You can have only one 9mm pistol

[southfork]

One that takes 30/33 round mags, What brand are you going to buy and why??

I’m not married.

 

[Bottom Feeder]

This one looks good to me:

Got busy today and did the work and mounted my folding pistol brace on my 9mm Vector.

But is a pistol not better than a butt stock one??

[ttazzman]

A pistol with a long magazine like a 33rd one is a pain to actually use in my opinion...especially when regular double stacks can hold almost 20......a carbine style gun with a brace or stock is obviously different and can handle large stick mags....but I would much rather carry the smaller mags...swap times are fractions of a second if you are practiced....

Personally I prefer walthers for functional carrying...my old p99 still gets top billing for me

 

[BarnacleBob]

Beretta 92 in any of its configurations... reliable, durable, large cap mags, easy to shoot & handle, and 50+ years of spare parts. I like the Beretta even better than the Browning Hi-Power, albeit its a very, very close second. Striker fired v Hammer, the hammer wins hands down.

 

[<SLV>]

One 9mm. CZ P-01.

 

[hoarder]

Sig P226 West German.

 

[BarnacleBob]

Sig P226 West German.

My 3rd choice....

I'm in with BarnacleBob, and the same reasoning.

 

[Goldbrix]

Top 10 and he stops at 8 ?

@Brix... I'm a big fan of Browning Hi-Power, definetly want to look at the new Springfield Hi-Power.... I have a Springfield 1911 .45 Operator, prolly the finest trigger job I have ever felt on any pistol or revolver... would love to see a Springfield Hi-Power Operator some day...

 

[Usury]

Just being honest…if there could only be one then I’d take the Glock…pure battle weapon. Along with an AK.

So what is wrong with Sig Sauer P228 or P226 ?

Doesn’t hold enough rounds.

 

[TAEZZAR]

Doesn’t hold enough rounds.

13+1 Had a Glock, it fail me when it had a bad round of 9mm. Same day, same box of ammo, garage sale ammo, each Sig cycled thru the bad ammo & kept shooting. Sold the Glock, love my Sig's.

 

[Son of Gloin]

I’m with Bob, as far as Hi-Powers go. Love them and also the Sig P229SAO Legion, simply because of it’s single action operating system. If you’ve ever shot either, you would understand. Also, they’re both beautiful pistols.

I have to second the Beretta. My Beretta 92FS eats everything and asks for more.

Why in the hell would I limit myself to only one hi caliber pistol?

But, in an effort to support your question, I suppose a Beretta 92F is what I'd purchase. I think the quality and materials are superior to Glock and I like how they look. Plus Mel Gibson used one in Lethal Weapon. Oh, and the military adopted them for a number of years.

 

[wastrel]

This, the S&W 3953, actually is the 9mm I own. Yes, as a single-stack it only holds 8 rounds, but I have small hands and I've never found a double-stack I can shoot well. (I've owned a Beretta 92F and a Glock 17, as well as rented other double-stacks, and I just can't reach the trigger on them well enough to shoot accurately.) As well, this does not have a thumb-safety. I mostly shoot revolvers, and in a stress situation when I pick up a gun I will default to using it like a revolver, so it had better operate like one; hence my picking this as my 9mm.

i have similar issues....smaller hands.....i shoot a double stack just fine but with finger in trigger well ...i need to readjust my hand to do a mag change by moving thumb over for mag release....i fixed that problem with the walther p99 it has a trigger guard mag release i can use with my trigger finger and not have to readjust my grip for mag changes .....and allows for a double stack mag

I've been a Beretta fan since the first time I shot one. I have shot others brands and owned a S&W39 back in the 70s. I'm good and no longer in the market. Still do a test drive when the guy's pieces during get togethers. But I'm Good.

..can only have one?


o.k.


i'll take one of mine





they can come and take the rest...

 

[JayDubya]

Capacity is "only" 21 + 1, but this is what I bought my wife.

CMMG Banshee 300 MK17​

The Banshee has the radial delayed blowback system and the recoil is next to nothing.

That's gonna be a tough one to hide in her purse, but I like it for a chic.

 

[BarnacleBob]

I like the Banshee very, very much, but before I would buy one, I will convert my proven very accurate very reliable Beretta in a min or two with one of these available from various manufacturers....

At $562.00 I'd just buy another 92.

 

[BarnacleBob]

At $562.00 I'd just buy another 92.

Normally I would agree, however with this unit there are available adapters that allow the same unit to adapt & be used with 1911's, Glocks, Sigs, etc.... Kinda of a universal Ronin... think I gotta try one in the near future.

Ive had several over the years, never a misfire or glitch. Great guns, especially the pt92

 

[BarnacleBob]

Oh BTW, $562 is about half the price of a new 92 these days...

 

[the_shootist]

You can pick up a USED 92S import for that price. Solid value gun, fun and easy to shoot!

 

[rte]

1911, but If I'm reading between the lines?
You're talking about the one that the establishment knows about.
Any more that are off the reservation, stay off the reservation.
Sometime back I stumbled on a conversion diagram, Suomi m31 drum adapted to a pistola magazine.

Asking for a friend.

Good, I consider Beretta's an investment and protection all in one.

Got my eye on a M9A3, they retail arpund $1000.00....
