I am trying to determine what is the best 9mm platform out there that can meet these requirements:
So far, my short list is this:
Feel free to add to the list and tell me why you (dis)like each. Your experiences and knowledge about it (them) would be appreciated.
- Accuracy: should be close to an average 1911 Govn't model. Groupings should be highly predictable. May use it for IDPA competition, if good enough.
- Trigger: I know nothing can come close to a 1911 but what's the closest for the 9mm? Looking for crisp breaks, short pre and over-travel,, if available.
- Stable manufacturer: a manufacturer who is going to be around for many years to come, not a company that is having financial troubles.
- Customer Service: good customer service and warranty coverage.
- Reliable: should be able to shoot most commonly available ammo (fmj or hollow-points). A few hundred rds for break-in is OK but no more than that. I want something that can be used right out of the box, not something I have to spend a lot of time tinkering.
- 3rd party vendors: mags, holsters etc. should be supported by off-market vendors
So far, my short list is this:
- Browning HiPower
- CZ 75 SP01 series (the steel ones)
- Armalite AR-24
- 9mm 1911
Feel free to add to the list and tell me why you (dis)like each. Your experiences and knowledge about it (them) would be appreciated.
