Suggestions for new 9mm?

[guyfromohio]

Agree with other posters... If you can find a 226 in your price range, you will have fulfilled your mission in style. The CZ is awesome though.

I say go "Old School".

Heavy? Check. Durable? Check. Can hold 15+ rounds? Check, if you get the 32-round drum attachment. Under $650? Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

Heavy....durable.....under $650.... CZ75b!!!!!

And we have a thread winner.

How about a Stoeger Cougar in 9mm. Heavy, durable and way under $650 new. Mine has aftermarket Beretta grips.

CZ P01..(14+1) Ultra reliable, perfect size and weight. Good carry gun also.

Another vote for CZ 75 B.

 

[strange246]

Under $650? Easy CZ75B or a EAA Witness in all steel config (and have alot of $$ left for practice ammo)...

Another vote for the CZ 75s. I picked up a 75 Compact a couple months ago and love it.

www.best9mm.com. Good reading there. Bersa Thunder 9? The others mentioned, particularly (to me) the Stoeger and the CZ-57, seem to be excellent, budget-minded performers, and handsome to the eye as well.

Walther PPQ hands down, no questions asked.

 

[el Godfather]

Let me suggest Baikal Viking.

Its tough, metal, heavy and holds 18 shots. And it may be found quite cheap.

 

[tarosean]

FN's High Power or a 1911 in 9mm (not sure who makes them in your price point thou)

 

[918v]

Glock 17L

 

[viking499]

CZ, HiPower or Sig.

I own a couple of the first one. Had a HP, but foolishly sold it.:banghead: Shot a buddies Sig, liked how it shot, but not how it fit.

 

[Furncliff]

Cz 75b (there's an excellent .22 conversion made by CZ for this)
1911 9mm Rock Island Armory, excellent price great CS

 

[sigarms228]

While I love my Walther PPQ and consider it one of the finest 9MM pistols available today I would not consider it to be "heavy" as the OP desires.

I like my CZ PCR. It is heavy enough but will only carry 15 if you have one in the tube. Haven't had any problems and it shoots all the bulk and cheap tuplio russian hard ball ammo with out a hick up and very accurate

 

[gator-1]

sorry forgot to say it is under 600. The metgar mags work as good as the factory, in fact they look almost the same. Just my two cents. Might try going to the range and trying out a few that they have to rent. Shooting will help with your decision but the danger there is you may find several that you just can't live without. lol Good luck

 

[Thlax]

Ahhh missed the heavy part. It does have metal mags tho! But yes, it is not that heavy in the end. If I can shoot well with it, i dont care how heavy or light it is...thats not the point. Thats why PPQ amazed me. Great gun.
