Favorite carry gun in 9mm

reerc · Mar 19, 2011

It's OK to post about what kind you have, but my question is more specifically directed to you folks who have several different 9mm's. "Of all your 9s, which one is your favorite to carry - and why?"

Pictures are always welcome. Thanks!

My Glock 26. Very little lube needed, not much attachment to it, decent mag capacity. Summer sweat does not seem to effect it like my others.

LEM P2000...I like that it has an hammer and that it fires similar to a well tuned revolver since my other carry is a well tuned revolver.

I had a PPS, which I sold, which is a great carry gun. I have the M&P full size 9 which actually carries really great too with a Comp-Tac.

how about a 686

Novak tuned P-35 Browning Hi-Power. Same basic drill as my Gov't 45.

High Power. The problem is deciding.
'76 Browning has the best trigger pull.
'FM' Argentine has better sights and I have less money & emotion in it.
Browning Silver Chrome has nite sights, better safety. But is a little flashy.
All three are tack drivers, so I guess it's a matter rough, dress or weddings & funerals.
If I ever find a Practical Model, I can cull the herd.

Mine's an H&K P7. Great trigger and remarkably accurate. I've had it forever.

I love my 908. Slim, compact and accurate.

I like the Kahr CW9. It's light,slim, and has a good trigger. Don

Sig P239 because I favor a DA/SA trigger, and it's small enough for IWB carry.

JcMack · Mar 19, 2011

Glock 36 for me

ladder13 · Mar 19, 2011

Have a few Smiths but on the lookout for a, dare I say, Kahr PM9.

I've gone back and forth on this issue, but have recently decided to carry a Glock 26 in the car. It's reliable, and easily replaced if I have to. For CCW, I plan to carry my LC9, as soon as I am satisfied that it is dependable. In the house, I keep a Glock 19 for my wife, and I have several .45s for me.

That was my carry for 8 years...until I lost the top of my middle squeeze finger....

I love the 9mm, don't care what others think. I shoot it well, and I believe in it.

Currently my favorites are in this order, but honestly, I'm perfectly satisfied with any of them, and carry all of them in rotation.

Springfield Armory EMP
Glock G17
Ruger SR9

The EMP is my current pick. I like the 1911, love the ergonmomics of the pistol. It fits my average sized hands like a glove, has Novak night sights, G10 grips, ambi safety, and is exceptionally accurate for a 3" barrel. Also came with a really functional double mag pouch, and a so-sol holster. Price is around $1100 or so i guess.

The G17 has been a constant companion for 15 years. I trust it explicitly. It has never, repeat never, had a single malfunction of any kind whatsoever. I compete with this pistol, and have lightly customized it with fiber optic front sight, a Glock adjustable rear sight, a 3.5# trigger connector, some sticky tape on the grip, and a bunch of ammo.

SR9 is perfect and fits even better than the Glock.

Guess I will still vote for my CS9

Has night sights and "Big Dog" grips
Great pocket carry
