Thinking HIGH -Capacity 9MM/40S&W "NO" Polymer, "NO Plastic..???

[Sourdough]

What is the gooodest High Capacity 9MM/40S&W pistol made out of metal. No, not interested in extended magazines. Much prefer large frame, firearm will not be carried on person. No, don't want .45ACP for this application. No, don't care why you think polymer or plastic is more goooder. The weight does not matter, but quality and reliability "SUPER" matter. Long slide would be a plus, but not a big deal. light rail would be a plus, but again not a big deal. Could be current production or terminated production.

How about the SIG-Sauer P-226?

I love the taurus pt99 that i have. Or you could go with the beretta. You could go with a S&W in the 59 family. You can get one for around 300 cheap. SIG is also good.

I have a Beretta 9000S. Great gun, but it doesn't meet the "full-sized" requirement.

I can't speak to "best" but of all the 9mm I have (6) I prefer my Taurus PT99 AF's. My 40's are all polymer, so nothing there that you are looking for.

Hopeak, I also own an HK USP 40. Good, solid weapon. No frills. It's just too big for me to carry concealed, which shouldn't be an issue for you.

Hopeak,

Check out the Beretta 92/96 series I have owned Berettas since 1978. They are full size, hi-capacity, no polymers, vertually jam proof, and is double/single action. I presently have a 92SB (9mm) and a 96 EliteII (.40) I really like the Elite II as it is the next evolution in that line with beveled mag well, adjustable sights and a better trigger than your standard 92/96. I put Hogue wraparound grips on mine(the kind with the finger scallops. I find that these grips index my hand to the same exact place on the gun every time). Hope this was helpful.

[Sourdough]

Thank you, you'all

Beretta, excellent weapon. Carried one for many years in some not so nice places. Great point and shoot weapon. Fits the hand very well. Reliable. Never heard of one jamming. I am not a 9mm fan, prefer 1911 Colts. But the Beretta is a great firearm.

Hope - you may know this already, but the Beretta 92 and Taurus PT99 are real similar. Here are the 99's that I have.

Sig and H&K are generally considered to be at the top of the heap, as far as all-metal guns go. That said, I have no significant personal experience with either.

I much prefer Glocks, Springfield XDs, and the like.

So what are you thinking of going with Hope?

As for all metal 9 and 40's my picks will be SIG 226 , any of the CZ variants , Beretta 92 , S&W 5906 / 4006. Take your pick. All of these are great. I own several examples of each and feel well armed with any and all of them. Sigs are pricey but worth every penny. The Beretta is a little better price wise but still one of the best ever IMO. The CZ's give you MORE than you pay for and is probably the best 9mm in the world--the most copied for sure ,again IMO. The S&W's are built like tanks and will last you several lifetimes of trouble free service. Don't overlook the Ruger p series either. These will give you alot of gun for the $ also-tough and reliable. Accuracy wise I think the Sigs and the CZ's are tops. They'll all shoot better than the shooter can hold though. Good luck finding just one you like. That's gonna be tough. Holy crap.....I forgot to mention the Browning High Power. Talk about a wonderful weapon. I don't have the time or room to go into how great these suckers are. We would be here all day. Best.

I have no Idea. none. I have to go to town this week, the refrigerator is empty. I'll fondle some then. I like that some have a place for lead weights on the front. Should help with muzzle jump. So that has slid into the must have feature list. Strange that yesterday the very event I was expecting, happened. So the weenie gun got drafted, for work. Like sending a boy to do a mans job.....

Now my curiosity is peaked Hope (get it peaked.....Hope?) as to what this event is.

Huh??? Wadda' ya' mean?

Now slightly leaning towards the CZ-75 SP01 SHADOW. but it has no lead wt. holder.

Crash, I am going to put it in a new thread, and hope only adults give feed back.

[crashdive123]

Figure the odds.

I just called CZ and had a nice long chat about my needs, and as luck would have it the Shadow and Tactical both have a rail for a Buick.....
