Thread: Whats your favorite 9MM? and Why?

Glock 17 RTF2, dead reliable,17 rounds, shoots like a .22 and sounds like an air staple gun.


Oh, and the SWR Trident helps out.

Excellent cyclesarge. I just got one of them Glock 17 RTF2 last week.

I really miss my old S&W M&P9 I got rid of a while back. That was a great gun, and I compare everything I shoot to it. But just went out to the range today with a new PX4 Storm full size 9mm. Ummmm....wow. My new favorite thing.

It kicks like my Walther P22. 1" double taps at 7yrds. It's like it's actually improving my crappy shooting. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a 9mm target gun.

I also tried the subcompact PX4 version for carry. But it was too fat for comfortable carry, and didn't shoot nearly as dreamy as it's big brother. Just sayin'.

Or rent one.

Cz75 or Browning High Power for full size. If I had to carry a concealed 9mm, the Ruger LC9 is a slick little carry piece. The Glock 26 is also excellent, especially with a Pierce Grip mag extender. If you have small hands, the Glock 19 is great.

For easy carry and everday wear I would guess a light weight 9mm like the G19, SW MP9or the XD series. I, however, carry a model 60 3" for every day use, however, my two finest 9 mm pieces are the CZ 75 and my CZ 85 Combat. Both all steel, circa 1994, and both deadly accurate. The 75='s 1.5" @ 25 yards out of the box and the 85 Combat will do 2"-2.5" all day long. Both fit in a Commander type holster and are a joy to carry on occassion; the problem with both, however, is that they are "full-size".

Of the few nines I have owned I would say it is a toss up between a Baby Eagle and and my 'new' CZ-75BD (Mis-marked as an 85 B) The BE I owned was the compact model and I never really got used to it due the shorter grip. For this the CZ wins in ergonomics but leaves a lot to be desired in the trigger category. The take up and drag is more than I care for but I believe my CZ had never been fired (or cleaned since new) and it is from the 90's. All I did when I first bought it was to spray it out with brake cleaner, lube it and pack the internals with gunslick and shoot away but a complete take down and trigger job is next on the list and we shall see what happens after that.

My FN High Power in 9mm! Over 10K rounds and its still an awesome shooter.
