Need Help in choosing a 9mm

[chef larry]

Beretta PX4

Of all the 9mm pistols I own, the PX4 is the best feeling and most accurate for my hands. The only part of the pistol I don't like is how the backstrap pin is a pain to change, wish it was like the S&W M&P. Good luck with your choice.

Nothing wrong with the Taurus either, if you are eyeing that model. There is one in my safe that I bought used for a screaming deal, and it has yet to cause me regrets for bringing it home. The only drawback to them that I see is that I havent seen a new one recently without the rail underneath it.

Save up until you can get the R1911 that you really want.

if you follow this advice you will have the gun you really want and that makes the decission easier....bcuz after you buy one these three you will wish that you waited(coming from experience)

That is a nice looking gun!

What do they go for?

Seems to fit the OP's needs very well. Makes me want to try one.

Buds had them for $499. I've heard of people getting them for less.

Keep in mind, the one in that picture (not mine) has a set of (expensive) Nill grips on it.

I'll add another vote for the CZ. I have the CZ 75 Compact (different than the CZ 75D Compact shown above in that it has a safety instead of the de-cocker) and really like it. It's the most comfortable gun I've ever held. The prices run from around $300 used to $600 new, but some new ones go for around $500. There are a lot of good quality clones out there as well. One of the guns I have is a Tanfoglio TZ 75.88 and that is every bit as nice as the CZ. I also have an Armalite AR-24K which is another CZ clone. It's built like a tank and is also really nice to shoot.

Am looking to purchase a 9mm pistol and would like opinions on which to get. I will start by saying I prefer an all metal gun, exposed hammer as compared to striker fire. Can settle for new or used if the gun is still being made. but if I buy one of the others I will be $200 closer to getting the new Ruger SR1911 that I really want also. What say you???

just go with the Glock 19!! u cant go wrong. i know it aint got the hammer but u can still go with one in chamber. it has a 3 point saftey.

How many of the OP's requirements does a Glock meet?

Looks like 3. 9mm, prefers all metal, and come new or used.

Save up until you can get the R1911 that you really want.

I agree with this also. Sounds like you really want it. Don't settle unless you TRULY find another that you like better. It's all about what you want and what feels good to you.

Myself, I like Glocks and 1911s. Both feel good in the hands. So, just find your gun and test fit all you can. Everyone else can just provide ideas of what you may like and you can look at them as well.

No question about it. A Bersa Ultra Compact 9mm would be perfect for you. New for around $400

Let me know if you have any questions about them.
