The pistol in the photo is a Beretta Px4 Storm Subcompact, which is a neat little "bulldog" of a semiauto; a lot of people think it is too big to be a "real" subcompact and too small to be a compact, but it is very controllable in 9mm, and worth looking into if you prefer a hammer-fired DA/SA semiauto that is relatively small but still gives you 13+1 capacity. In my experience, it is less fussy about ammunition and more forgiving of poor shooting technique than the really small 9mm semiautos.

They are sort of hard to find around here, though.

The storm is a POS. First, DA/SA is very hard to master for the novice. You will see most earring the hammer back at the range all the time. What good is that on the street? The storm’s slide is as wide as a battleship in order to contain the rotating locking lugs-there is a reason this 100 year old design was never popular much.
13+1? The G19 is 15+1 and about the same size. The S&W M&P compact is good, as well as the compact Rugers,etc.
Resale on the storm is atrocious. You will lose your shirt. It has many people liking it-until they pick it up.
