Plastic Pistol Preference

[jeff270]

Looking for input.
I've been thinking about getting a striker fired 9mm range toy.
Recently I tried the Strike one Speed and liked it quite a bit.
Pistols I'm interested in are the Walther PPQ Match , Strike one Speed and maybe the SP01 Shadow.
Please don't tell me to get a Glock.
thx

The SP-01 isn’t a striker fired nor a polymer but since you don’t want a Glock, get the Shadow.

The Q match is a nice gun but is quite pricey compared to the other 2.

I’ve not tried the Speed but I have shot the Strike One. The only 2 I saw in competition failed miserably. I heard the Speed is an improvement but I really have no experience. The super low bore axis is cool but the Shadow sells the same thing and is a proven platform.

Range toy - S&W SD9VE. A competent shooter can master the trigger, and produce good groups.

Yes, a competent shooter can master the trigger but why? The SD9 vs. the OP’s original selections is like offering a Lada when he wants a GTI.

If it can't be a Glock...the S&W M&P 2.0 isn't bad either. That would be the Skoda then...better than Lada, no GTI yet.

Because if you can get a new one delivered for 300 bucks, taxes in.

Again, true. But I don’t see a budget requirement in the OP’s post. Since all handguns are range toys in Canada anyways, there are still better choices than the SD9. Even S&W’s own M&P series is an improvement.

It’s a waste of $300.

Yes, I can shoot the stupid thing. It’s simply a horrid gun. There are much better choices out there for not much more money.

Ruger sr9 or 9e have great triggers.

Aside from Glock - the leader in this area, for obvious reasons - you might take a look at clones - including the Shadow Systems MR918 and MR920, the PSA PS9, and the Zev OZ9 - as well as the CZ line... such as the P-07, P-09, P-10F, and P-10C.

Canik tp9 get good reviews.

 

[Wendell]

I really like the way the FNS9c handles and shoots, but...

Take a hard look at a Sig P320 X5 Legion.
Imho, the best out of the box on the market right now.

If you liked the Strike One, you could also check out the Stryk B. I wanted a polymer striker range toy as well and that is the direction I went. If it didn't get the B, I would have got the optic ready PPQ, 320X5, or Glock 17/34.

The Springfield XDM competition is worth looking at as well as the SIG 320 x5 legion.

My retired Pastor has an M & P, and it not only fit my hand well, and shot well, but made me realize I like steel guns better. Still if you want plastic, handle one. Trigger was OK too.

A Sig P320 should do nicely
