Next 9mm handgun?

[Tula47]

I've decided to get out of the .45acp game and just focus on 9mm and .357/.38spl. So, I'm looking for a replacement for my 1911. I was thinking about a 9mm 1911, S&W 5909, a CZ75 or maybe another Sig? I don't like Glocks, so that isn't an option. I like odd ball guns and enjoy the hunt for rarer ones. Lets here some suggestions INGO also keep an eye on the classifieds for a good chunk of .45acp ammo .

How about the Sig M11-A1?

My next 9mm purchase might be either an FNH or a Walther PPQ. But my opinion doesn't count because I'm a polymer loving glock-tard.

 

[Tula47]

I like the Sig M11, but I should have a stated the price range above. I'm looking to keep it around $600-650. I also don't mind polymer frame guns, I've had an FNX but eh... It was ok.

I strongly recommend the PPQ. I've had the M1 since before they called it the M1. Some people don't care for the mag release on the trigger guard but it is absolutely perfect for me. I have small hands and always have to adjust grip for mag changes. With my PPQ, I don't change a thing. Trigger finger goes to the slide, middle finger drops the mag. Have no idea how many rounds of all types I have fired and NEVER had a 'failure to (anything)'! It was my EDC for 1 1/2 years till I got my G26 for something smaller. Mainly because my Wife is very familiar with the PPQ and has on hand for home defense.

Sig P250 for hammer-fired, P320 for striker-fired . The quick change artists of handguns. No need to get locked into one frame size or caliber. The P320 is getting great reviews and I love mine. No .357 or .38 SPL but 9mm, .357 Sig, .40 S&W and .45 ACP are options. Here's my 9mm full-size:

I think I'm going to try a P320. Cbhausen wouldn't steer us wrong. $40+ for additional mags though? That might make a difference.

I'm not sure which caliber yet. I hope I don't go crazy and add another caliber like 357 sig. But I just might.

I was strongly thinking bout getting one early this year. I was told its kindof fat for iwb but gawd is it perrty. I heard the ergos are impeccable but the bore axis is a bit higher on walthers. I was also looking at the FNS. I was a big fan of the FNP line and they came out with a striker fired and I was about to be hook line and sinker until i learned that i could buy a US made glock. Now my edc is a glock 19 perfect size for me. I shoot it very well. Ergonomics could be better but it goes bang when I tell it to.

Sig is giving away two mags and a pistol bag with purchase of a new center-fire pistol between now and August 1. Just search for Sig Summer Rebate. Makes the cost of mags more palatable.

Go with the S&W 5906 or it variants. Great trigger and built like a tank. I have a 3913 that I love.

 

[Birds Away]

Are you looking for a carry gun or a range/competition gun?

 

[01deuce]

HK P7

 

[gregkl]

If you shop and bump up your price a little, the Springfield Armory Range Officer in 9mm is nice. M&P 9 is in your price range with money left over. CZ's are nice, but they may be outside of your target price if you get one with any work done on it.

If you like the 1911 platform, I would look at the RO.

 

[AceDerringer]

I have to agree with duece...HK P7... Another option would be the HK VP9.

 

[CindyE]

I am not sure why, but I just can't love a 1911 in anything other than 45ACP. Browning Hi-Power gets my vote for 9mm.

It's a mental thing.

I get some grief over mine...until they shoot it, lol.

 

[poppy]

Gonna go with Cindy and her recommendation on the browning hi power

 

[bmbutch]

PPQ was the most comfortable handgun I owned, then came the HK VP9. That firearm just fits, I'll be doing a range report on it in a week or so.

 

[dbrier]

Beretta 92FS is a great option right in your price range. If you like the hunt for the rare versions, start looking for Inox guns.

Since you're not opposed to polymer and are already interested in CZ then how about a P-07 or P-09?

They get high praise from those who carry them and are sub $500.00.
