Smallest 9mm handguns, by published overall length

Ranked on overall length, because that is the one size dimension every manufacturer in this directory publishes on the same basis. “Smallest” is not a single measurement, and the two figures a reader most often wants next — height and weight — cannot honestly be sorted across makers at all. The reason is directly below the table.

How this ranking is built: Height is excluded because makers measure it differently: Glock's figure includes the magazine, SIG SAUER's states no magazine condition, and sorting them together would sort two different measurements. Weight is excluded for the same reason and is broken out by condition on the lightest-9mm list instead. 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.
