Your Reliable 9mm Tack Driver?

My Glock 34 and my Sig 226. I've had the 226 longer and its prettier:p
 
I have to go with my Norinco 213 in 9mm. It is the most accurate pistol I've owned in the last 16 years. It shoots better than I do. Totally reliable, also.
 
Jericho 941. It rountinlly makes me think I've missed the tqrget completelly, untill I realize that the previous hole just got a little larger.
 
The two most precise shooting factory guns I've ever had were from a gun company I despise....HK

An USPc 9mm that would shoot groups from a rest at 25 yards you wouldn't believe. However, I couldn't shoot it very well at all in IDPA matches. As precise and reliable as it was, I foolishly traded it for a Rem 700VS.

The 2nd is a P9S Target. Even though it has a 'fixed' barrel, you can still wiggle it when in battery. The muzzle isn't fitted to the slide and there is no bushing (very similar to the muzzle on a Beretta 92FS). Yet the thing shoots 1-1.5" groups at 25 yards. I don't understand it.

My favorite 9mm that fits the bill as a reliable tack driver is my custom built 1911 (McCormick frame, Caspian slide, Barsto bbl). I shoot it the best out of all my 9mms, but from a rest it is on barely on par with the USPc and P9S....definitely no better.
 
I still haven't been able to tell much difference in accuracy between my FN Hi-Power or my new stainless CZ-75B. They seem to be VERY accurate and very close in that regard. I can shoot better with the CZ because it fits my hand so perfectly so I'll give the #1 position to the CZ for that aspect.

Coming in at a close #3 though is my Beretta 92FS. It's a police trade-in with some wear on the backstrap area but functionally perfect and the good officer broke it in nice for me.

#1 - CZ-75B
#2 - FN Hi-Power
#3 - Beretta 92FS

Either of these will do it, but the 210-5 is more accurate.
 
My Glock 26 is more accurate than I tought it would be. That little gun makes me look real good at the range. My CZ PCR is also very accurate for a compact style gun. About a toss up between those two for me.
 
Browning Hi Power! Wife had a Ruger 9 with the Polymer frame and that thing was very accurate as well. Had a Beretta 92 FS. Most innaccurate piece of crap I have ever owned. Wanted to throw it in the woods every time I shot it! I tried Fact. ball, HP Reloaded cast, FMJ nothing helped. Everyone that shot it said something was wrong. Maybe overbored? Who knows. Should have slugged it. I carry one at work sometimes, hopefully it shoots better than my old one if I need to use it. BTW nice 210s!
 
while not a 9mm, I am very impressed with the RIA 1911 I recently purchased.

So are the guys at the gunshop carrying Kimbers.

While the Kimbers are "pretty", the RIA is a great working pistol.
 
Everytime I go to the range I will take a few pistols. Regardless of how the others shoot I can always count on my 92FS Inox to make me smile. I also like to hear the "damns!" and "wow!" from the other shooting lanes when they see the rather large, ragged hole in the X :)
 
I'm fairly new to the 9mm but have shot a CZ, Browning and a Glock that really socked 'em in there (friends pistols) and just got a S&W 5906 that shoots as well as either of them with handloaded 124gr Golden Sabre atop Power Pistol.
