    Pick the WORST gun...

    Tek-9. Gangsta. Not sure if its still made, but XXXX (edit: serious correction required to preserve the name of a good existing company) is still around. I shot one in '92 (police friend confiscated from a drug dealer), it is the definition of "spray and pray". BTW, Hi-Points are actually...

    Favorite 9mm gun?

    For me, it has to be my Sig 226 West German 1989. Served many years as my bedside go-to gun. It is a fantastic blend to comfort and shootability. Too bad Sigs of that era tend to exhibit rust. It's been retired since 1996, it was replaced with a USP .40.

    Most durable and dependable all steel 9mm?

    RSILVERS asserted "Sig P226 is not steel. It is aluminum. Two people said it before me but people keep nominating it." Uh. Sig has been making steel framed 226's, 229's, 220's for a few years now. I suggested the 226ST. What do you think the "ST" stands for?

    Small Semi's for Small Hands

    HK P2000 9mm is perfect in my hands. Just a small suggestion when she graduates beyond a 22 lr.

    Most durable and dependable all steel 9mm?

    Hmm. Seems no one has mentioned the Sig 226ST in 9mm. They are getting tougher to find as everyday passes. I have a 226ST .40 and I love it. Seems a little bigger than my other 226's made from alloy, however with the same Sig quality. Another is HK P7M8 (wish I had the duckets).

    Let's Talk CZ Frame Changes

    Also added. Early SP-01's had one cut for the accessory rail. The I saw a few samples with 2 cuts. Last 2 years, I have only seen the now 3-cut version.

    CZ-75B vs. IMI-941 vs. Tanfoglio(EAA Witness)

    ... Blakenzy, your description of the Jericho 941 (aka Baby Eagle) does not quite jive with me. Understand that I am not trying to doubt your experience with the firearm. If you did not like the 941, or it doesn't feel right, or it pointed badly, etc... by all means, don't buy it. I am...

    Requesting pictures of well-worn, broken-in handguns.

    Beautiful. Those are all beautiful pictures. To tell you the truth, while I enjoy looking at all pictures of guns, I get tired of looking at all those pristine unfired weapons. Perhaps the finish of new guns are more durable which make the pictures look cleaner and shinier, but these guns...

    Thinnest 9mm

    Without a doubt, the thinnest grip based on your criteria would be the Magnum Research Baby Eagle. Heavy SOB, but slim in the grip. Its a double action, double stacked 9mm. It is loosely based the CZ design. Not cheap to buy, but not too expensive to keep as safe queens. Let's face it, we...
