What make and model of 9mm do you have? - Page 3

Kreyzhorse · May 28, 2017, 07:28 AM

Walther PPS. Fantastic shooter and a great carry piece.

Ibmikey · May 28, 2017, 07:38 AM

Rick B. For unlimited fun with your 938 get the short .22 l r conversion kit from Sig. Short barrel, concealable if you want, night sites and reasonably accurate as well as priced right ( I got mine on sale. For $200).

Brit · May 28, 2017, 08:09 AM

The absolute best carry pistol in the world. The Gen 4 Glock 19. But recent manufacture, not used, new.

TruGlo night sights, extended factory slide release. Cut the bottom corner off the magazine release, digs in to the second finger, good to go.

Carry ammo. Win 147g non plus P. Very accurate, excellent reputation.

IMightBeWrong · May 28, 2017, 03:23 PM

I would love to see a Gen5 Glock with the only changes made to the polymer frame. Bigger undercut under the trigger, no grooves, nor space in the trigger guard, and a different back strap system (the dimples for the larger pin create a hot spot in the web of my hand). Otherwise, functionally I wouldn't change a thing from the Gen 4 Glocks.

DanPop · May 28, 2017, 06:37 PM

If on a budget, I own a Sarsilmaz K2P and would never part with it. For double the price, I also own a Beretta PX4 Storm, very underrated. Cz's can't be beat as well as H&K.

dajowi · May 28, 2017, 07:41 PM

"Just curious as to what is being used nowadays."

Every Model of every 9mm pistol ever manufactured. Any questions?

chaim · May 28, 2017, 07:45 PM

I have had (but sold long ago):

Ruger KP89. Big, blocky, unergonomic, inaccurate, but 100% reliable

SIG P226. Ergonomic, fun, accurate, but not totally reliable (a surprise to me since it was a W. German made SIG)

I currently have:

CZ 75B. Perfection...Reliable, ergonomic, accurate, fun gun

CZ P01. Needs more range time to prove itself, but it looks like it is every bit the smaller version of the 75B

SIG P290RS. Love it, reliable, more accurate and comfortable to shoot than any single stack mini-9 has any right to be.

Kel Tec Pf-9. Not totally reliable, very uncomfortable to shoot, reasonably accurate.

If you are looking for a gun for both you and your wife to shoot, I will 2nd (or 3rd, or whatever) the recommendation you already got that you should look for something with adjustable backstraps or other grip options. SIG P250, SIG P320, 4th Gen Glock, S&W M&P, etc. As someone else suggested, I'm also a big fan right now of intermediate sized guns that are decent at the range and also concealable (SIG P250 Compact or P320 Compact, CZ P01/PCR, Glock 19, etc.).

hemiram · May 29, 2017, 12:17 AM

I have a bunch, all pretty great, no stinkers, limp wristers, etc, in the bunch.

1 Astra A-75. Amazingly great trigger. People are shocked when they shoot it.
1 Canik TP9v2, Nice grip, no problems. Not crazy about the looks of it though.
1 Sig P226, Ex NYPD DAO trade in converted to DA/SA. Looks a little beat up, but a great gun for $350.
1 S&W 5906. PR police trade in, looks almost new.
2 Tanfoglio TA/90 "Mossad" full sized, probably my favorites of all my guns.
1 Tanfoglio BTA/90 "Mossad" compact.
2 Taurus PT111 G2's.
1 Taurus 809 Compact.
1 Sar K2P. A great cheap gun. I paid $250 shipped for it.
1 Sar CM9 G2. Second gen K2P, great trigger out of the box. Another great Turkish made gun.
1 S&W 6906. Police trade in, looks awful, shoots great.

