What would you choose as your first 9mm gun if you could do it all over again. Lets pretend cost of gun does not matter.

edit: and of course why!
 
I am a cheapo but with a very high demanding. I want the best purchase and worth the money. I offered our club members to shoot my 686 and of course I asked them to try their 9mm gun so I almost try most of the 9mm out there. end up I bought a CZ 75B and to be one of the best buy that I've ever made. Having said that Sig, HK USP, Glock and Beretta all made outstanding 9mm but just too expensive by that time. I will still buy a CZ if I could do it all over again.

My choices are both expensive but I have loved both. I had a full sized Walther P88 that I sold. Guess what? Yes, it was the most accurate and reliable 9mm I had ever shot but no longer. now that the bugs have been worked out my current 9mm custom Colt 1911A1 is the best I have fired. Anyone that thinks a BHP is a joy to fire has never tried a good 1911 9mm. I sold the Walther as it was too expensive to use as a range gun; I bought the 9mm custom Colt 1911A1 for $1,000 (US) and dumped another $500 into it. Don't I ever learn. Regards, Richard:)

My first 9mm was a CZ 75 pre-B back in the early 80's. Currently, my 9mm pistols are HK P7's (P7M8 and PSP) and a Glock 17 but have 'gone through' a 9mm Sig P220, S&W MP9 and Baby Eagle. If I were starting anew and cost wasn't a consideration, I'd be looking into a Sig P210 or Sig X5......
 
For a service pistol, I'd say a G17. I held out on buying a Glock for a long time, and while I do believe there are better quality service pistols out there, the Glocks still do it so well for a fraction of the cost of other pistols.

For quality, it would be my Sig Sauer X5 SAO; should have bought one years ago. :D
 
The first 9mm I would buy if I had to too it all over again would still be the first one I bought.

Norinco NP-28

Go ahead and blast me for saying I like buying chinese made guns. Hey, they work really well and shoot everything I put into it.

Later................
 
nothing wrong with chinese made guns..some of them anyways...

my norinco's all preformed well.

but if I had to do it all over again, I would get the HK P7 first, just because I know now what I thought I knew then, but I really know now
 
Depends, are you planning on replacing it soon or never sell? Do you know what you like - light (plastic), medium (alloy/two tone), heavy (steel), really heavy (stainless steel).

Can pretend to do it over but not that cost not matter it does as I would prefer to have two fairly good and very different from each other than one very good.

I went with a SP01 (safety & night sights) from EE, figured if not like it could sell it not a big deal, still have it, like it a lot. Then a new Beretta Inox. Then a Elite II from EE thinking it would be the keeper/never sell - turns out I like it nearly the same as the Inox and wife likes the Inox better... its sold.

But okay, cost no object the Beretta 92 I-steel but...

Unfortunately the Beretta Steel I is still not available in Canada, we do have them on order, however it's been approximately a year and a half since it's been on order. Sorry for any inconvenience.

So Sig P226 Elite STS it is.
 
I'd go for CZ CUSTOM SHOP CZ 75 SP-01 but it's not approved for IPSC Production (too good of a gun :D).
I may still wanna get one as it IS approved for USPSA Production.
 
There are a lot of nice options that have been mentioned. Right now, I am looking for my second handgun (had a cz75 for a couple years and really like it). I bought it without handling it and got lucky I guess, this time I am going to try and handle all of my options first. If the gun doesn't fit right, it doesn't matter how good it is.

If the cost of the gun didn't matter & I know what I know now my choice would be a Sig P210.... that said if I had to go the route I did inside the real budget I operated with then I'd start with what I have settled on: Browning Hi Power MkIII.

'Course not having owned all those Beretta 92's, the S&W 59's, 469, 459, CZ 75's before the BHP MkIII I'd have lots of extra money to have got the Sig P210, too. :redface:
 
We'll funny you asked cause I bought my first gun a few weeks back and shot it for the first time today...CPO sig 226, 9mm, west german made,and although I'm a total newb I was shooting 4-6" groupings at 20 yards today.Not to shab I'd say and if the cost of ammo becomes more than I want to afford i can do th 22 conversion. All said I paid $850 with the 1 year warranty, but I don't have the fancy rail on the front of it....
 
My first was a 2nd generation G17.

Out of all the handguns/rifles I've had the chance to try, it would be a USP9.
 
First 9mm all over again?

I'd have to say a Glock 17 with adjustable sights. Way back when the price of a glock 17 was $1100-ish... so I bought a Ruger P89. :D
