I need a new pistol......again

[firemanstrickland]

well, keep in mind i wont be buying a gun just because someone on here says, "hey! buy this one!" i am simply looking for new ideas to go "check out". thank you

 

[alienbogey]

HK P7 if you want to be spoiled for everything else.

cz 75 sp.01

I had a Sig P229 in 9mm and it was a great pistol but I ended up trading it in for a Glock. The only bad thing is the expensive magazines. You can't go wrong with a Sig.

 

[bannockburn]

If I were looking for a 9mm. I would start with the Browning Hi-Power. Great feel to it and seems to be a good fit for most everyone. The CZ 75 or P-01 would be my next choice in a 9mm. mainly because of it's innovative design with the slide running inside the frame. Also the shape of its grip closely resembles that of the Hi-Power.

The SIG P226 or P229 would be another decent handling gun to try, though I never really cared much for the DA/SA trigger design. I would also have to say the same thing about the Beretta Model 92. The Taurus PT-92 might be another way to go though if you prefer the feel of the Beretta, as the Taurus has a combination safety/decocker which allows you to choose between DA or SA for your first shot.

Just my .02, but I was a CZ guy for many years, then on a whim I got a Taurus 1911 in 9mm. I dont get excited easily about hand guns but this one is awesome. 1500 rounds in 2 months without a hitch and the price was reasonable. YMMV

 

[rellascout]

Gotta ask the standard questions before I give the standard answers.

• What are you going to use the gun for? Home defense/range only/gun games/ CCW mixture????
• Do you have a price range?
• What type of trigger are you looking for? DA/SA, DAO Hammer, DAO striker, SA only w/manual safety or a combo gun like a CZ75B?
• Do you have large hands or smaller hands?

If you let us know more about your criteria then we can offer better more meaningful comments.

All that said my default if you do not already have one is the Browning Hi power. The orginal wonder 9mm.

 

[md7]

Some of these have already been mentioned, but there isn't a bad one (imho) out of the bunch.....

Sig P226
Sig 2022
Beretta 92 FS
Browning HP
CZ 75B
CZ P01 (a compact, but at least worth a look)

 

[txhoghunter]

i am looking at the sig 226

go with it. don't ask any for more opinions....trust me

 

[viper7342]

I don't mean to sound like a pitch man

But I really like my Springfield XD9, the ones I've owned have been very accurate and I've owned 2 besides the one I now Have and an XD40 as well. If you like combat tupperware and the 1911, they have basically the same grip angle.

 

[benderx4]

Sounds like you need to check out both a HK P30L and a Beretta 92FS.

 

[firemanstrickland]

im goin with the 226, i have decided. now i just have to try one, and in reply to the earlier question, i prefer da/sa, i have big hands, i want a pistol for ccw/personal defense, and a 500 to 600 dollar price range. i am gonna find a used 226. i have decided, if that dont do it i will go from there. thank you very much for all of your input

 

[sniper_nyx]

Sig 226 or Glock 17 for me. Have carried both for many years and have always been extremely satisfied. Never a failure of any kind. You can't go wrong with most of the high quality 9s these days. Shoot as many as you can and pick what feels right.

 

[modifiedbrowning]

Check out the Walther P99 and FN FNP 9, excellent pistols.

 

[millertyme]

Cz75b

 

[Fishbed77]

Sounds like you want a Walther P99.
Get the AS version - possibly the best 9mm ever made.

 

[TYFOOON]

+1k for the FNP-9! I paid 360.00 for mine because the FNX is out. I really love it.

 

[gglass]

You already know how well your M&P40 fits you... Now grow the M&P family with a new M&P9 Pro Series.

Just one of my five M&P's:

 

[DAdams]

P99AS Walther
M&P 9Pro 5 inch

I'm sure many that were mentioned are fine, go shoot em.

 

[hAkron]

Another vote here for CZ. I have the CZ 75 D PCR and it's a nice gun. I also have a CZ 82 in 9mm Makarov. It's hard to find anyone who has bad things to say about CZ.

 

[Shadow 7D]

GO FONDLE THE GOODS
sorry but, 9MM has about the most guns made for it, and what you like, will vary, have fun.

 

[Tomcat47]

Beretta 92FS!

Sigs are good too... but ....

You May get another Pistol later, but it wont be to replace the 92....! From then on it will just be something to go with the 92....


...it was post 47.....

 

[Mknight]

I like my Taurus PT111 but that's me. Wife loves her Springfield XD sub compact.

 

[BENBRU]

Siggggg.... I have a glock, M&P, USP, and my Sig 229 is probably the most luxurious gun I've shot (mine's a .357Sig though.... I got into reloading because of this caliber)... Everything about the gun is smooth, and perfect. My buddy says holding his 226 is like "...giving his hand a hug," and I would have to agree.

The 229 and the 226 are essentially the same except one is a 5" and the other is a 4" other than that.... I don't think you can go wrong with either a 229 or a 226...

 

[firemanstrickland]

ok, well, i went to the gun show today to buy my new pistol, and........i got the 1911, i just couldnt stand it, i had to get it so, yay for .45 acp hahahaha