GarandTd · May 29, 2017, 10:00 AM

Hemiram, I never thought I'd want 2 of any particular gun, but I picked up a K2P for $279 and LOVE it. After 1500+ rounds I've had no issues with the pistol at all. I'm really tempted to pick up the CM9 G2. 2 mags + interchangeable back straps + aesthetic and tatctile changes to the polymer and slide all for the same price as the 1st Gen. Even given the lack of aftermarket, I'm amazed this gun doesn't get more press.

Dave T · May 29, 2017, 05:45 PM

We have some 2nd Gen G19s around the place but my wife claims two of them for herself. Guess the other is a back-up or spare.

Briefly had a G43, again intended for my wife, but she didn't like it at all. It's on consignment at local shop right now.

Ibmikey · May 30, 2017, 12:16 AM

I just counted and have only thirty six pistols and i rifle in 9mm....the rifle is 9mm Largo. I must like the caliber.

cobra81 · May 30, 2017, 09:33 AM

9mm.....I have three.
CZ75B: Love it. Solid, all metal gun, extremely reliable. Points well.

Ruger SR9c: Very nice little gun. For me personally, this one is the most accurate, and small enough to conceal without being so small I can't get a good grip on it.

Sig P938 SAS: Highest price of my three 9's, but a well-made little package. Conceals very well; in fact, lots of times I just slip it into a pocket holster, and it disappears. Accurate, solid, and I really like the 1911-like feature set.

**44 AMP** · May 30, 2017, 10:11 AM

OK, I'll tell, but I doubt it will have any meaning for you looking for a new pistol..

Mauser Bolo C-96 Broomhandle

Mauser P.08 1936 date

Walther P.38 ac 42

Thompson/Center Contender, 6" barrel.

hdbiker · May 30, 2017, 10:25 AM

LC9S PRO

hemiram · May 31, 2017, 12:36 AM

GarandTd- It is a great gun, and I don't think price even enters into it, it's basically a budget CZ P-07 clone that IMHO, I like better than the original. For the price, it's an amazing bargain, just like the K2P was/is. I hope the Sar Sr38 I should have in my hands today will be as good. A little more money, $337.50 shipped, but still a great price for what appears to be an S&W L frame clone.

Ibmikey · May 31, 2017, 06:45 AM

Morgo, You need a Hi Power Captain (tangent sight) to round out those HP's.

Morgo · May 31, 2017, 06:53 AM

I'd love one.
One of the old fellas at the club had one, he sold it when I was on holidays for a couple months or I'd likely have bough it. Like new, perfect bluing.....

claydoctor · May 31, 2017, 08:26 AM

rock185 · May 31, 2017, 09:06 AM

The 9s are a favorite of mine. I may not have as many as Morgo, but still enjoy owning a few. These would include Brownings, SIGs, HKs, Dan Wesson, S&Ws, Marlin, Ruger,etc.

heyjoe · May 31, 2017, 10:43 AM

Glock 26 and 43 and my favorite, a smith and wesson 940 9mm revolver.

tallball · May 31, 2017, 01:14 PM

"2 Tanfoglio TA/90 'Mossad' full sized, probably my favorites of all my guns."

They are fabulous, aren't they? Mine has "Cohai" stamped on it. The Israelis seem to buy good guns. My FiL shot it, loved it, and bought a CZ75. He was very annoyed to find that his had a slightly smaller frame and the trigger wasn't as good... but it's still his favorite 9mm pistol out of the 4+ that he owns.

I liked it so much that I also bought the 45acp and 40 caliber versions. The Tanfoglio "CZ-inspired" pistols are my favorite semi-automatic pistols.

GarandTd · May 31, 2017, 08:13 PM

Bud's had the full-size steel frame Tanfoglio Witness for $330 something as of yesterday.....wished I had the funds right now.

Seems like a pretty good deal.

GarandTd · May 31, 2017, 08:25 PM

Also, I'll be looking forward to hearing about the SAR sr38

waymor51 · May 31, 2017, 09:38 PM

i go with cheap but quality , canik tp9v2 - tristar t-120 - kahr cw9 all are in the 350 range.
