What's your WOW! 9mm? (Or .38 special)?

[Abflyboy]

I put a couple Glocks that I never shoot on consignment in order to fund a new 329PD. Been wanting one for a LOOOOOONG time. Not really 9mm, I know.

On the 9mm subject, STI has been kind of nagging in the back of my head . . .

Wow 9s.....

I have a Sig, an S&W Third Gen, a Shield that are all pretty Wowie. I have a Kel tek P11 that works well, but doesn't have any Wowie at all.

My son has a Springfield XD that is diseased with Wowie

His Taurus is OK, but I do like the hammer type.

I have two J frames that are excellent guns, but not a lot of Wowie. My Wowiest gun is my 686. I'll get rid of everything before that.

Favorite 9mm a BHP, the CZ is close and my favorite .38 is any K frame that happens to be in my possession!

 

[jdlii]

The CZ and it's range partner.

 

[Andyd]

The P210-6, it is special.

 

[CajunBass]

I've got a couple of Model 10-5's, a 4" and a 5" (with box and papers) that I don't think have ever been fired, and I doubt I ever will. I could see trading them for something else.

I'm not really sure for what though. I'd know it when I saw it.

One of my all time favorite 9's. IWI Baby Eagle II. Heavy but accurate. I have the 40cal and 45 ACP versions as well.

 

[OLDSTER]

WOW 9mm

Browning Hi Power for me also. This is a 1972 "C" series

 

[CH4]

My favorite 9mm is my 9mm/.38 Super DW Specialist. The gun's weight really makes a cream puff to shoot...and it's ACCURATE!

My favorite .38/.357 (I only carry .38 +Ps) is currently my 640-1 Pro. Both are keepers!

I don't sell guns to directly fund other guns, I sell because oftentimes I find they just don't have that certain je ne sais quoi, or I have too many of a particular example.

While I'm pretty content with what I now have, I wish I hadn't traded away several classics I owned years ago, including a Diamondback .38, 686, Savage 99, and Benelli m2 (to name a few.) I have a yearning for a Sig P225, and I just missed a good forum deal on one that I would have snapped up in heartbeat, had I found the FS posting in a timely manner.

 

[ScottN]

I would part with my Kahr CM9 and Glock 42 plus some cash for a nice Browning HiPower that has had the trigger worked.

I would also trade my Smith and Wesson 327 PC snub nose toward a 327 Night Guard if I could ever find one.

 

[TomkinsSP]

I have often sold guns in order to buy others. I recently sold several Model 94 Winchesters that I was not using and never will in order to buy a Beretta Onyx O/U 12 gauge. I was wanted a classy O/U and one of the reasons is because I am such a terrible wing shot. With this Beretta I can shoot badly and still look good!!!!

Some years ago I dumped a SIG P226, two Norinco 1911 .45s, and I forget what else - oh, I know, a Colt Mustang+ with mother of pearl stocks - so I could buy a Browning Hi-Power and I think that's also when I bought my S&W .38-44. Both of those are WOW guns.

I need to get a picture of that BHP.

One gun I always wanted was a SIG P230 - I think it is just about the prettiest firearm ever made. My problem is I can't justify adding another .380 to an over crowded gun safe with similar sized .380s in there that I don't want to part with.

Star Model S

No picture of the Beretta FS85 Cheetah.

Those are both such great .380 caliber pistols so adding another one just because it is WOW PRETTIER - I can't make myself do it.

Star made the S in .32 acp as well. (Such perfect proportions.) Used to have one of each, but one of my sons took a liking to them.

 

[jtcarm]

I think I've got two of my wow .38s, both 3" M-64s. But I didn't have to liquidate anything for them.

I can't think of a .38 or 9mm I'd give up a whole lot for. Maybe an H&K P7.

I've actually never owned a 9mm. There's a 3913 en-route, so we'll see if it wows me.

 

[SOS24]

Mine would be either a Sig P229 Legion or a S&W Performance Center.

 

[A10]

I'd trade for a nice p08 Luger or a Korth.....

 

[Mister X]

Glock 18

Other than it, I pretty much own everything I want.

 

[Mexican Kerry]

I've had a couple Hi Powers, and 9mm Colt Commanders, I think that's it for 9mm. They were all excellent shooters but got sold due to other interests. I recently bought a nice older S80 Colt in 9mm because I found a case of ammo in a cupboard and needed a gun to shoot it in.

I'd really like to get myself another Hi Power, an original Beretta 92, or a P-38. The one P-38 I've tried gave me that WOW factor, someone I know has one he let me shoot a couple mags through it and I need one of my own now.

 

[inspcalahan]

Pick up a Sig P226 Legion SAO, a traditional Legion DA/SA and then grab a Colt AR15 in 9mm (swap out a decent trigger)....you've got 3 of the most reliable, accurate and 100% combat worthy 9mm's. Make sure you also have a Glock 19. Just because.

Then stock up on a pile of mags for all.

 

[BC38]

I'd sell a couple of my 9's for a shooter-grade hipower.
I'd sell up to 3 of them to get a shooter grade Luger.

 

[bmcgilvray]

Would mind adding a Colt Series 70 9mm to the menagerie here. A SIG P210 as well.

Got the Luger and the Hi-Power covered.

There are 20-something .38 Special revolvers here so got that covered too.
