Hi All

What 9 MM semi auto would be the easiest to get parts for in Canada, the most common to have serviced, and the most reliable for IPSC type shooting?

Thanks

LH
 
I'd say the either the Glock or the Browning HP are the only two serious contenders as far as being the most common.
 
Forget about Norinco, but for the price you could buy two, :p Seriously buy any quality 9mm, never had any of mine over the years give me any trouble, let alone break. Had a CZ 75 that I had to loctite a screw that holds down a spring wire, but thats it.
 
Glock, no doubt about it. Parts are cheap and plentiful and easily replaced at home w/o a smith (caution: may void warranty *blah*). Also, lots of guides on the net for how to do this that or the other to your Glock
 
Glock. Not even close.

CZ you have to know where to look. Something like HK forget it. Also M&P would be too new to have parts available - is that correct XD guys?
 
The guys who voted CZ are dreaming.

Breaks down like this:

Eveybody says glocks satisfy your criteria, regardless of what they shoot.

Only CZ owners will claim they satisfy your above criteria.
 
Best of both worlds, get a 1911 in 9mm. Parts available everywhere, dirt cheap ammo and everything that's good about the 1911 for IPSC.

I don't know, having a 9mm 1911 would feel kind of like a bastardization to me. MAYBE in .40 SW, but really...
 
I would pick the Glock since its low maintance and easy to train someone on. Also its very durable and the plasic frame is nicer on cold hands in the winter then a metal frame. Last of all its cheap so are poor army can afford it lol.
 
I have shot both the Glock, and the Para LDA, and my money would go to either. The deciding factor would be ergonomics, one or the other will just feel right.

Advantage Glock

Easy to use
Easy to disassemble/clean
Lot's of parts available

Disadvantage Glock

Lightweight, therefore more felt recoil
Trigger takes time to learn and feels cheap
Stock sights, not everybody likes them

Advantage Para LDA

Easy to use
Lots of parts available (hell, they make them in Canada....)
Heavier frame reduces felt recoil
Smooth trigger pull
Mags are better than Glock for IPSC

Disadvantage Para LDA

Long trigger pull (DA)
 
Glock. Parts are available if one breaks (more likely with the others on the list IMO), replacing any part is a five minute job start to finish (try that on any other pistol on the list). Glocks, there reliable, theres parts everywhere for them, there dream guns to work on, their affordable, the quality and durablity are second to none.
 
Glock even though I dislike it personally.
THat's the thing about a truly great handgun..even people who dislike it for one reason or another would still vote for it ;)

Agreed! I'm not a big fan of Glocks, but I do own one. Abundant of parts and accessories to make it tactical (sort of speak) if thats your thing. For accuracy, trigger, grip and sights, I prefer my Sig.
