If you could have any 9mm FOR DEFENSE CCW what whould it be?

[Sactown]

Check the search function. Pretty sure this has been discussed ad nauseum. That being said, I like my Sig Sauer P225, but if I could have any 9mm for CCW it would be a Glock 18C.

[Bren]

A PM-9 size with a solid frame that holds up, say maybe Titanium. :cool:

[Brian Williams]

I have to submit my S&W 940. Moon clips make it a fast reload and it is very controllable along with it being a Revolver for dependability.

[Zak Smith]

9x19mm? Already have it: my custom BHP.

[10-Ring]

If I could have any 9mm for DEFENSE CCW, I'd go w/ the HK P7M8...Oh wait, I've got one of those already :D All I need now is one of those pesky CCW's :banghead:

[Jiml3]

I have 3 that I would trust my life with.

S&W 6906: 6 7/8" length, 5" height, 25.6 oz and holds 13 plus 1.
Sig P 239: 6.6 " " 5.1" H. 25.2 oz. " " 8 + 1
CZ75 PCR: 7.2" " 5." H. 27. oz " " 10 + 1

All in the same ballpark except for capacity. I shoot the S&W best
but Im improving on the others.

[jacketch]

Sig P239, BHP, CZ or perhaps a Kahr if you can get a good one.

[Cawdor]

Another vote for the Sig P239.

[MJRW]

Glock 19. Holds a good deal of rounds in a package light enough to carry anywhere and has never failed on me.

[agony]

For everyday CCW, I already carry a Kahr K9.

For HD, the SIG P226 gets my vote....15+1, great control, great accuracy, reliable.

Can't go wrong with a BHP, Beretta, CZ, HK, or Glock either.
:)

[mr. e]

For 9mm CCW, I am happy with my Kahr K9. Small, reliable, accurate, and great grip and trigger. Great for summer carry.

When I go larger than the Kahr's size, I step up to 40 cal. (with the maximum 10 shot capacity from reasonably priced mags) with my Walther P99.

[Handy]

P7

[bnbc]

Over the years I have shot most all execpt the P7.
What is it about this pistol that owners love?
Why do you not see the P7 around alot?

[Dobe]

The P7 is a natural pointer. It fits well in the hand, and because it is gas operated, the recovery is quick.

It also has a tendancy to get hot, because of the gases, and the price tag is real high....about 1500 bucks. The latter is the primary reason you do not see a lot of them around the range.

[WonderNine]

I vote Browning Hi-Power/P35 of course.

:)

[Ala Dan]

SIG-Sauer P228 with high capacity magazine's!

Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member

[AndABeer]

S&W 5926 or 6926, not too picky.

[George Hill]

Any 9mm?

You mean like a Mini-Uzi or SIG P210 or MP-5 or a Beretta 93R or a Calico?

[emann]

My Sig P239.

[Tacblack]

If I could get any, it would be an STI VIP in 9mm or a SV compact frame with a 3.9 inch barrel.

[toby]

For SD/CCW:

CZ PCR, Sig P225 or SigP228 i that order

Have them all.

PCR is Fulltime...SIGs are safe guns anymore....not nearly as fun to shoot.

The PCR/BD's are to SIGs as XDs are to Glocks...more or less and zealots aside.

T

[Mikel]

Another vote for Sig P239.

[Jeff OTMG]

Due to the summer weather in Texas I would pick a Kahr P9 Covert.

[Rich357]

A Glock 26 with a good holster that covers the trigger.

Rich

[Coffee357]

Another vote for the Glock 19. Mine has gone through thousands of rounds without a failure. Light in weight, high capacity for it's size, and no sharp edges to annoy you when worn under clothing.
I like the Sig 239 alot but it has more edges, more weight, and holds fewer rounds.

Coffee

[PCRCCW]

CZ PCR....14+1 capacity
S&W 6906 13+1
Sig 229 w/ Hi Cap.......
All with night sights..............
Shoot well...........

[ojibweindian]

CZ-75. Or a BHP.

[tobeat1]

Glock 19 or HK P7M8- I have one of each. (would like two or three but who's counting?)

[JeepDriver]

CCW: Sig 239

Open Carry: Beretta 92 FS

Range Gun: BHP

Atleast until I get my Sig P228

[allan]

Any 9mm? I would have to say my BHP.

[9x19]

My Glock 26 serves me well as a 9mm CCW, but so does my Kel-Tec P-11.

[Ian11]

SIG Sauer P226 and Glock 26

SIG P228, H&K P7/M8 and Browning HP are close seconds.

[Berg01]

Some of my 9mm CCW personal favs;

SIGARMS P225, P228, P239

CZ P-01

HK USP 9c

Smith & Wesson 3913

[modifiedbrowning]

The best, if you mean accurate, 9mm IMO is the Walther P88 fullsize. For CCW the P88C or P99 are better. The Walther P88C is the pistol I would choose if I had too, but the P99 would be a very close second.

