What about a Steyr GB, Colt Commander, Star Firestar, S&W M-547 revolver( w/ 3"or4"bbl), H&K P9s, CZ99 (from the fmr Yugoslavia)?
9mm Desert Eagle? I think you actually mean a Jericho, AKA the "Baby Eagle." A 9mm Desert Eagle would be... absolutely ridiculous.
You should get a Daewoo 9mm, too. Good guns, way better than the cars, and the "fast action" trigger is pretty unique. You can use the decocker like a standard DA/SA, or you can keep it cocked-and-locked. Or you can cock it and then push the hammer forward (and the trigger goes forward as well). Then the first DA pull is very very light, more like a Kahr or Glock, or other precock DAO, and the rest of the shots are SA.

I thought of another one; how about a MAB PA-15? Made in France, it utilized a unique rotating barrel that operated by a cam which engaged a corresponding track in the slide. At over 40 oz., it was hardly a lightweight compared to the cartridge it fired, nevertheless, it was an extremely accurate gun that could handle any 9mm Para load with ease.

Gotta go with a P7 (pick one or more between PSP, M8, and M13).
You already have a number of DA/SA and DAO's, so something a little different is needed for the collection.
P7's should be part of any serious 9mm collection.

It being french, would that mean it was dropped once/never fired? sorry, couldn't resist...wait a minute, neither would the french.

A Springfield EMP 1911 9mm 9+1

Ps.. the one, 3", to your right. 550 rounds thus far, flawless, just 100% and a point and shoot, tack driver IMHO.

-springfield EMP
I'd go with a Springfield Armory EMP myself.. I only hear amazing things about this gun. A 9+1rd, small, light, mini 1911 made for the 9mm that can easily be concealed, allows C&L carry, and has tack-driving capability at the range. What's not to love? Maybe the $1000 dollar price tag... good luck!
.. oh yeah, where are the pics?!!

How about: FNP-9, Beretta 9000S, S&W 3913, S&W 469, Kel-Tec PF9.
These 9mm's all work for me.

Checkman;
A large portion of my collection has come from Ski's. John and Loraine are good people. They are closing the doors December 29 2007. John wants to try retirement again. He is not going to sell the place and he is not going to have a going out of business sale. His plan is to retire and if he ever needs to or wants to all he has to do is open the store and back in business.
The shop downtown, Max's or Ross' Gun and Coin? I like Max's, he is taking over Ski's pawn business so things should pick up for him.
Ross', I don't do much there, it's one of those shops that if they don't know you - screw you. I'm not rich, but I buy a few guns. I dress in t-shirts and jeans and they think I don't have any money so they don't bother with me.
If the place is not friendly on my first visit I don't shop there.

The IMI Desert Eagle 9mm is the baby eagle. It says Desert Eagle on it "baby" is a nickname.

A lot of good ideas. I am interested in the war era 9mms. There were a lot of interesting pistols made back then.
I think I will make a list of new and old from here and do some research on them.
I looked at the new Ruger yesterday. ??? I don't know about it. I don't like to rush into buying, so I will give it some more time.

Man, ya gotta get a "Broomhandle!"
If you are collecting 9MM handguns, naturally you'll want a P7.
You'll also need to cover the 1911 types AND the wheelgun types.
There are a lot of 9mm types that have been made . . . and ultimately maybe you'll want to add some of the Class III types like a Glock 18.
THE BDM . . .
I once owned a bi-tone BDM that I'd bought new. GORGEOUS LOOKING . . . WONDERFUL GRIP . . . nice and compact.
I was shooting a lot of pistol matches and decided this thin little 9mm would be a great CCW gun too, so I bought it. I broke it in with the care of a benchrest rifleman . . . shooting ten rounds, cleaning it, shooting ten more, cleaning it, etc. for 250 rounds. I wanted this gun shooting as slick as all my others did!
A thousand rounds later . . .
--The BDM had gone back to the factory to replace the front sight, which had disintegrated partially!
--It also was NOT very accurate, and I believe any handgun MUST be accurate, lest it fail you mortally, but this thing wouldn't shoot tight groups with ANY factory round or handload I could get my hands on.
--It shot really high too, even with lighter bullets . . . and even after Browning replaced the front sight with a taller one. Here's a photo of the target sent to Browning showing the 4 3/8" high sight regulation with 115 gn. bullets. NOTE: For perspective I've superimposed a photo of my little Kimber .45ACP with a typical 10 yd. target it shoots so folks can see how high, and HOW SPREAD a BDM shoots at ten yards. Bad indeed.
Worse, that danged thing was a jam-o-matic . . . and locked up and failed me at every match I shot it in, both before and after its trip back to Browning.:banghead:
THE FINAL STRAW . . .
I was crusing to victory in a three-table pin match . . . only to have it jam on the final table once again. A grizzled old Marine was watching . . . a former Camp Perry pistol champion decades before. He shouted out, as I left the line, "Hey Turner, when are you gonna get rid of that piece of schidt Browning?"
He was right, of course, I'd given it much too much attention and time. That gun would NEVER be the accurate, dependable handgun I'd envisioned it being . . . and I traded it off soon afterwards.
SADLY . . . the BDM WOULD be my preferred 9mm today . . . if it was accurate and dependable. It was a gun that came out a little too late (just before the Clinton high-cap ban) but also a gun that came out too EARLY too (rushed onto the market before all the bugs were worked out).
It could have gone down as a great gun . . . if the high cap ban hadn't come when it did.
I STILL WISH SOMEONE WOULD CLONE THAT SLIM, PERFECT GRIP . . . and release a gun that worked on that size high cap frame.
Enough of this rant!

Then:
JMOFO:
I'm almost 65 years old. I've own, or shot, a pile of 9mm's over the decades, and without a doubt, as an overall package, the Walther P99/AS and P99c/AS are the best of the best..
For personal cc I prefer the full size P99/AS, then as wardrobe dictates I might drop down to the smaller P99c/AS, and then for nude bathing, I prefer the Seecamp LWS..
I see you already have a Walther P1 in your collection. I recommend you consider a surplus P5 too.. The Walther P5 is imo too bulky for reasonable cc, but is a fine weapon.
Best Wishes,
J. Pomeroy

Shot my CZ-75 yesterday and I am always amazed at what a fantastic pistol it is. I can shoot it quite fast while keeping all shots in a nice small pattern in the middle of the target. Finest shooting iron I've ever owned, regardles of price.
