Need advice: which 9mm?

[Jellybean]

You must understand that everyone is different, so with that I'd say the Browning High Power. If I only had one 9mm, which I don't, it'd be that one.

Choosing from the guns on your list, go with the M&P. My wife carries a M&P 9 compact, and it has never failed to go bang. My only complaint is my pinkie finger hangs over the end of the grip.

Personally I have to second the recommendation for a Glock 19.

Batjac,

How does the M&P Compact compare to the Glock 19 in size?

Thanks,

Dave

I just stumbled across an identical model replacement for one I'd traded off years ago . . . a Browning BDM (Browning Double Mode) "Practical" model.

It was a totally different design, and has a selector on the left side to instantly convert the pistol from a conventional double action pistol to a "revolver mode" pistol. Being a double action S&W revolver fan, I'd really enjoyed having a BDM with its nice, smooth trigger. In a lot of ways its trigger pull is a lot like a Para LDA pistol.

It came with its box, appears in almost perfect new condition, has all the original cards and manual, PLUS the rare 15 round magazine for it. I simply could not pass it up.

Best wishes in finding the right 9mm for you. Hopefully, I have . . .

Absolutely beautiful BDM - I haven't seen one in years. I remember when the Secret Service was considering the BDM for their service weapon.

Regards,

Dave

Smaller. Easier to conceal. And you can still get your entire hand around the grip unless you have monster paws. Twelve plus one rounds.

I guess you could say it's between the Glock 26 and 19 in size. Comes with a flush fit magazine as well as one with a pinky rest. You can get them with or without a magazine safety, or manual safety.

I carry a full size magazine for a spare mag with X-Grip magazine adapter. Works well.

The M&P compacts are hard to beat.

Thanks, Kanewpaddle. I'm starting to lean very heavily towards the M&P Compact.