[Skunkabilly]

My P7M8. Will also look at the P2000 subcompact when it comes around.

[Poohgyrr]

Well, I have always thought something suppressed might be a good choice for a HDW. Can't do that here, so an unsuppressed Hi Power- a MKIII- with night sights, thin grips, stippled front & back straps, "pre ban" mags, and good ammo is my choice. This thing helps me look better than I am with bowling pins and those tiny steel plates.

[Jeff Timm]

I've been looking at Compact 9mms.

In the last two weeks I've rented and familiarity fired four.

So far, the best of four tried is the Glock 26.

The Ruger P-95 was too wide in the grip for my hand size and trigger reach. I limp wristed it.

The S&W 908 was a bit uncomfortable in the grip, and the ejected rounds hit me in the face.

The Taurus PT-111 Millenium (not pro) was second best.

The Glock was more accurate and the trigger pull was lighter and the travel was shorter.

Geoff
Who thinks the mid-size Glock is next...I'd like to try a SIG-239.

[txgolfer45]

No one best, imho. But, I do happen to like my G19, G26 and Kahr PM-9. Each serves it's purpose depending upon concealment requirements. Summer time, it is the Kahr PM9. When I can use cover garments, the G26 is my first choice.

Scott

[Tamara]

Any 9mm? P7M8, with the SIG P-228 and/or Glock 19 close behind.

[Marko Kloos]

"Best" is a subjective term.

"Best" 9mm to me is the HK P7M8, closely followed by the CZ-75, SIG P225/226, Glock 19, and Browning HP.

[faustulus]

Tough choice between a P7 and a Hi Power.

[wunderkind]

The G19 is stragely enough, a compromise gun without compromises!

Especially with medium-size hands like myself-I don't lose ANY shootability with the 'compact' G19.

15+1 Gold Dots, still light enough to forget about IWB with a good CCW belt.

[Berg01]

I'll keep my P228 with a P225 as a BUG

[New_comer]

Kahr P9 Covert, KelTec P11, P7M8, PT609, P239 will all do. :D


Since I don't have any of those, my USP9 will have to do. :cool:

[incursion]

P7

safe, low muzzle flip, accurate, reliable, thin

[cleve land]

First choice-BHP- close second(tie) 3913 or 229

[Matthew_Q]

THIS ONE:

http://fray-adjacent.justdied.com/pics/CZ75B.jpg

[jacketch]

Summer - P239
Winter - BHP

[caz223]

Depends on how many rounds you want available.
I'd say look into a sig 228/239
Of those two, I have a 228, and I can tell you it's a shooter that I wouldn't mind carrying if I had a reason...

[denfoote]

For accuracy, capacity, affordability, toughness, goes bang everytime you squeeze the trigger, and eats everything you care to feed it; including wolves: Ruger P95 :D

It's only drawback is lousy concealability!! :banghead:

That said, I usually grab the MK9 Elite when I feel the need to hoof a 9mm!! :evil:

[VG]

I was never comfortable with Kahr's quality or customer service reputation.
Love my SIG P220 but the P239 seemed too heavy and top-heavy for an all-the-time-carry gun.

Bought a Smith & Wesson Chief's Special 9.

[Sean Smith]

Matthew, you need to get a real magazine for that thing! :D

[kalibear45]

Thats a simple answer: Browning Hi-Power

[Mastrogiacomo]

Already own the gun of my dreams: two compact M Berettas and the full size 92FS. My gun list now is the Glock 19, 26, 92 Brigadier and maybe a Sig 226.

[Dave Markowitz]

First choice is the BHP Practical, which I already own. Second choice would be a SIG P228.

[Rob96]

Allow me step in here at the end of the line and give my input. IMHO I think that the Glock 19 is the best bar none, 9x19 for concealed carry. Even with a 10 round magazine, it carries more fire power than a similar sized j-frame revolver. Very slim, doesn't print easily, and best of all.....it doesn't feel like a compact 9x19.

[Ky Larry]

My CZ PCR.

[varoadking]

Sig P239, BHP, or Glock 19. The PCR would be OK as well, and the least expensive option.

I'm not sure what some folks are smokin', but a 92FS simply ain't a good CCW choice, to say the least.

[keederdag]

My Belgian BHP, hard choice though....:)

[akanotken]

Plastic = p99
Metal = bhp

but my actual experience is limited. Been wanting to check out the kahr and keltec lines. There's always a "is the kahr worth 2x the price of the keltec" thread going on somewhere :evil: , this way I could contribute!:scrutiny:

[WonderNine]

Plastic = p99
Metal = bhp

I agree with that for 9mm. Excellent choices, though I'd recommend the QA model of the P99.

[BHPshooter]

Another vote for the old reliable BHP.

