I really like the heft of the AR24.

There are many out there. You've indicated the CZs look tempting. I shot a CZ-75 in .40 S&W (had ambi safety on it too!) that belonged to my insurance man once. Nice.

The S&W Model 5906, which is a 9mm Parabellum, Stainless Steel slide and frame model (mine had the Adjustable sights) was my first handgun. If I was to go back and do it again, I would have gotten the alloy frame 5903 going autoloader. Or skipped it and went to a good Browning Hi-Power!

So what? Surplus P7's have flooded in from Germany. New or like new P7M8's are widely available.

Thanks again for all responses. I've now narrowed my choice down between three models of the CZ pistols. I'm not in a great hurry to "pull the trigger" on a purchase (so to speak), but I definitely see a CZ coming my way soon. (Perhaps by way of Santa's sleigh.)

Ruger P-Series. Recoil is more than managable, plus they're extremely durable. If you run out of ammo, it would also make an excellent club!

I second the motion....either the P89 or P95 would meet your needs perfectly...

 

[jocko]

Kahr K9, super handgun.

 

[searcher451]

Check out both the Walther P5 and the Walther P88. They tend to be a fistful; both are great guns.

For the price I think CZ SP-01 are great. In my experience with mine it has been crazy accurate, reliable, and a great looking gun for just over 500 bucks. Cant go wrong with it.

 

[moph759fl]

Beretta 9000S, 12+1 9MM, rated for +P, +P+ and SMG 9MM. Great pistol if you can find one, good price now and even better if it fits your hand.

Sig P229 CPO

'nuff said.

 

[GregGry]

CZ sp-01. Mine came with night sights, 2 18 round mags, and it looks good. Hold one, you will be sold. Trust me.

 

[Kestral]

Heavy 9mms

One very good one for consistant use is the Jericho 941 ( Baby Eagle type) or 941F in 40 cal.or of course the Hi.Power.Kestral

 

[gtmtnbiker98]

Sig P229 Stainless Elite, so long as you have an extra grand lying around.

 

[Boba Fett]

+1 for the Baby Eagle.

Darn things are so incredibly accurate especially in 9mm. If you can find one of the old Jericho 941 and are willing to shell out the bucks, go for it. Otherwise, just check out the current Baby Eagles. Go plink a few boxes with one and you will never regret it.

And +1 to any CZ, Witness, Baby Eagle, etc. heritage of gun just the same.

 

[ConstantineJ9]

Ruger all the way

This bad boy weighs a ton and works perfectly.

 

[moi_self26]

I hate the H&K P7. I don't know what it is about that stupid grip squeeze that irritates me so much, but it does.

 

[Borch]

Any Smith and Wesson 3rd generation 9mm would be perfect.

 

[don95sml]

Guys, the OP said he favors CZs, so why keep beating a dead horse? Besides, I think he made an excellent decision.

 

[ConstantineJ9]

If he wants a Cz let him get it.

 

[Jkwas]

I can vouch for the P89. It's my heavy artillery
