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

[sgreen3]

If it's just a plinking gun then look into surplus pistols also

Might very well do that!

 

[IndyGlockMan]

how about a Canik TP9? Good gun for the money and it comes with a holster.

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.

i have to agree. I just paid 620.00 for mine about the same price i paid for my M&P Pro. There both nice but the Tanfoglio is twice the gun at the range. Wouldn't want to carry it though.

Yeah, I've got a Bladetech holster for it, because it was my first 9mm, but now that I have a smaller carry gun, it goes to the range or woods (where we have our own range) in a case.

Made a couple minor upgrades with Hennings parts (redesigned guide rod, have a new titanium firing pin but it needs mag safety removed making it illegal for Production if I ever got into competition)

Would love to find different grips for it other than the factory and competition offerings.

FWIW whichever gun you choose if you are still considering buying at Rural King they have a 12% rebate on guns going on now. I think the rebate may be in the form of a RK card. For instance a Citadel 1911 @ $374.99 is $329.99 after rebate, a Ruger SR22 pistol $255.19 after rebate. This is advertised as being on all guns, ammo and accs.

Wow that is a smoking deal on a 1911 9mm

Mine would be either my Browning Hi Power or SIg P226, both are fun to shoot.

Thanks for the link!!! I may take a look at one. If I don't go with the PT92 (in black of course) the 1911 in 9mm would probably next on the list. But I just don't know if I could bring myself to own a 1911 in anything other than 45acp

I bought one of the Citadel 9mm 1911 for 350.00 at Rural King. Very accurate, tight and the trigger is pretty nice. The barrel interior was pretty rough. i had to polish the chamber to get it extract reliably. But still a good buy.

This question always gets me. It is like asking what car should I get to just drive around in.
Go to a gun store or show. Handle each and everone you might consider.
When one feels good. That is the best one.

CZ 75 is my favorite....I have a sweet Springfield m1911 in 9mm that is close second

 

[Bigtanker]

With a $500 budget, I'd buy 2 HiPoints. One for each hand

 

[tk71]

I would buy something with a good trigger and easy to see sights.

 

[MTFisher93]

I bought a G19 a few weeks ago and I love it! I also have an M&P series 9mm and it is great as well. you cannot go wrong with either! the Glock is a little bit more reliable and durable according to most reviews, so take that into account with how rough you will be with it!

 

[Springer]

I will put in my vote for a 92FS. Lots of people do not like them but I really enjoy shooting them. The most accurate 9mm I have fired.

I still want to try a CZ as well as a High Power, and a 9mm 1911.

 

[jesse485]

I was thinking PT92 before I even saw that suggested. I now own a Sig 226 that replaced it, but there's nothing wrong with (and a lot right with) the big Taurus. They are very easy to shoot well, and have a nice short trigger reset. I'm partial to the Sig, but I got a great deal on it, and it was still much more than you should be able to find a Taurus for.

 

[sgreen3]

I already EDC a G19 so Im basically looking for a steel 9mm to target shoot with. So with that said Im probably going to end up with one othe PT92s. But wouldn't mind testing out one of the 1911 9mm variations also.

Just because it feels good in the hand, does not mean it will be what your looking for on the shooting range. If someone else tells me they have either owned or currently own a pistol that Im considering has had problems or would not be a fit for the type of shooting Im looking to do with it. Seems like a good question to bring up could save a guy some coin in the long rung.

Or, which freeze-dried coffee taste's the most like fresh-brewed?
