Which striker fired pistol would you reccommend?
- Thread starter sirrogue1
- Start date
Got approved for RPAL
So this is the shortlist
Walther P99
Steyr M-A1
CZ 100B
(9X19, DAO all of em) Which one would you reccomend and why?
(Basically I have IDPA in mind.)
Big + whatever to Glock and the M&P.
The above short list would be good if it was what you were aiming to avoid.....
is this advice thru personal experience with walther and steyr? how about simple accuracy, which one would you say is the best...
I also read somewhere on the internet that Glock's unlike steyr and walther are not to be fired with lead core bullets... is this true...?

I'm pretty sure CZ 100 is not availabe here...
I used to have Steyr but sold ot to fund the M&P purchase it not a bad gun but I like M&P better (which is what I would recommend). Walther P99 is decent choice too IMO; very good ergonomics but they are expensive...
....Only glock I would beinterested in is G29 because there are not a lot of choices in 10mm.

If I wasnt ridiculously lazy, I'd take pics of the targets, to show the comparison in accurace, as well as post the videos I took to show I was holding both guns the same way, and not limp wristing or anything.

If you're looking for accuracy, the Walther P99 is really in a class of its own. The trigger is by far the best of any polymer gun I've tried. I'm referring to the "older" model which has a SA/DA trigger, the newer post-2004 models come configured with different types of triggers, no experience with these...
ACCURACY IS A FUNCTION OF THE SHOOTER....
How many times do I have to say it. The operator/shooter is what makes or breaks your groups. Every pistol will feel different in everyone's hands. This inherent comfort aids the shooter in producing more consistent groups. The important piece of the puzzle is the shooter/operators skill set. Some say brand X shoots better than Y, others say the opposite. So is it the pistol or the shooter? Seeing as how the only change in the experiment is the shooter, the answer must be....THE SHOOTER!
All handguns are "accurate". Not all shooters/operators are competent in either their ability, multiple models, or both. Buy a quality pistol, take some PROFESSIONAL training and practice.
