Best 9mm to target shoot (plink) with?.....

Sig Sauer P210

Rural King had RIA 9mm 1911s for less then $400 OTD. Would make a good low cost plinker.

I choose my Dan Wesson PM9 1911 or my H&K USP Expert 9mm. Both are great target/plinking guns.

anything CZ, in my book.

Everyone just name what you have. That's what these threads always turn into...

Sig Sauer P210

Wins the internets!!

Or an old school SiG 220 in 9MM!

M&P Pro Series
Walther PPQ 5"

I agree with the G34 and PPQ (in 5" or the standard 4"). I'll also mention pretty much any Glock 9mm, not just the G34. The G34 is easily the most accurate (to me), but the G26, G19 and G17 are fun shooters as well. My personal favorite is the PPQ, due to the sweet trigger.

Do you have a favorite home defense or carry gun? I would want to use that for plinking to stay practiced. If not, I'd save money and buy what I really want for HD/carry and use that for plinking.

EAA Witness Elite Match, WAY more accurate than I am, tuned and Production Class legal (and competitive) out of the box, many reviews say it outshoots Kimbers of twice the price. I When I got mine it was just a shade above $500 and the fit and finish are great. Little big for carry, but definitely my go-to gun for plinking and punching paper. One of my "never sell/trade this one" guns.

For the money IMHO it's hard to beat an "out of the box" Glock 17 or Full size M&P..

I can agree with some of the above... My SR9c has never let me down, and is a blast to shoot. Full size M&P is a great gun, but the stock trigger is pretty junky.

Sig P226

+1, love shooting my p226. Also glocks, M&P's, Beretta's.

 

[Cemetery-man]

M&P 9C, Kimber Ultra CDP II, Beretta 92FS. Those are the 9mm choices of my livery for a day at the range.

I carry a G19 everyday, Just wanted something a little different to plink with. I went to my LGS the other day and handled quite a few different pistols but couldn't quite make my mind up as what one would be the most fun for just target shooting.

I was wondering about one of those. I seen them online but hadn't seen one in a store. Good to hear it shoots as good as the price is. May have to look into one a little more. Thanks

 

[sgreen3]

Yea Ive thought about the Beretta as well or maybe one of the Taurus variants?... Any one with any thoughts on these. They both feel very nice in the hand, an being an all metal gun Im sure shooting the 9mm cartridge it wouldn't be like shooting much at all with recoil.

 

[sgreen3]

What's your budget? If it's less than $650 or so then you can't go wrong with a used p226. Or a used PPQ

Not real sure quite yet, but probably in the $500 range ( still got to get the TAC20 out of layaway first )

 

[EyeCarry]

For just a plinker I'd look into a cheaper budget. Off the top of my head I'd suggest EAA Tangfolio Witness $275, EAA SAR B6P $275, S&W 5906 or similar.

I would agree. Sccy cpx2 goes on sale at RKing for less than 270. Of course it will be snappier than a steelie.
