What is your favorite 9mm pistol?

[kx250kev]

Update: After a lot of shooting with my 92FS, I can easily say it is my most accurate and reliable pistol. It is now my favorite 9mm.

A Glock.

I started with a G17 in the early 80's. my son has that one now. It has shot thousands of rounds without a any problems. and he is still shooting it.

I went to a G19 in 1987 and carried it for 20 years, my daughter a retired Sam Barnardino Ca Deputy Sheriff has that one. It has also shot many a 9mm without any problems.

My wife has G19 for CCW carry and I have moved up to a G23 with an another G19 on order.

Can it be one we USED to have?

I once owned a real nice Astra 600 with Luftwaffe Condor Legion markings and a matched paten leather shoulder holster. It shot good too.

Just fired the PF-9 for the first time today, put about 50 rounds through it, a mix of three different kinds of ammo. Quite pleased so far! I only got one malfunction, and that was when I was purposefully trying to limpwrist the gun just as bad as I possibly could. That was a FTF, not a partial feed, I just racked the slide and was read to go again.

The gun is beefier than I really expected, much more substantial than the P3AT. However, the recoil is still pretty pronounced, stronger than I expected. Very snappy! It was very cold and windy, so I only managed to talk my wife into firing one magazine (7 rounds). She was not thrilled by the recoil, and did at one time accidentally press the mag released while she was gripping. I think I'm probably gonna want to add a Hogue Handall, put a bit more rubber between my wife's hand and the gun.

We've shot the PF9 more, and it is still performing well. I think there's only been one additional failure since my first report.

However, my wife does not like the recoil, it is too snappy for her taste. She also does not like the trigger pull. The Springfield XD9 Subcompact is still her favorite, though it is a bit big and heavy for her to carry concealed.

Sig P226, old school W. German with steel slide. Love my stainless P229 too.

I no longer have a 9mm pistol. My favorite was a Browning High Power that someone decided they wanted more than me. I hope he burns in....!

Aw man, that really sucks, like losing a good friend.

I always wanted to hang up my old, old, worn out, loose Crescent Arms DB 12 ga. at the cabin, with a little sign on it;
"Warning, this shot gun is unsafe to shoot, may blow your head off, do not steal."
On second thought, go head, steal it, load it up with some mag loads......That way all I have to do is visit the hospital, to figure out who the, ......
Low down, dirty son of a female dog, flea infested armpit-ed, don't know who your mother is, rear orifice that did this!

Figured I would just get sued............

Hunter63 that pistol was stolen from my truck in OK City about 25 years ago. The Browning was a good pistol, but I really didn't care for the 9mm's power. I went back to wheel guns and didn't buy another auto until a month ago when I bought the Ruger LCP for CCW.

I have owned dozens of handguns and shot 3 times as many. Hands down the best 9mm Pistol out there is the CZ75. Absolutely reliable and incredibly accurate.

I had owned several off and on over the years. I kept selling them to buy something else that I thought I had to have. I kept going back and now there are no less than 3 9mm CZ75's in my home and one chambered in .22.

I use a CZ75 with Hogue wrap around grips (other wise stock) to compete in bowling pin competition. My 9mm is suppose to be under gunned against .45's yet I spank the living day lights out of everyone there. This included the very first time I competed and that was against Grand Masters with .45 caliber race gun 1911's

And as mentioned earlier in this thread, the CZ82 is a great little gun. The 9x18 is no more than the .380 ballistics. 12 rounds of HST tucked into my shorts on a hot day makes a guy feel secure. The CZ82 has polygonal rifling and makes them extremely accurate. One of the best buys on the market today.

Who Cares...........Why get so up tight about a Little'Girlie cartridge......... (This is reference the whole 9MM firearm of choice, and is not directed at any individual post)

Might be girlie but I'll bet it's a tack driver, though.

I'll give you a thousand dollars for each 9mm round you take.

If you ask a Dr. which round is more lethal. He is going to talk about shot placement and not caliber.

Sigmund Freud had something to say about you .45 guys. Course you have .50 cal inadequacies.

[Rick]

Oh, yeah? Well, my magazine is bigger than your magazine.

Hornady +P hollow point 9mm ammo will take an elk at 80 yards. Not only will it kill an elk at that distance, it will clip a rib on the way in, punch the liver, clip a rib on the way out before lodging behind the far shoulder blade.

This particular animal only went 30 yards out of the clear cut before it bled to death.

[Rick]

Wow. It's not legal to hunt white tail here with a .9mm. What state did you take the elk in?

[klickitat]

Wow. It's not legal to hunt white tail here with a .9mm. What state did you take the elk in?

Washington State. They made it legal to large game with center fire pistols larger than .30. I've also taken 3 black tail dear and at least a half dozen grouse with the same gun.

And away we go..........

Lady to Texas ranger, "Ranger, why do you carry a .45?"
Ranger to lady "'Cause they don't make a .46."
Lady to ranger, "Well, are you expecting trouble?"
Ranger to lady, "No, if I was expecting trouble, I would have brought the 12ga."

I personally like my little Walther ppk .380, sort of a .9mm.
It was good enough for James Bond, seen him shoot bad guys at 100 yds with one.......

[Sourdough]

Oh, yeah? Well, my magazine is bigger than your magazine.

Easy there big boy, me thinks you have a little magazine..........snicker...snicker.

I have three pistols with BIGGER magazines than your little thingie. (The Sig Sauer P-556 pistol takes 30 round to 100 round "Bata" magazines. As does the 6.8 SPC AR-15 Pistol & the AR-15 5.56 NATO Pistol).

Naah,, not 50 cal inadequacies, maybe .46

I have never been much on theory, so a Doctors opinion in this issue would have no value.

As one of our members is known to say, "boots on the ground" made my decision (and the fact it always worked when 9mm did not), over a 30 plus year career in some not so nice places. But if we all loved the .45, it would be a boring world

And silly Rick and SD, if you need more than 7, you may need more practice

Paul334, You know they make a 50GI for your 1911's?

I am also a big fan of Davide. When he went out to meet Goliath, he took five stones. It's not that he did not have faith in God and one stone, it was that he had faith in God and Goliath had four brothers.

All in fun and jest.
