Where to start looking.
These lists answer the question a reader has before they have a model in mind. Each ranks only on a field every manufacturer in it publishes the same way — which is why there is a list of the smallest 9 mm records and no single list of the lightest: makers weigh their pistols under different conditions, so that one is three rankings rather than a league table.

Verified 9x19 mm records ranked by the standard magazine capacity their manufacturer lists, highest first, with optional capacities shown where a maker publishes them.
Open the register →Micro-compact 9mm handguns in the directory
Every verified 9x19 mm record this directory classes as micro-compact, ranked by published overall length, with capacity and barrel length beside each.
Open the register →Lightest 9mm handguns, by measurement condition
Verified 9x19 mm records ranked by published weight — separately for each measurement condition, because a without-magazine figure and a with-magazine figure are not comparable.
