Which 9mm handgun

[trebor2880]

I agree with "Terentius" 'bout the advantages of a .22LR. Everyone should have one, if only for the times when taking new people out shooting. Cheap to shoot, and unintimidating.

There's the SD9-VE, good value, throw some apex parts at the trigger group if you want and your good to go for way less than your budget.

Once I got a 9 mm, the .22 never comes out to play.
My first was .45 LC,then .357 ,followed up by 9 mm.

I've had M&P 9, SVDE 9, FN 9, Springfield RO 9,and CZ shadow 9.

Currently I only have the CZ,
But I'm looking to trade my Glock.22 lr for a Glock 17.(for my son).

He just started shooting my CZ and now wants a Glock 9mm .. what ya gonna do

Anyway my point is, get a used CZ Shadow off the EE, they're on there quite often,for 7 to 8 hundred.

Can't go wrong.

i will echo all the rest .....all great pistols are mentioned .... i think , forget models for now .... go to a gun store and physically hold them .... hold and point them ... pretend you have a holster on , and draw up and extend it ..... try and push the mag release without rotating the gun ..... see if you can touch or operate all the controls with your reach of finger .... if you like a certain type , but your fingers are too short , see if they come with adjustable back straps etc .... fit for you is way more important than type ..... i didnt look to see where you are , but if you are near saskatoon , i have a few you can try and fire .

I have to agree with ho to a gun store and handle them. I just bought my 2nd handgun today (1st on fri. Lol) so I can also agree with "be careful, they multiply quick". Just so happens I got the M@P2. I picked up a lot of guns, & it just felt "right" for me. I put 150 rounds through it (great to have a store with a range!) & I'm not disappointed!!

an example of what i mean above is , i have always wanted a 92f beretta since i saw lethal weapon , ...lusted after it , living in new zealand there wernt many around , joined the military , still didnt see them , joined a local handgun club ... saw someone with one .... asked to hold it .........never felt so disappointed .... it felt in my hands cumbersome ... clunky .. fat ... shoot a few mags with it , felt rattly ... hated it .... a few years later picked one up in a gunstore to look at ... felt exactly the same .... it just doesnt fit me ... do i still want one .....yes !!! ... good gun for me , nope ... but i still love the look

Agreed SP01 Shadow if in your budget would be 1 and done-even if it's not in budget-save and wait.
If I can only follow my own advice!

I can buy a used glock 17 gen 4 locally for 500, it is definitely tempting

Go for it. If you don't like it,
You'll easily get your money back on the EE.
