Best Bang For Buck--9mm

[a j cave]

A buddy of my son has been shooting with him and decided he too, would like a 9mm handgun. What do you guys & gals think is the best for the $$. This is just casual shooting & he lacks lots of $$. I have one of the 100 $ Norincos from a while back but not sure on reliability for a new shooter. (still NIB ) Thanks for any ideas & will pass them along.

Ruger SR9 if you can find one.

Dont think he is talking about ammo.

Glock.

It's competitively priced, but more importantly, it's accessories are more inexpensive than most and easy to obtain.

norc 1911 in 9mm... best bang for the buck.

honestly unless he's reloading or a 50 rounds a month type get him to buy a .22 lr of some sort. The price of most any 9mm firearm adds up to the price of a few cases of ammo. My ammo costs outpaced my firearm costs within a few months. It's an expensive sport to be involved in.

best bang for buck 9mm

well if it was my choice I would choose either an older CZ 75 or a newer one . all steel pistol . tell him to save his coin till he ready to go all out . and he should buy a single stage reloader to reload his own ammo.

My choice too for these very reasons.

The Smith and Wesson M&P is a great deal.

It's a great deal because it comes with three magazines, a Blade-Tech holster, and double mag-pouches.

I wish every gun came like that.

Jericho 941

 

[Musky Hunter]

Shadow or G17

 

[Woodeneye]

A g17 or a Norc 9mm 1911

 

[syncro]

M&P range kit. Reliable, good out the box, good ergos and comes with a bunch of accessories. No better value IMO

 

[Blueglass]

I would suggest a Beretta 92FS as I have one and its fabulous to shoot period. Proven to be one of the most dependable pistols in the world.

 

[andrew3081]

S&W M&P 9 range kit. You can get the gun, 3 magazines, speedloader, hostler for gun and magazines for only $699 is most places. Some place sell them for $650-699

+1 for Norc 1911 in 9mm.

my NP-29 gets better and better the more i shoot it.

All steel working 1911 for $350? .. seriously how can you top that?



but it is rough, and a person might be disappointed if the said person had high expectations.

any gun in decent finish is going to cost $500+.

He will be good with the Norinco, good value and gets him in to a handgun right now. He Can always upgrade when he finishes university.

Big K-- guess he can use the Norinco if you let him. A 22 auto might also be helpfull. I know where there are a few laying around!!! The same place has a box full of reloading equ. Ie; press scale and a few others. Taking up space in shed. You really need to make a trip to Alta. .
