$1,000 to spend on a 9mm... Which one?

[Mickey D]

I with a .45

 

[goldenlight]

If it was me with that budget, I would look for a Heckler and Koch P7M8.

They are pricey, but a load of fun to shoot. They are extremely accurate, and they are quite slim in profile, though with the steel frame they are a bit heavy. Not too heavy for CC, though.

Well that's my 2 cents, anyways.

Old School - Browning Hi-Power. New School - Sig 226 or 228. Or for $1000.00 you can get two Glocks. SF

Hi Owning and shooting; 3-9mm's from three different manf. my vote would be the HK p30s; quality, reliability, and just the way it feels and shoots! second to none in my opinion.

I'm splurging. I have a budget of around $1,000 to spend on a 9mm as most of my handguns are 9mm and I have the ammo. I am looking for a classic, sharp looking gun, that is accurate, reliable, and COULD be carried if I chose to. I carry all of my handguns, with the .22LR being the only exception.

I'm thinking about a 1911 in 9mm OR Browning Hi-Power. I love 'em both. Which to do!? If I go with a Hi Power I'd likely get a brand new Mark III.

Thanks for helping me spend some money!

Browning Hi-Power

The Smith 1911 is the only 9 that's interested me lately.

Yea, I've considered a 952, but that would be settling. I'd prefer to find a genuine 52 at a price that I can live with.

 

[Arik]

If it was HP or 1911 only i'd go with the HP. Just as nice and holds more ammo.

But if it were me I'd get a M&P or a Glock, maybe a CZ they are nice too, and the rest $$$ on ammo and mags

If you want a 9mm, Belgian Browning Hi-Power, period.

walther p-5

For 1000 dollars you could by 2 m&p 40s, the factory 9mm barrel and extra 9mm mags. This would give you 2 guns avalible in 2 common calibers.

9mm

IMHO , the greatest 9mm pistol is the CZ-75, Before the embargo on Com-Bloc goods ended , gray-market CZ-75s fetched $1500.

agree. IMO the CZ75 is the finest duty size 9mm there is

 

[gjgalligan]

I had a P228 a few years back and didnt like it. Sigs dont fit my hand. Functioned fine, just didnt suite me.

You are the first person I have heard of that didn't like the 228!
Lots of folks that don't care for some of the other Sig models but never anyone that didn't like the 228.

EAA Witness Match Add glass and you are still under $1000.

re: 9MM

Have you ever looked at a S&W Model 39? It was the first double action semi-automatic S&W made. I carried it as a police officer, on and off duty, and now as a civilian. It's small enough to fit in your front pocket. I've never had a misfire or a stove pipe with it. Very reliable weapon. If you can find a used one, you can save some money as well. Don't knock this one until you try it! LOL Good Luck!

As my "handle" says: swca940... how about the Classic S&W 940 wheel gun? Carry something interesting in a 9mm. Yes it's only 5 rounds. Yes it takes moon clips. But... it's fun to shoot and incredibly well made.

 

[jakerson9]

I think if I was looking to spend $1000 on a *single* 9mm, I'd go for the CZ 75D PCR compact, also. I've been trying to find one for awhile now and it is kind of "unobtanium."
A local store has a Browning HP in stock, however, and it is a really beautiful piece of art-in-metal. But if I had to spend - "$1000 on 9mm stuff" - I'd try to get a common-system that would include two pistols. I'd either try to find an (M&P Shield or an M&P 9c) *AND* I'd also get an M&P 9.. OR I'd get a Glock 26 and a Glock 19(or 17)... If I was ambitious and lucky, Id stretch my budget a bit and try to find a Sig P938 and a Rock Island Armory 1911 tactical, in 9mm...

$1000 9mm

Start from the holster you would like to wear and proceed from there. A S&W M&Pc 9mm striker fired with a RAM (reset assist mechanism ) and APEX trigger kit would be an ideal setup and cost much less than $1000. An Hidden Hybrid Holster that allows you to carry on the outside and also inside the waistband is a pragmatic setup. That said, since the ability to get a high cap 9mm mag is more limited, would suggest that you move up to a 40 S&W where the mag is 10 rounds vs the 12 round capacity of the 9mm.

 

[dewey]

Hi Power and you'll have some cash for ammo if you shop smart.

( HOWEVER, the Smith 952 is the best 9mm I've ever had. If you can find someone who will let you shoot it you'll sell a gun to get another $500 to buy one, no doubt about it ! )

 

[gdogs]

For $1k, I'd find a really nice custom Hi Power. Stippled back and fore straps, Novak sights, and a tuned action. They are out there you just have to look around.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Springfield XD-S.45 and was extremely impressed with its small size, light weight, slender profile, yet relatively reasonable recoil. As mentioned in an earlier post, the XD-S9 has just been released. It should be a very nice weapon for concealed carry....but then again, you'd have money left over.
