Best 9mm by Best Manufactures

BearBio · Dec 21, 2016

OK=My picks:

Glock 26 (but all Glocks are much the same)
Browning Hi Power
S & W 39-2

Lugers jam too easily, esp with light bullets/loads (they have that 1/2 "jump from magazine to feed ramp/chamber)

C-96s are awkward and too big.

Exotic guns are too hard to get parts for (esp mags)

My favorites:

1) FN/Browning Hi Power (Belgium)
2) Sig Sauer P228 (West Germany)

I'm done.

There is no best 9mm because everyone's criteria is different. Not all guns are suited for all purposes. What you are getting and will continue to get are subjective personal preferences. For me I like guns that are all around performers that fit my hands and that I shoot accurately.

For me the top 3 are:

The Browning Hi Power:

The Sig P228:

Sphinx SDP Compact:

kozmic · Dec 21, 2016

FNH FNP9 for the win

sodacan · Dec 21, 2016

H&K P7
Browning Hi Power
Sig P229

Those above are ones that I own, but the list would have to include the Sig P210 and P6.

Sig P226. This is one really exceptional handgun.

Jingles · Dec 21, 2016

If it doesn't have to be currently manufactured the Sig P228 is a hard one to beat for accuracy, function, reliability, concealment, etc., ....

You must be the only person in history to say the Beretta 9000 is the best 9MM. It was an abysmal failure and ugly as sin. The 92 is certainly one of the most iconic firearms in the 20th century, but everything since then has just gone downhill (excluding the awful 90-TWO). The PX4 is a good gun, but it's no 92FS. Racking the slide on a 92 feels like it's rolling on greased ball bearings.

I was waiting for somebody to catch that.

Putting the 9000 in the list is an expression of my unbridled LOATHING of the 92. The 92 is the only pistol I have picked up and shot that I cannot shoot straight no matter how much I try.

OK... my turn...

Browning High Power - best 9mm to shoot... not up for debate
followed by...
Taurus 99 - early models
Sig Sauer P226 - German
Kahr K9
Luger
Walther P38/P1

mostly iconic 9mm pistols thru my personal history...

Richard Simmons · Dec 21, 2016

I'll offer the following:

S&W M39
Glock G34
Beretta 92FS
Browning Hi-Power
CZ-75b

Colt Competition Government

Only because that's the next 9mm I want to buy.

SIG P228
I have others, they are classic. iconic, but range toys.

DavidWJ · Dec 21, 2016

I like my Kahr, to me it's the best.

Honestly, there are better 9mm pistols, I just don't own a Browning High Power. ;-)

OKFC05 · Dec 21, 2016

STI
CZ75 SP01 Shadow
BRN Hi Pwr

I own several Glocks, but I believe the 17 is the best they have to offer.

Many find it on the large side for concealed carry and will opt for a smaller model, but considering the totality of possible uses(Military Service/Police Duty/Home Defense/Concealed Carry/Range/Sport), I think it's overall the best model.

"The pre-2011 gen 3 G17's are the most reliable, bomb-proof pistols Glock has made, closely followed by G19's of the same era. Assuming you change your recoil spring when needed and are using standard capacity OEM Glock mags, you should be able to shoot 10,000's of rounds without ever having a gun related malfunction." - Dr. Gary Roberts aka DocGKR

StakeOut · Dec 21, 2016

S&W Model 39-2(blue)

Browning HP FN Competition Model

Ed Fowler · Dec 21, 2016

Sig P 210

Smith & Wesson 952-1

BAM-BAM · Dec 21, 2016

The Beretta 92 Compact Type M ......single stack 8+1....feels great in the hand....... IMHO Sig 210 and Smith 39 great!!!

a 9mm that has never been equaled is the Browning Hi-Power

mrchuck · Dec 21, 2016

How about this,,,,,a pistol that saved my life,,,A KEL-TEC P-11 9mm 12 round mag plus 1 in the bbl.
It was there when needed.
Never felt the recoil,noise was minimal, and it functioned perfectly.

Don't wait....I got it and it's wonderful. Just need to change the blue front sight insert to orange and you're good to go.
