While I like my Glock 19, my converted S&W 642 is one of my favorites. The same 940 cylinder fits in my 60-4. The 60-4 is where the 9mm shines in a small revolver.

My H&K Walther and Canik ,I'm still getting used to MY new Mrd . I've been told to turn down the intensity ,so as to fine tune POA ,which is difficult IMO ,with a Dot covering said point of aim . Have Never run an electronic sight on any of My weapons . Iron or scopes Yes .
The Griffon is .45 and I immediately crap canned that aim point ,talk about a Bulk load . That was decades ago .
How embarrassing I can't find photos of My H&K or PPQ M2
I'll have to take some .

I love shooting my 39-2
But, the best 9mm in the safe is Turkish…
That thing has an amazing trigger and is a laser beam!
Special mention to the Steyr and Masada in the safe. And the 5906, who’s weight makes the 9mm even more controllable. My RIA .22TCM/9mm combo is also pleasant to shoot in 9mm, but the TCM is such a lil rocket, that barrel hardly ever comes out.

My PPQ Q5 Match Steel Frame Pro is without a doubt my favorite 9mm of all time.

That looks just like Mine ,as I have both PPQ's M2 ,steel match and polymer frame . How about those Triggers ,huh are they the Best ever
I love mine . Admittedly My Canik has far to much travel for my liking and I need to see about rectifying that problem .other than it's trigger I've NO complaints . Those are a superb pistol and shoot WELL .

First - I’ve had a somewhat moderate exposure to 9x19 handguns.
Upon more reflection, my CZ PCR might still be no. 1.
I had forgotten about the Beretta PX4 Compact.
Even the DA trigger was nice, and it would be easier to conceal than the Beretta 92 @@@ whatever, which a friend owns.
For a striker-fired gun, possibly the Walther PPQ or CZ P10C.

With a purpose and practicing I liked shooting my older school S&W 6690 back in the day...
With a purpose and practicing nowadays I like shooting my HK P30
And for just pure fun or otherwise enjoyment I like shooting my old Beretta 92FS with an original SGS compensator...

My Springfield PI9134, like all my 9s though, after the Springfield maybe my P226 Dark Elite
#1 Springfield is on about 70K rounds (maybe time for a barrel soon)
Recoil springs, firing pin springs (normal wear and tear) but otherwise no issues at 70K.
I liked the first one so much I bought a spare before it goes off CAs stupid "Approved Handgun" list.

My favorite 9mm is an STI Trojan. I bought it from Dawson Precision with his trigger job. I have shot thousands and thousands of 120 gr. Cast bullets through it. Here is my granddaughter shooting the gun. I have a sinking feeling that she may get this gun on her 21st birthday

Hmmmm…I’ve got a ton of 9mm pistols, but if I had to pick one it’d probably be my slightly-Legionized West German P226.

Out of what I own, tough call, but I think it is my Canik Whiteout right now
Mine has to be my Shield+. Mainly because it's my only 9mm, an issue I'd like to fix.

Favorite nine issue is my third generation Smith 5906 with adjustable sights. All my Glocks come in a close second.

How I Fell down the Rabbit Hole- by jrmiddleton425
I was 31 years old before I noticed something. One day I said to myself, "Self, you don't have ANYTHING that shoots 9mm. You need to fix that."
I came close to buying a Beretta and calling it good, but the grips were just a little too fat to be comfortable.
I have two Glocks already. I wasn't feeling the need for a third. SiG pistols cost a little more than I wanted to spend. Browning Hi-Power? New ones were made of unobtainium, even before they were discontinued.
As I remember it, I was digging around and found an old article on the CZ-75 written by Stephen A Camp. After doing some more reading, I decided to give them a try, and bought one from Bud's Gun Shop, sight unseen, in October of 2014.
"Hmm," says I. "This is a good gun."
During the pandemic, I spent some stimulus money on a CZ Custom SP-01. A couple of months ago I spent some MORE money on a 75D PCR, which I needed like I need a hole in my head, but given the way things are going, I bought it while I still could.
Does the rabbit hole get deeper, or can I eventually buy enough of these Czech wonder-nines that I can stand on them and climb out of the hole?

This is a correction / amplification :
Any 9mm handgun with what are considered good ergos and a smoothish trigger.
But practice for carry? Any compact in DA/SA if the DA's stacking (increase in tension) is fairly gradual, And smooth.
I would have Loved an HK P30 or USP (Especially the 9mm Compact), but didn't understand whether just a "regular guy" could change the trigger components to reduce the DA's 'stacking'.
Too late now because the main interest is rifles.

Pretty partial to CZ’s these days. A toss up between the CZ75 and the shadow. And the P07 just hits where I aim so it goes out quite a bit too. Really like sig’s tac ops too but I’m more accurate with the CZ’s.
Would like to find a good 1911 9mm, and it would probably become my favorite because I like the platform so much. Another shooter to buy!!
