Buddy looking for a non glock. GO!

[Birds Away]

If weight isn't a factor but ambi is I would recommend a CZ 85.

 

[VERT]

He will end up with a Glock.

Walther PPQ or M&P.

 

[88E30M50]

Canik TP9SF.

I've never owned one, but those do seem to get lots of good reviews.

 

[88E30M50]

IKR

 

[aspiringsnd]

Walter PPQ or M&P. Done and done.

 

[Woobie]

I can hook you up with a 4" PPQ M2 9mm for him to try. Not for sale, but he can see if he likes it.

 

[NyleRN]

The Vp9 is also a good choice with ambi controls

 

[sparky32]

Just a question why is he so opposed besides the ambi part to glock if I may ask? Lack of a safety, the look, grip? He may shoot that one better than any other like I came to find out after I refused one. But if he really does not want one my choice is the M&P.

 

[DanVoils]

Since it has to be ambi I suggest the VP9 or the PPQ. Both are great guns.

OP said sub $550. I don't think the PPQ or VP9 can be had new at that price point. And the CZ stuff... INGO peeps seem to have a boner for those right now. I just don't see the fascination with them.

CZ 75 B and most if not all of the CZs. Well built, proven design and accurate.

Last one I bought was $600 OTD. My wife ordered the gun at the local shop. Told the owner to get her one, wrote the check and left. I'm sure if you shopped around a PPQ could be bought a little cheaper though.

Wow, you're a very lucky man.

The best deal in the country, right now and it won't last long, is an H&K p30l 40 cal from Grabagun for 569 plus 5.99 shipping. Enjoy

Bought my vp9 for $535 2yrs ago. I know PSA runs sales on them from time to time for $519

The FNS 9c - Easier to CC that the full-size FNS 9; Plus, it comes with three mags - flat base 10 rounder, a 10 (or 12) with an extension, and a 17 rounder. I have both and carry the 9c far more often than the 9.

I guess. She never shoots the gun. She thought she wanted something smaller then her 5" 1911. But it didn't turn out to be what she wanted. So then she bought a 4" Kimber instead. The PPQ proudly served nightstand duty with a Streamlight for a period of time. But now that the Kimber is running it got swapped out. So she gave the gun to my 12 year son.

Wait...I suppose life is pretty good in the VERT household.

 

[RugerRog]

Springfield XD-M, or XD Mod.2

 

[Ddillard]

M&P Shield 9/40 or maybe Taurus PT111 G2

I got mine for $530 apiece a couple of years back. I've seen them recently for $529 or so, as long as it isn't the .45 version.
