Thanks for the info guys...I really like the two tone Ruger P89 and or the 95. Can anyone tell me the primary difference between the two?

The P89 is metal, the P95 is plastic. The P89 is basically a refinement of Ruger's first centerfire autoloading pistol, the P85. Suggest you check specs at Ruger's website -- they're both still in production.
 
Nothing wrong with the S&W Sigma. A lot of people can't get used to the trigger pull on it though. Mine got a lot better after a couple of hundred rounds through it. Either that or I just got used to it. Now after 1200 rounds it seems very normal to me. I really do not notice it anymore. Other than the trigger pull it is top notch, very reliable and easy to clean.
 
They allow bullets in Boston? I thought you needed to apply to the city council with a petetion written in blood just to handle bullets. :neener:

I just got a 24/7 and think it could be the best deal going.
 
True, and more than once I might add.

"I need some assistance in getting a 9mm Steve" - Someone I know, male, female, young or old...

<Arrive at Gun Getting Place>

"Hey, lemme see that BHP please" - me

<Hands to person>

"He/she will take it and a case of ammunition, and some spare mags...holster..."
- I inform Clerk

"Pay the man" - I suggest to person I was asked to assist.

"Did I just buy a BHP? " - they ask

"Yep, now you need to buy lunch/ diner, spending other folks money getting guns makes me hungry" - me

I hear your CZ40 calling for a roommate. The proper matchup would be a CZ75B, most likely in the black polycoat. Keep it in the family. If you like the .40 S&W, you will LOVE the 9m/m. You might Czech out the www.CZForum.com classified listings, sometimes a very tasty item is listed, like the .22lr Kadet adapter unit (fits on the CZ75/85/75B and .22 is dirt cheap).
 
summitgunbroker.com has a variety of used 9mm pistols for less than $400. Several of my friends have purchased from them without problems.
 
My vote goes to an FNP9 or 9-M, depending on use. Dead reliable, built like a tank. Comes with 3 mags, should be around $400
 
Another vote for

Summitgunbroker.com Mark has some great prices on a lot of good guns. His new Glocks run around $450 depending on options and you can get some like new police trade-ins for a song. I bought a Glock 32 in 357 Sig with 3 mags and night sights for $420. It was an unissued police trade in. Great guy to do business with. I have been thinking of getting a G19 in 9mm in addition to my 23 and 32. Love my glocks. He has some real good deals on some of the older models right now along with great deals on other makes like the Sigma and the M&P.
 
S&W M&P is hard to beat. My dealer tends to be a bit on the high side of local prices but even they sell the M&Ps for under $500. Aftermarket support is good and growing - gotta have a holster for it, right?

Good 9mmNATO buys...

Depending on what you plan on using the 9mmNATO pistol for(CCW, target, duty, etc) here are some good ideas;
SIGarms DAK model P-226R, P-239 DAK model, S&W/M&P 9mmNATO compact, HK P-2000 LEM model(full size or compact).

Any of these pistols would be a smart buy. ;)

For protection or duty ammo use; 124gr +P bonded JHP from Speer-Gold Dot or Remington Golden Saber or if you can find it; Ranger SXT 127gr 9mm +p+ JHP rounds from Winchester. These loads are in use by many sworn LEOs(law enforcement).

USED GUN! Check your local dealers for police trade-ins. Alot of agencies have jumped from the 9mm to .40 and I see many of them showing up locally. Most seem to be S&W 59 3rd generation guns with a few Beretta 92's in the mix, but these will fit your bill nicely! You'll be hard pressed to find a used cheap Glock and most Sigs are traded into the fatory and then reconditioned. New, you've had plenty of suggestions but the Taurus pistols and the Stoeger Cougar seem to be the most bang for the buck. Have Fun!
 
The Ruger P89 is solid and damn near indestructable. A bit large, it might be awkward if you have smallish hands. The trigger pull is also rather long but the whole mechanism smooths out nicely with use. Not especially sexy, but an excellent value NIB for around $350. They're fairly common so I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to find a good deal on a used one.
 
Plenty of good recommendations here, and there are alot of solid 9mm out there. Probably been said enough already, but right now I think the deal on the M&P pistols is just hard to beat. In fact I might be going to buy one today after work haha. Local shop has em for $399 in store (no transfer fee), and you can get 2 extra free mags (4 total) as well as a free range bag from S&W. Pretty solid deal there for a good new 9mm. Something to consider.
 
There is a CZ75B in the CZForum Classifieds that nobody has latched onto, and the seller is asking $375, he pays the shipping to your FFL, and whas 2/15 round mags and 2/10 round mags. Sounds like a nice starter setup for somebody.
 
+1 on the P89. I bought one for $300. It's eaten the best and worst ammunition with only one problem using 20 year old reloads. I have fun shooting it and I would trust my life with it.
