What would your first 9mm be?

[bjhill]

Cz75 or 85 S+W M+P

 

[relliott]

For competition: Tanfoglio Stock II or CZ SP01.

 

[capp325]

HK USP Stainless. If I could do this all over again, I'd made the same pick.

 

[medicstimpy]

Another vote for the XD9!

Unless of course you just want to end this debate once and for all...

Any brand of 1911 in 9mm!

Nuts with all these striker and SA/DA options. Nothing beats a good ol' 1911. (Not even my XD-9&45).

Cz75 or 85 S+W M+P

YUP!

 

[phatns2pid]

I'd still likely have gotten a Steyr MA1 even if cost wasn't an issue. I've got quite a fondness for this pistol.

Another vote for the Sig P210. Once a year I get to shoot one of the Swiss Club's 210's at the Schutzenfest in Vancouver. The second year I tried it, I pulled off an 89 at 50 metres, good enough for a medal. Thats one accurate gun, and feels right in the hand, too.
Second place goes to the CF Browning Hi-Power, lots of memories there.

 

[werewolf]

Same as the first time, CZ 75.

 

[rustysdream]

S&W M&P9

+1

It's reliable, accurate, has very comfortable grips and it's great value for the money.
Looks kinda ###y too.

 

[dannyair]

Baby Eagle or Glock or a cool 9mm 1911.

 

[Exoce†]

Started with an NZ-85. I'd do it again under the same circumstances. If money was no object I'd probably go for a SAO CZ-75b.

A Ruger P89 would seem nice to start off with (decent price too!). I would of picked the Glock 17 but frankly i'm scared of the pistols without a manual safety.

Why? Finger got a mind of it's own?

My first was a Browning High Power. There weren't any Glocks then.

My first 9 mm was a S&W 439 about 24 years ago, but since have bought a STI Trojan in 9mm, great gun, shoots well, no problems whatsoever

 

[agit-prop]

Mine was a factory nickel plated high power.

 

[Brutus]

If I had a higher income, & an opportunity to purchase, my first and only
9mm would be a Sterling Police Carbine.

What?

And IMO I just think too much, and have come to believe that without a manual safety, a glock will lead to an accident .

G17 would be my recommend first handgun. doesn't matter which caliber. SInce you mentioned 9mm, then the G17 or G19. Why? Cheap, out of the box accurate shooter, easy to reassemble/disassemble, clean. No need to buy "upgrade" or "custom" parts in order for it to hit the x. No need to pay a gunsmith to do anything. Its a very easy gun to understand.

Not having too much experience with the 9's ( I have a H&K P7 M8 and a Baby Desert Eagle) , I enjoy the latter for sheer plinking more than the former (even my wife likes the BDE more than the former), I can't find any fault with the Israeli product, especially when equipped with the appropriate rubber grips.
