Underrated pistols. What guns do you think not getting their due attention?

Almost got one of these but read about irregular ejection of brass in the shooters face. Have you experienced this? Some hate the look but I personally think it's a great looking pistol.

I think those issues were from earlier M9 pistols. L9-A1 is newer. They do come in regular 3-dot sights which is better IMO.

Walther PPQ M2 pistols also has smooth trigger.

Both brands are under advertised really.

Personally I am a 1911 and Sig fan, and all the guns mentioned above are all decent guns, I have at one point or another owned and enjoyed them all, but none of them are really underrated, they are all well north of $500.00 and you are getting what you pay for, but I have also been doing this for over 40 years and in my very extensive and vast experience I have to say that the most underrated guns available have to be the Norinco range, all cheap, all well reverse engineered clones of the originals, and all of them work well, they go bang every time, the more you run them the better they get, I have a couple that are nicely broken in that shoot circles around my SIG's with ease, I dumped all my custom $1000.00 plus Glocks and CZ's (But Not My SIG's) and have been using Norc 1911 TT Sport's, NP22's, 34's, and NZ85's for about the last three years, they are working so well that I don't even touch my high end guns anymore, 1911's, NP22's and DA762's are all giving me good center mass groups at 50 plus meters and with no FTF's or FTE's after hundreds of rounds down range on a days shoot, they take the beating and spare my over priced SIG's and 1911's the hammering I put them through, so reliable are they that if we were carriers, one of them would be my go too piece, they have to be the most underrated guns on the market, but that's just my 2 cents worth.

I have to agree with this, as far as my limited experience, so far I have a few Norc/Da .45's and love them, solid guns, accurate and reliable!
Can you tell me which one you would use for carry if we were permitted! I am looking at the NP22 for my next clone purchase.
I also think the Polish TT33 is a great pistol, runs great and fits my hand very well!

Agreed: another vote for the TT33.

Buy 'em while you can. I suspect in a short while many will regret that they had the chance to buy one cheap, and didn't.
 
Sti gp6 (k100) was my first pistol...will always have a place in my heart...but the total lack of sales and after market support forced me to say goodbye....

yup, was terrible before. David Copping is doing a great job now as Canadian distributor for Grand Power. Stocks all the parts and mags, and able to bring in the new models to Canada before even the US market gets them :)

I had a Grand Power K100 mark12 that I got on sale dirt cheap when Dlask was dumping the them 2 years ago. I was looking at them for years prior so wanted to love it, but it left me rather meh. There were flaws in the finish and overall didn't quite measure up with other guns that are the same price when not on sale. \

Might be a bit personal preference but IMO they ruined the looks when they updated the design from the 9mm to include .40 models by removing angled slide cuts on the front of the slide like the STI GP6 had. Overall I just liked my gen4 G17 a lot more so sold the GP, no regrets whatsoever. If I miss any polymer gun it would be CZ P-07 and maybe FN FNS9.

Norc NP34 - SIG P229 clone. Extremely reliable and compact. Shoots great. At $340 (at Tenda) it is a steal.
 
The FNX 45 Tac is an amazingly accurate pistol soft shooting for a 45. Multiple back straps, factory cut out for optics, threaded barrel and in the land of the free high mag capacity for the 45 acp. Hands down my favorite pistol
