Who makes the best 9mm pistol?

[speaksoftly]

#1) Sig P226 SCT

#2) Smith and Wesson MP 9 Pro

#3) Beretta 90-Two

Yeah if sig used good powder coating like the HK usps then they would be just as good if not better than hk usps. They are more accurate than them I know because I had them both.

I like the Beretta 92FS in a full sized 9mm, reliable, accurate, proven, spare parts and magazines abound, simple to operate. Good weapon for home defense: you have 15 in the magazine, and the piece is reliable with hollow points. I keep mine loaded with 124 grain Golden Sabres.

I would have to say the XDM is my favorite. I was hitting a coffee can at 87 yards yesterday.

That is a tough question.

The Sig P210 is highly regarded as one of the best and the most accurate.

The Browning HP is considered one of the best ever.

The CZ 75, especially the P-01 is a great 9mm.

The Sig P226 is a fantastic 9mm .

The Glock 9mm is widely regarded by some as the best defensive pistol ever made.

For me, the M&P 9C has all the best combination of all qualities that I think make it a great weapon. It is reliable, super accurate, great ergonomics, etc.....

I think as far as modern 9mms the Glock, P226, P-01, and the M&P (probably the XD 9mms too but my experience is very limited with them) are just too close to call and it will vary by shooter and by mission the pistol is intended for. The HP and the P210 are great 9mms but they are getting a little long in the tooth compared to more modern offerings. They may still out shoot the new ones though.

 

[Biggums]

Glock 17

 

[Fastcast]

There's many good 9mm but my favorites, not necessarily best, just best of the lot to me.....In no particular order:

CZ-75
Beretta 92FS
Browning Hi-Power

You might want to look at a Beretta PX4 -

Full size



or the sub compact PX4



This newly designed gun has so many new features it would be hard to list them all.

imho - this gun proves that modern plastic guns do not need to be ugly.

Beretta's are know for reliability

 

[Mayo]

No doubt it's either a P226 or P7M8.

 

[15guns]

Nice looking Berretas.

 

[Marshall]

Agreed, the PX4 with Trijicons will probably be my next Polymer purchase.

Great gun and very nice looking!

I say "probably" because the FNP is calling my name too. Actually, the FNP was in first place before they dropped single action version.

My XD-40 service model is still close to my heart. I couldn't argue a thing against it in the polymer arena!

But nothing will ever take tops in 9mm over the FN/Browning Hi Power, to me.

 

[hso]

Nobody

If it's good enough to be the "best" for function and accuracy and reliability it costs too much.

If its inexpensive enough to be the best "bang for the buck" there are usually too many compromises in function, accuracy and/or reliability.

I thought that my STI Trojan was the best 9mm made until I got a Les Baer Premier II in 9mm. Puts Sig 210 in the shade for 2/3s the cost. Another plus, you can buy mags for $15 from CDNN. How much is a 210 mag now?

The Smith 952 is also about as good as it gets. A little bit more than the STI but less than the Les Baer.

I'm going to irritate some people right now, lol. High value fire arm that I'm sure will be perfected over the years as it's popularity grows

Ruger SR9








If it's not the Ruger then my vote has to go to the P226

 

[15guns]

This is not a voting contest. This is just to get peoples opinion. That ruger must be hot off the ruger assembly line cause I never seen one like that before. How much was that doggie in the window?

 

[Wolvee]

$450 :0) It's got a stiff trigger but other than that, 3000 rounds and no issues for me.

 

[Doogy]

my vote goes to the Sig Sauer (SigPro) Sp2022. A terrific all-around 9mm

 

[gmh1013]

Sigpro for 479.00 now

 

[15guns]

Wolvee get a trigger job.

 

[15guns]

Yeah I'm a big fan of sig pros in 9mm with 2 15 round mags. It's the right price plus good options the higher dollar classics have. Now if sig would coat their metal with the hk type power coating it would be so sweet. They need to make double action only sig pros to.

 

[15guns]

I bet budsunshop has them way cheaper wolvee.

 

[DERGLOCKINMEISTER]

Glock 26 , 19 , 17 , 17L take your pick !

 

[leadcounsel]

Glock 9mm dominate the USPC shooting competitions in the USA
CZ 75 P01 dominate similar shooting competitions outside the USA

Pretty big accolades if you ask me. You decide.

 

[FM12]

Browning Hi Power, Sig 226, S&W Gen 3 models
