I have a norc np29. Love it!!!

Like mine too. But is wasn't too accurate or consistent 'till about 500 rds went through it.

STI. Love it!

Nothing special, just range use on weekends ...

Then if you can find a way to get a STI or a SAM as a second choice

I only have 1911's in 45ACP but if i had an itch for something different it would be in 38 Super.

I've had that itch too, but I'd have to shoot one first to see if I liked the feel.

I own a NP29 and a STI Ranger II in 9mm, I much prefer the Ranger II its very fun to shoot and with STI's recoil system in it I find it feels like I am shooting a .22 at times.

I have a Kimber Stainless II and like it more than than my .45. 9mm is a soft shooter anyways but in the all steel Kimber it's sweet. I havn't had any failures even with light minor or sub-minor loads.

Sig traditional match elite!! Beautiful gun.

Absolutely this! I have a Trojan 9mm and a Sig in 45acp would not hesitate to get one in 9mm. The match elite is stainless has 25 lpi front strap checking for several hundred less than a blued Trojan. Better value in my opinion but both are accurate and reliable.

38supers rock, shoot flatter than a 10mm. Both cost a lot to shoot unless you reload.

Stick with a brand name, because the others uou will always sell.

I was thinking about .38 Super ... but a bit concerned about resale ...?

 

[madcow]

Supers are hard to resell, thats why I am able to snap them up cheaply.

You can always get a 2nd barrel fitted and make it a 9mm too, think Colt only makes 38supers

I have a Kimber custom II in stainless 9mm, great gun!

 

[DealersAdvocate]

Love my Sig! Would really like to try a STI Trojan or a Lawman.

I got the old style NP29 that ive tuned an its my regular shooter now.
My STI n Colt just sit in the safe seems these days.

 

[scriptguru]

buckaroo, how accurate your NP29 is?
I've bought one (was really surprised by fit, finish and trigger) but haven't shot it yet.
