All Steel 9mm?

[Pr589]

"improved" meaning built to work around Brownings patents
so debatable

Improved meaning...no mag safety, better trigger, better sights, repositioned safety, DA/SA option. Proof needed to demonstrate that the changes were only to work around Browning patents or else not so debatable.

Personally, I like the CZ SP-01 Shadow followed closely by the Sig P226. I don't think you would be disappointed by either of those. Having said that, what I (or anyone else) likes is, for the most part, irrelevant. The only thing that really matters is what works for you. Go into your local gun shop and take a look at any or all that might interest you. See what feels the best in your hands. See which one has the controls (slide release, mag release, safety or decocker, etc) that feels the most comfortable and natural for you. Bring it up to you shooting position and see which one "points" the most naturally for you. When you do these things, it might surprise you what you ultimately spend you hard earned cash on.

Cz and 1911....both in whatever brand and caliber you prefer....

Look wise, the hi-power is right there. Shooting wise, not so much. I'd pick a 1911 in 9mm over a hp. I'd take a p226 elite stainless, a cz 75 and a beretta 92 inox over a hp.

CZ is pretty nice. love my 75B stainless. SP01 was nice too shouldn't have sold it.

The 92 INOX is still an aluminum frame, so it's not all steel if that's what the OP is looking for.

I'll give you the mag safety. Everything else meh.

As well as other Model 92/M9 pistols, other than the rare-as-can-be all-steel "Steel I" model.

thanks for the replies..

For my part, i went with a CZ85 Combat and i'm completely satisfied. It's all i wanted from a 9mm.

 

[GLS_1956]

I like my Hi-Power. The 1911 will have a better trigger.

 

[saskcop]

CZ SP01. A 9mm 1911 just isn't right ...

 

[edwin-97a]

Yup 100% right!

hipower. the original. the others are copies of the original.

What steel 9mm do you like the best? I am thinking HI Power? I have never shot a cz, but I hear they are nice as well..

Hi-Power, 1911, Sig P226ST or Elite Stainless.

Sig P210, Sig X5, HK P7 or Sphinx if you want something more exotic/expensive.
