Top 5 best 9mm pistols

[acliqueof1]

Based on owning past and present:

1. Sig 229
2. Glock 17 Gen 4
3. Beretta 92F
4. Browning Hi-power

Hi-power felt the best but mine was a jam-o-matic. Sold it back in 1988. Only own 2 nines now, the Glock and a KelTec P11. There is no way what so ever the Keltec will belong on anyone's "Best" list. It is just a cheap pocket gun.

^ Madness.

Sig Sauer 226 has to be on the list due to it's method of lock. Seems the majority of new pistols introduced borrow from it.

I'd put the P-08 Luger Tied with the Walther P-38, the Luger for being first and the Walther for being a step up.

The Hi Power, hmmm....it should really be number one as it was probably the most influential semiautomatic handgun to ever be designed.

Round it out with the CZ-75 in second and the Glock 17

probably like this

1. Hi Power

2. CZ-75

3. Sig Sauer P226

4. Glock 17

5. Walther P-38/Luger P-08

3. Sig 226, time tested and combat proven.

4. M-9, like the Glock, combat tested and constantly updated, easy to shoot and accurate.

5. CZ 75, Almost like a modified Hi-power, accurate, easy to handle and control.

I'll agree with this with an added honorary mention of the Pistole Parabellum 1908 Luger.

1) XD-M. Can't beat 20 rounds out of a 4 1/2 in barrel. Great trigger and adjustable grip size. The grip safety is just enough to make it safer than others. Loaded chamber indicator is a great feature.

2) Sig 226/229 You can use 18 round after market mags in both. Best 9's with external hammer. Solid contruction and feel great. Decocking lever is another plus.

3) Glock 17/19 Most utilitarian pistols around. These are the AK-47's of pistols. Interchangeable high capacity mags and the same 5 1/2 pound trigger pull on all of them. The Glock 26 is about the best mini 9 out there.

4) Beretta 92. Another wonderful 9. For me the most accurate. 18 round after market mags make it a great fighting pistol. I sent mine to Tooltech for night sights.

5) Browning HP. Used one for years. Used Brazilian 15 round mags. Great shooter and fought with it a bunch of times. Issued to me in 1970. Still have it. Always disliked the mag disconnect. Haven't carried it regularly for years. I carried the HP and a 1911 for about ten years - yes both at the same time.

I have all of the above. They all have night sights and no other do-dads. I feel adequately armed with any of them. Lately I have been partial to the Glock 19 and the XD-M9. I don't use a holster. I use a Clipdraw.

High capacity and good ammo choice make the 9's the best and most utilitarian self defense and target pistols for the one pistol person. For such persons that need only one pistol for carry and home defense I recommend the Glock 19. It is perfect for beginners and used by spec ops guys as well. The range of utility is very good.

One gun choice- the XD-M!
