,288,483,132,160,102,524,707,58,588],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-55576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-columns-ccw-edc","8":"category-max-slowik","9":"tag-40sw","10":"tag-45-acp","11":"tag-9mm","12":"tag-beretta","13":"tag-bersa","14":"tag-buzz","15":"tag-cz","16":"tag-feature-articles","17":"tag-heckler-koch","18":"tag-px4-storm","19":"tag-sig-sauer","20":"tag-sphinx"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>6 DA\/SA Subcompact Service Pistols for Concealed-Carry<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"6 DA\/SA Subcompact Service Pistols for Concealed-Carry -\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"6 DA\/SA Subcompact Service Pistols for Concealed-Carry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If you keep a DA\/SA pistol at home for self-defense or range use it makes a lot of sense to get a DA\/SA subcompact pistol for concealed-carry, too.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-04-08T20:04:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T14:15:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/6-da-sa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Max Slowik\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Max Slowik\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"8 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Max Slowik\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/365773571c3a556d511b67a4b04184bd\"},\"headline\":\"6 DA\\\/SA Subcompact Service Pistols for Concealed-Carry\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-04-08T20:04:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-19T14:15:14+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1595,\"commentCount\":46,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/6-dasa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/6-da-sa-subcompacts-for-concealed-carry.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\".40S&amp;W\",\".45 ACP\",\"9mm\",\"Beretta\",\"Bersa\",\"Buzz\",\"CZ\",\"Feature Articles\",\"Heckler &amp;
