Full-size 9mm like a Glock 17 or M&amp;P 2.0 → <a href="#ssp-the-classic-starter-division"><strong>SSP</strong></a>. Same gun with a red dot → <a href="#co-the-most-popular-division-right-now"><strong>CO</strong></a>. Compact carry like a Glock 19 or P365XL → <a href="#what-is-compact-carry-pistol-ccp-idpas-everyday-carry-division"><strong>CCP</strong></a>. CZ Shadow 2, 1911 in 9mm, or heavily modified Glock → <a href="#esp-enhanced-service-pistol--when-you-need-more-mods-or-a-19112011"><strong>ESP</strong></a>. 1911 in .45 → <a href="#cdp-custom-defensive-pistol--the-45-acp-division"><strong>CDP</strong></a>. Revolver → <a href="#rev-revolver-division--wheelgun-territory"><strong>REV</strong></a>. Pocket 9mm like a SIG P365 → <a href="#bug-back-up-gun--now-an-81-micro-compact-9mm-division"><strong>BUG</strong></a> (now 8+1, .380 is out as of 2026). 9mm carbine with a 10&quot;+ barrel → <a href="#pcc-pistol-caliber-carbine--idpas-newest-long-gun-division"><strong>PCC</strong></a>. If you&rsquo;re new and own one 9mm pistol, default to SSP, CO, or CCP — lowest cost, biggest beginner pool, easiest to learn in.</p>