Wes

[caz223]

I can't imagine anyone recommending a Beretta 92/96 for ccw.
Maybe a customized chopped 'L' series, or smaller beretta.
Nor can I imagine anyone recommending a full size CZ75b for carry.
Maybe a compact, PCR, etc.
Why are people recommending BHPs for carry?
I'd rather carry a compact .45 than a full-size, double-stack 9mm.
Just too big and boxy.

[Marko Kloos]

The CZ and BHP are excellent carry guns despite their double-stack magazines. That's because their slides are narrow, and that's what goes inside the waistband with an IWB holster.

[jdrobins]

1st choice USP9c
2nd Sig P239

Jim

[Spieler]

In order of preference, Glock 18 (like that's gonna happen!), P7M13, P5, Sig P225.....and a Beretta M-12 or Walther MPK sub-gun under the front seat!:what: :evil:

[senior]

not seen mentioned, but i'll add s-w 3913, counting safeties, 1 1/4 inches wide, barrel is 1inch, accurate,dependable, some say only 8+1, but how many more rounds u usually use in a shootout? Also very concealable IWB

[Dobe]

Senior or is it "The Son"

Perhaps we should call you Your Holiness for resurrecting a thread from 2003.:)

BHP or CZ 75 for a full size. Of course the 1911 isn't bad.

In a compact, I would choose the P7 series.

[Poohgyrr]

I still like the Hi Power a lot, a great pistol that keeps me comfortable.

But lately I've been using a Liebenberg built 5" S&W 5906 that is a tackdriving smooth shooter. The S&W PC is or did make 5" 5906s & 5903s this year; the alloy frame version sounds good to me.

EDITED: If I lived in a free state, I would already have one of the new PC 5"ers.....

[Dr.Rob]

BHP for me... but Justin's P7 could make me change my mind.

The skinny slide of the HP and CZ 75 SA make them much much smaller for carrying a full sized pistol and I don't like DA/SA.

The only Glock I ever liked was the full sized model 17 and that's a pretty big pistol.

[cdsdss]

P7M8.

Accurate, easy to control, and fits the small of my back so perfectly I forget I'm wearing it (this is going to bite me on the butt somewhere down the line, I just
know...)

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h288/cdsdss/HK.jpg

[Black Majik]

Glock 18 :D

[TOADMAN]

Glock 26..small - 11 round capacity - weighs less than 20 oz. - very very reliable...

[distra]

It has been said before, I'll say it again, BHP.

[Furncliff]

[Jamie C.]

This old girl gets me by, these days:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/DrakeCaminus/Afewfavorites.jpg

A CZ-75B, Glock 19, and a Taurus Millennium Pro have also served well, in the past.



J.C.

[xtarheel]

I have a Belgium BHP, a CZ-85 Combat, and a P-38. I kind of like the thinness and pointability of the P-38 even though it has limited capacity.

[pablo45]

Glock 19 or 17

[pablo45]

That korth has got to be a few grand

[Medusa]

Calico carbine and Glock 18, of course. Semi-auto pistols? Either Walther P88 or suppressed P99AS.

[Safety First]

Sig P239 for CCW and BHP for all other...YMMV...

[Cousin Mike]

the Sig P226... Don't own one, but my Sigs are my favorite guns.

20+1 in 9mm don't sound too bad either.

[bclark1]

i don't feel like anything would beat out my USPc for a compact 9mm... if i could check out one i don't have, it'd probably be a PM9.

[crsgw]

HK USP9

[jjohnson]

We DID say "concealed," right?

Unless you're a big dude and/or wear a parka a lot, expect to compromise a little. I like the Glock 17 - and THAT took some getting used to since I teethed on a GI 1911 - but hey, it's almost idiot proof and handles well with a little practice. The Glock 19 is a great compromise "place to start" but you have to figure out how well you need to conceal the thing and under what conditions. The big 9's like the BHP are great, but for the money, if you're trying to downsize this whole deal, I'd go with Glocks and see how small you really want it. The 19 is handy and controllable, also about as big as "concealable" gets.:rolleyes:

[iliketoshootguns]

the only 9's I have shot were a glock 17, xd-9, and a 92fs


for me the xd9 is surprisingly accurate.. the 92fs is a good gun as well if you don't mind a fat grip.

I didn't care too much for the glock, maybe because it was a range worn model

[308nato]

bought a cz 2075 rami compac in 9 mm holds 10 rds.
fits my hands good and I like it better than my Baretta 92

[hapuna]

you should make a poll out of this question

[GRP]

Make mine a Glock 19 Small enough to conceal in cool weather, big enough to shoot straight

[Matt King]

If you could have any 9mm FOR DEFENSE CCW what whould it be?

I love my evil black guns, so my favorite would have to be a Glock 19. :neener:

[MDMadrid]

Go with a brand new 9mm Hi-Point, cheap and I think you will find that it is very reliable. I did.

[Marshall]

My FNH HP gets the nods these day for a 9mm.
