If you could have only one 9mm

Glock 19

 

[MTS840]

With premium ammo for self defense and cheap ammo for practice you can't beat the G19.

It's one of the most reliable pistols ever made and is very concealable. Parts and holsters are inexpensive and easy to find.

If you could have only one 9mm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you could have only one 9mm pistol for the rest of your life which one would you buy?

I only own one 9 MM at the moment, it's a Glock 19.

It's reliable out of the box, parts are easy to find worldwide and it's easy to work on.

As much as I'd love to say the Heckler & Koch P2000, I think I'd have to side with a Glock 19 for this one.

Walther P99 AS.

Smith&Wesson 6906.

Springfield XD9 Service Model. Mine hasn't let me down yet.

Glock 17

If I had to select one from my collection, Glock 17, hands down.

If I had the chance to choose others, I'd want to try the USP with a can (if we're just wishing here), the Glock 19, and a SIG before making the final decision. Like many of you've said - reliability is the first criteria. I'd still probably take the Glock 17 over the others.

Glock 19.

Probably a Glock 19

I'd lie about the others

I'll stick with my Norinco 213. It looks cool, never jams and is a breeze to take down and clean. The trigger group comes out as an assembly; just dunk it to clean. It's not the most refined pistol, which means it has some looser tolerances than most, which really means that the gun isn't finicky at all. It always works. It's also freakishly accurate. Cheap and very thin, too.

I only have one 9mm and it's a Walther PPS.

 

[RustyShackelford]

ASP 9mmNATO!

Yay!
Alas, they no longer make the custom ASP design. Really it was a S&W model 39 with about 230 modifications, .
If you ever saw a ASP 9mmNATO pistol you'd see why it would be the "best".
Of the more common 9mmNATO weapons in the US, I'd go with a HK P-2000 LEM or maybe a P-30 LEM, .

Big ups to the SIG Sauer P-226 DAK 9mmNATO too.

 

[Shipwreck]

Walther P99 A/S for sure!

I'd trade it in on a .45

but if I HAD to have a 9mm: Tanfoglio Witness fullsize, steel, in Wonder.

I have one in the safe now and it's a bloomin' tack driver.

 

[dhoomonyou]

probably my 2nd response

GLOCK 26

with 17 & 31 rounders for the range.

 

[jocko]

I guess

I guess one has to decide if he wants a good range gun and home gun or one that he can carry concealed. Most of those mentioned in this thread are great range and home guns but IMO certainly not carry guns. I wo uld be hapy with damn near anyone of those mentioned for paper punching and desk drawer but none would float my boat for 24/7 carry.

These "only one" threads come up on almost every forum I visit.

Fortunately it is only a mental exercise because there ain't NO WAY I'd only have one!

For this thread I THINK I'd have to say CZ75 DA/SA SS, though Glock 19 might work as well.

Of what I own my S&W 469 has never done anything to make me want to get rid of it....
