Best value in 9mm?

[bg226]

For the money what is the best bang for the buck in a 9mm defensive gun?

 

[Cliph]

9X19: Used Glock 19
9X18: Makarov

 

[Philo_Beddoe]

ruger p-95
or

CZ 75

 

[sqroot3]

used sig p6, p225, or p228

 

[saturno_v]

What size?? 9mm hanguns range from pocket pistols to full size pieces.

For a pocketable piece, the best bang for the buck is a Kel Tec P-11 or a PF-9

For a full size piece, Bersa Thunder 9, a Cougar or a Ruger P Series.

 

[shootr]

+1 on Sig P-6 and Makarov. I'd add Beretta 92.

 

[NWCP]

Look at the Stoeger Arms Cougar. Possibly the best bang for your buck in a quality weapon. It won't break the bank getting it.

 

[wnycollector]

Used 2nd or 3rd gen S&W. They are accurate, reliable and will last two lifetimes.

 

[Prion]

CZ P-07. $450 from Buds.

 

[lilidiot]

Talk about a leading question. This should get interesting to follow!

 

[19-3Ben]

Ruger SR9.

It competes in the league of guns like the M&P, XD, Glock, etc... but costs $370-385 instead of $500-550.

 

[distra]

For the money you can't beat a 3rd gen S&W auto or a used G19 or G17.

 

[Sapper771]

Sig P6
Used Sig 226 (W.German)
Used Glock 19/17

 

[iafirebuff]

Another vote for the 3rd generation S&W's. 2nd for me would be Bersa.

 

[kokapelli]

Ruger SR9

 

[cougarman]

Steoger Couger is where my money went.

 

[wbwanzer]

WhatCougarman said. They can be had new for around $400 and you're basically getting a Beretta.

I'm surprised no one has posted this link yet: http://best9mm.com/

I'm partial to the FNP-9, but I am a fan of hammers over strikers. I tried to like the Ruger SR9 but just could not abide that trigger.

 

[RippinSVT]

I vote Taurus PT92. I have high-end stuff, but that gun was the most reliable and accurate gun I have shot, for the price of course. Never malfunctioned, not ever.

 

[Quoheleth]

Bersa Thunder or their Compact/carry model.

Q

 

[bg226]

No love for the sigma?

 

[lilidiot]

The best value and bang for the buck is the Czech Cz-82 or the Polish Radom P64 9x18 Makarov. They can be had for under $200.00 and far better designed and built than a majority of today's cheap pistols made by Bersa, Rossi and Taurus.

for striker the glock 19 and xd are tough candidates. If you prefer a hammer CZ's will keep you in that price range. I am spoiled and like my Sig's and HK's. You need to be more specific. Bang for buck is tough to interpret.
