9mm Guy`s STEP FORWARD... - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

protosniper · 10-27-2009, 05:51 PM

well so far it`s a 2 way between :
---------------------------------------
Springfield and Browning ON TOP with 5 each

Glock is up next with 3 votes,

Sig following with 2 and then

CZ
H&K
RUGER
Beretta
walther

If I had to choose one RIGHT NOW it would have to be Browning But I think i`ll let this go for maybe a few more days since I like them both it`s gonna be hard to choose between them....

So my cut off date for this thread will be FRIDAY the 30th which ever 1 has the most votes im purchaseing Saturday morning rain or shine and im heading to the range for some fun.

protosniper · 10-28-2009, 07:20 PM

How bout we add a KIMBER to the list

handled several today after work and THEY ARE VERY NICE.... Even liked the 22lr

The Panther · 10-28-2009, 09:24 PM

FNP 9 - have one- love it - The only one that comes close to accuracy is the High power- But then again FN makes them both.

llama.45 · 10-30-2009, 12:34 AM

glock 17

Oldeyes · 10-30-2009, 06:43 AM

+1 on the SA XDM 9mm as a working incredibly accurate and highly ergonomic target gun, then take the savings from your $1,000 budget and put a layaway deposit on a standard fixed sight Browning HP in 9mm. No matter what your handgun orientation, just about everyone should at some point in time own at least one classic BHP 9mm in their handgun stable, along with a 1911 in .45 ACP.

Kestral · 10-30-2009, 07:29 AM

I bought this 9mm.have been told it must be cleaned after each 20rds,It will be making a good paperweight.So if your offered one,dont bother.

Old Guy · 10-30-2009, 06:56 PM

I would have to go with the Springfield XD with a hard look at the XDM. It carries more ammo and has a few ergonomic upgrades. I have an XD40 and love it.

Old Guy

6x6pinz · 10-30-2009, 07:36 PM

Springfield XD

johnlives4christ · 10-30-2009, 11:29 PM

a 1911 in 9mm would be nice i think. but you cant beat the glock for the abuse it will take and still function.

pickenup · 10-30-2009, 11:50 PM

In order of preference.
SIG-226 with a LaserMax installed. (a hoot to shoot)
HK USP
XD

Glock doesn't have the right cant on the grip - doesn't have a natural point of aim. (for me)

protosniper · 10-31-2009, 09:29 AM

I am leaveing for the GUN SHOP right after this post and as soon as my buddy gets here to pick up a NEW Springfield XD..... Who knows I might return with a runner up also

any addition to a firearm collection is a good one NO MATTER WHAT.....

Springfield XD 9mm
and maybe a Glock 21 for good measure

If you do decide on a G21... you might ought to consider a G21c if they have it...

Protosniper, I took the Ruger SR9 out today for her christening and was happy with it. While I was at the range I also rented an XD-9 to see what it was like. I will admit by the time I got done if I had known then what I know now I would have bought the XD-9.

I liked the feel of the grip over the SR9, however I liked the trigger of the SR9 over the XD-9. Now this is my first time of firing either one and I had better accuracy with the SR9, I was shooting to the left with the XD and not as tight of groups but I believe with some more time on it and getting familier with it would cure that for me.

OH and the wife is going to find a new XD-9 under the Xmas tree this year, I have been wanting to get her a higher capacity pistol and I believe this one is the one that will make her happy. It was down to the Glock 19, XD-9, S&W MP9, FNP9 but the feel of the XD-9's grip broke the tie.

This was both the SR9 and XD-9 at 21' running mosambique drills. Ya I know I need to tighten the group up but they are both pistols Im not familiar with and its been about 3 years since I did any serious defensive shooting.

res45 · 11-01-2009, 08:14 AM

Not on your list but I like mine,kinda different.

tekarra · 11-13-2009, 07:17 PM

cZ75B followed closely by a Browning HP.

tekarra · 11-13-2009, 07:19 PM

Kestrel,
Those Vectors were recalled some time ago for a safety issue. I guess yours did not make it back! They have a certain appeal and I sure would like to shoot one.

Claude Clay · 11-13-2009, 07:51 PM

BHP....for sure

Sig P-239 the DA/SA in 40. than get a 9mm conversion barrel compensated or threaded for a suppressor. same magazines and barrel spring works both calibers. 357SIG conv bbl will just add to the fun.

Beretta 92FS--big, heavy & accurate.

H&K P7--accuracy plus plus

blackhawk 38/357 & 9mm. scoped and really fun. but not a stand alone 9mm.

Big ugly · 11-14-2009, 03:12 AM

I got a frind who is an armed securiety guard and he carries the Zastava. I like the way it shoots and for the money it aint a bad bargain. He got his shipped to his FFL dealer for 375 total price.

mncarpenter · 11-14-2009, 03:54 AM

CZ 75 P-01-pick one up and ya won't wanna put it down-NATO certified and you can shoot the flies off your horses ass at 25 yds and not hurt the horse

Taurus_9mm · 01-12-2010, 12:56 AM

Great choice with the XD, I have one in 45 ACP and would like to add the 9mm subcompact and XDm .40 at some point.

bntyhntr6975 · 01-12-2010, 01:18 AM

Hmmm. I have 2 on the list, the G17 and the Colt Combat Commander (series 70). Not real sure which is more accurate, but the Glock is more durable and requires less maintenance. I'd have to leave the Colt at home in its box, I guess.

Ursus · 01-12-2010, 05:24 AM

Sig gets my vote here

ONE THING.... It WILL NOT be a conceal carry weapon and compact pistols aren`t my bag.... it will be used for target shooting and all around fun I have a $1000 dollar budget for this peashooter But that doesn`t matter I want something that will be accurate and fun to shoot... If you have one in mind that isn`t on the list please post it. I would like to check it out.

Im in the market for another one and wanna here from the 9mm Guy`s on this forum POST "1" out of the list below and the one that has the most vote`s will enter my collection. Thanks for your vote....

I know it says 9mm guys only... I'm a .45 guy, but have shot 9mm alot. I'd say the Glock 17 is a great pistol. I shoot that about the best for a 9mm. The Springfield XD9 is a good pistol too.

kda · 01-12-2010, 01:45 PM

If I'm buying one to protect the the life of my loved ones, then Glock 19. Easy choice.

shinerjohn · 01-12-2010, 03:44 PM

Browning Hi Power
