Looking for a DA/SA 9mm...

I am looking for a DA/SA 9mm pistol with a mag capacity of 15 rounds or less because of state laws. Prefer something more towards a full sized. The ones I know of already are FNP-9M, H&k P30, 92SF and Sig P226. What else is out there?

I'm absolutely in love with my P30. Smooth shooter, and no failures at all yet, not even during break-in. Some people don't like the style of magazine release, but I prefer it over a Glock-style push button.

A S&W Model 5900 series are good values. Trigger reset is better than most and magazines are easy/cheap to find.

Not quite full size but the Bersa Thunder UC and Bersa Firestorm Mini are DA/SA, hold 13 rounds and are nice reliable guns at a nice price.

+1 on the Bersa Compacts. I *almost* snagged one at a local gun show but passed it up. You also cannot go wrong with the 92FS.

P99 AS.
Taurus 24/7 pro DS models
Taurus 24/7 G2 models
P99 is my favorite...thought the G2 isn't out yet and it looks nice.

Yeah, I have been looking for the FNP-9M for some time now. No luck so far. And thanks for the replies everyone, been looking up these guns for the last hour or so.

Beretta 92FS or one of its variations.

There's always the HK USC and P2000. I carry a USC either in 9mm, or .40. Both have had match triggers installed.

id recommend the sp2022 in 9mm by sig. it is a polymer framed pistol designed for LE and military applications. i picked up mine from buds after reading the many comments left by other buyers on buds website. tons and tons of rave reviews.
it comes with night sights and two, yes TWO 15 round magazines, sig gun oil, and a nylon barrel brush. it has a great feel in the hand, and is very accurate. has run 100% with lots of types of ammo.
all this for less then $500
-its the one on the top left-

If used is an option, the link below is a very reasonable choice.

The 3rd gen S&W were very rugged and reliable. This one also fits your mag requirement. They are a little big and heavy for concealed carry though.

You might want to consider the now being imported P225's from Switzerland from top gun supply of course they are I think only 8 rd mags. Still not a bad deal for the money.

i am not a fan of da/sa but if i was gonna get one i would go with either a sig or an h&k. more specifically a sig p226, or p229 form sig or from h&k a usp or a P2000.

My personal favorites are the HK USPc and in particular the HK P2000SK, but only because I detest safeties. My son has a HK P30, that strikes me as nothing shy of perfection, (but my experience with it is limited).
Just curious...which state sets the limit at 15 rounds or less?

The great state of NJ of course! :neener: Also, concealed carry is not even an option in my state. The gun is going to primarily be a range / home defense gun until I get my shotgun.

FEG P9R - if you can find one. I think it is 14+1, sa/da, full sized and has been perfectly functioning since I have had it. IF you can find one, they start about 250 used.

I originally thought the FNP-9M was about the same size as a SiG 228 or 229, but when I compareed mine to my friend's 229, I realized it has the same or slightly longer barrel while being smaller in every dimension. It isn't quite as long, it is much narrower and less bulky, and it's got a great trigger. Oh and the sights are the best I have ever used on a pistol, those and the trigger are the two biggest reasons why I like it more than my PCR.
I couldn't see buying a Sig now that I've had an FNP, or another USP for that matter.
Keep looking for one, they are definitely worth it, and at the price I paid for mine, I wish I had bought two and the DAO version CDNN also had at the same time. They are that great.

Yeah they seem like really nice however I can't wait too long. It takes at least a month to get a pistol permit in my state and they expire in 90 days. Got to use them quick :fire:

HK P30: 15 rds, accurate, reliable, easy to maintain, Small, Medium, and Large back straps and side panels enable you to custom fit the grip to your hands. Try one out and see for yourself. I realize OP said he knew about it already but it's fun to talk about.

+1 for the Sig Pro 2022
