I’m out of touch on what cool kids like.
What’s the most hipster handgun you can think of.

HK P7 M8 should be in the running…

P7 is a strong contender.
How about the Bren Ten?
-Weird caliber that the hipster thinks is better than yours
-Old enough design that the hipster can claim to have liked it before it was cool
-Exclusive, expensive, hard to find, not made anymore etc.
-Esoteric: you probably haven’t heard of it
-Kinda ugly and funky. The hipster can claim some kind of elevated aesthetic appreciation that you probably don’t understand
Alternative: A Sphinx or one of those Swiss Phoenix pistols, but I might be a hipster because those look pretty sweet.

When I think of the term "hipster", I think of technically savvy, politically progressive and fashionable in a off-beat way that is both counter-cultural and conformist to a narrow band of fashion. Perhaps a true hipster who also is into guns is rare, but is also a person who makes well thought out choices.
If my hypothesis of "Hipsterism" is correct, a hipster would carry a 9mm TDA or LEM pistol in a good AIWB holster, get training and plenty of good practice.
Sounds like a guy, girl or "they" with a CZ, HK or TDA SIG that pronounces the CZ as "Česká zbrojovka" in proper Czech or maybe Polish. Not exactly somebody who lives in ignorance or lack of useful resources.

Looks like HK did make the P9S in .30 Luger, for the Italian market. 9x19 was banned, in those days.

The Sig P220’s I saw over there were either in .45 HP or 9mm Steyr. Both of those are pretty hipster. 9mm Steyr probably makes the most sense, of those two choices.
