Who makes best 9mm pistols?

Firepower! · June 9, 2009, 03:53 PM

This is an opinion poll.

In your opinion who makes the best 9mm pistol and why?

Which model do you like in particular?

Enjoy!

J.Netto · June 9, 2009, 04:01 PM

Glock 17 and 19 of course! And beretta 92fs. Why, because those are the only ones I've ever got around to buying, so - they are the only ones I have any experience with.

I've always wanted a Sig 226 or 229 though.

Can't vote - you don't have Walther as an option.

BaDgErFaN · June 9, 2009, 04:03 PM

CZ 75B

Zilmo · June 9, 2009, 04:14 PM

Hi Power.

CortJestir · June 9, 2009, 04:17 PM

Since you offered a multiple choice poll, here are my Top 3, with specific models, of all the ones you listed:

1. Browning Hi-Power
2. Sig Sauer (P225, P228, P229, P226)
3. HK (P7 series, P30)

Browning Hi Power.

OldShooter · June 9, 2009, 05:31 PM

I can't decide, so I'll just list what I have:

CZ75B: great gun that I use at the range and informal club competition.
XD9SC: very reliable pistol that I usually carry.
Radom vis35: a very nice piece of history that doesn't get shot often.

I once had a Taurus PT92FS that I thought was nice but couldn't shoot worth a damn.

I'd like to have a vintage High Power but what are the chances.

5whiskey · June 9, 2009, 05:45 PM

I go for CZ. Glocks and Berettas are mainstream, CZ is just as good but a bit more underground. IDK, I like originality I guess

mnhntr · June 9, 2009, 05:58 PM

Opinions are like ...... well you know. Mine is that HK builds the best non-1911 auto pistols on the market, period.

Pinky Carruthers · June 9, 2009, 06:32 PM

Walther.

chris in va · June 9, 2009, 06:47 PM

Oh no, not another caliber poll. Any particular reason why you keep asking?

Looks to be a poll of manufacturers, not about calibers.

Japle · June 9, 2009, 06:55 PM

Depends on what you're looking for.

Dependability and toughness? Glock.

Great feel, accuracy, trigger pull? CZ75SA.

wnycollector · June 9, 2009, 07:10 PM

As an owner of SIG, CZ and S&W pistols, IMOO SIG makes the most accurate, reliable 9mm...but dollar for dollar S&W 3rd generation pistols are tough to beat! I would toss in CZ...but my only experience is with their .40's and not 9mm!

hanno · June 9, 2009, 08:04 PM

CZ - well built, reliable, accurate.

Shadi Khalil · June 9, 2009, 08:30 PM

Glock

How is CZ winning?!?

hoytinak · June 9, 2009, 08:35 PM

I voted for my top two, HK & Glock...in order.

More CZ owners saw this thread first! Don't worry, the Glock guys will be here soon. They just haven't heard the reveille yet.

oneounceload · June 9, 2009, 08:37 PM

P-7, followed by G-17

Both go bang every single time I pull the trigger and shoot to POA, all with a myriad of handloads.....can't ask for more than that

2cooltoolz · June 9, 2009, 09:24 PM

I voted SIG. My P226 does everything I want...well. Except CCW; for that I EDC a Kahr PM9. hmmmm.
I didn't see Kahr in your list. (I would have voted SIG, anyway

)
CZ is winning?

Crankylove · June 9, 2009, 09:47 PM

Browning/FN Hi-Power. Accurate, great feel to it, reliable. Have shot many different pistols, but the Hi-Power is still the 9mm I enjoy the most.

ActivShootr · June 9, 2009, 09:55 PM

Best, I dunno.

My favorite 9mm is my G19. The P228 is a close second.
