Micro-compact 9mm handguns in the directory

The micro-compact class as this directory normalizes it, ranked by published overall length. The class is the directory's own normalization of what each maker calls its smallest frame — Glock's “Compact Slimline” and “Subcompact”, SIG SAUER's and Springfield's “Micro-Compact” — so the label is comparable even where the makers' words are not.

How this ranking is built: Frame class is assigned from the maker's own published size label, never inferred from measurements. A record whose maker publishes no size class is not placed in one, which is why some 9 mm records appear on no class list at all. Only source-verified records appear, every figure is the manufacturer's published one shown in both unit systems, and values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the system the source published.
