The Best 9MM pistol

I have just given the 9mm a honest shot after a lifetime of resistence so experience with different 9mm platforms is limited but gonna say Glock 17.

210 for sure. Probably my -5 since I can adjust the sights.
 
Its hard to say, as there were so many great 9mms built over the years. :cool:

Since "best" is subjective, I'll go with most accurate. From my personal stash, I'd have to say its a toss up of the following.


Wolf Ultramatic, Sig Sauer X Five L1, Sig P210-6 Heavy Frame, Smith & Wesson 952-1, Pardini GT9, and the HK P9S Sport.




All these guns are top shelf quality and shoot lights out. I have other pistols that can match them, but not in 9mm. They're pretty much the best ever built from a quality and accuracy standpoint. :)

Benelli B-76. Simple, sexy, accurate, comfortable, capable of DA or condition 1 carry....an all steel classic.

If it is anything like its cousin here, it is a great gun. Besides it is really fun to clear it, hand it to a buddy and say, "Go ahead, take the slide off for me."

Yeah, the Benelli B76 is a very high quality and accurate 9mm. I almost put it in my picture above, but the fact that its double action with small sights keeps it from being on the same level with the pistols I posted.

Now, the Benelli MP3S would have certainly made my picture. Its single action only, very high quality, and extremely accurate. Its just not 9mm...


 
I can do very well with any of those 3 cz (p07, p09, phantom) they are more accurate that I'll ever be. The furst tome I shot at 100 yards free hand was with the compact p07, I was surprised I hit my 10 inch steel target 3 x out of a 16 rds mag.

There is no best. The best is the one that best works for you.

I like the hi-power, but also like the CZ-75. I especially like the C-96 Broomhandle, but that isn't practical (weight and length) unless the shoulder stock holster is affixed (pistol caliber carbine).
 
Almost Better than Sex pistols...

Star 28/30/31, S&W 3rd Gens, Astra A-70, 1990's SIG's, and the Calico 9mm pistols w/ 100-rd mags :D
 
Had a CZ 75B which I liked but never loved. I love my Browning Hi-Power and believe it to be the best - i.e., most accurate, most reliable, most ergonomically comfortable, etc. - 9 mm that I have ever owned or fired. Yes, a largely subjective response, but one I have no trouble offering.
 
I shot one of the higher echelon Sig X5 models last year, and those things are stupid accurate and easy to shoot. It is expensive though. Out of guns that I can actually afford, I enjoy the HK P2000 LEM.
 
Hk p30. Not the greatest trigger, but the ergos are second to none and it is very accurate.

I currently am waiting for my vp9 to come in, we will see how it compares.
 
My favorite 9's

My order of preference:

- CZ P-01 (Feels great in the hand. Accurate. Quick follow-up shoots. If I could only have one 9mm, this would be it because of its versatility. It works well for home defense (14 rds & lightrail), CCW (compact size), and range use (fun to shoot all day).
- Springfield Range Officer 9 (smooth, lowest recoil, the most accurate, just plain fun to shoot, full-size 1911)
- CZ SP-01 (full-size version of P-01, my home defense gun, 18 rds, no hiccups)
- Sig Sauer P226 (great 9, was edged out by the SP-01 for home defense duty, fits my hand nicely, simple takedown, my first 9)
- Dan Wesson Pointman 9 (very refined full-size 1911)

As you may have noticed, I prefer metal guns. I've tried a few polymers, but I never felt like I had a secure grip. The other thing I like about metal guns is the ability to change grips to suit me. All my handguns (except the Sig) sport VZ (G10) grips with various textures.
