I'm thinking of getting a full-sized "wonder nine" 9x19 semi-auto pistol if the standard capacity mag ban sunsets next year, and the mag prices thus drop (or become existent at all). 2 questions:
1. In your opinion(s), would any of the post-ban guns, like the Walther P99, Springfield XD, etc., have anything on some of the older wondernines, like the BHP, Sig, HK, CZ75, Beretta, etc.? Can anyone break down the capacities of all the wondernines? After all, the more the capacity, the more wonderful a wondernine, right? In other words, how many *will* the XD, P99, etc., hold compared with the Glock and Beretta's big ol 17 round mags? I think I'll probably get a CZ75 or BHP because they fit my hand better, especially with thin grips, but I want to know how much capacity I might be sacrificing in some of the more interesting pistols like the polymer ones (the XD and P99 in particular - how many rounds do the LE mags hold in 9mm?). This will be a fun range plinker, but occasional carry gun. Oh and the trigger on a BHP beats the CZ75 in a standard gun, corrrect?
2. How does the Taurus knock off of the Beretta 92 compare in quality and price? If I go this route, which would you recommend? They're the same gun, except Taurus is just leechin off, I mean, reverse engineering, the Beretta design, correct? Mags are 100% interchangeable, no?
