Are you military or LE? If so, make sure you take advantage of the discount programs that the manufacturers offer. Glock, S&W, FN, and maybe a couple others (not sure) offer decent discounts. $460 or so will get you a brand new 17, 19, or 26 with the Glock Blue Label program. I have purchased several this way, and, if you are military.....DO NOT go to the PX/BX. Their prices are shit.

Another vote for the CZ 75 series. I've got a P01 and I agree that there isn't much to grab on the slide. Aside from that, it shoots great, feels great and eats everything I've ever fed it. You could also look in to the new P10C.

Very low profile due to the slide that runs INSIDE the frame (just the opposite of a 1911) I may buy another some day.  _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.

Good looking CZ. I like those grips.
Get some Cajun Gun Works springs for it. |

CZ 75. Try to find a pre-B. I've had mine since 1989. Fantastic pistol.

The XD/XDm series from Springfield is nice but they're so similar to a Glock that you might not like them. Lots of options in double stack 9's but if you want cheap mags that really limits things. The FN 9mm pistols are nice too but you'll pay a little more for mags. IMO HK pistols are pretty meh. You own the beretta 92 already, and said you've already had experience with the CZ's (which are a great option). Probably best to go to a range with rentals and do some shooting. Sometimes you find a winner in a place you'd never thought to look. I have a Canik stingray C that I picked up on the cheap that's become one of my favorite 9mm pistols to shoot. You never know what might just be the right pistol for you until you've shot it. I used to suffer from Glock stigma but since really giving them a chance I've become a huge fan. My el cheapo G17 is one of my most accurate pistols (for me). Time to go put some rounds downrange and let the right pistol find you. XD/XDM are not like glocks. I personally do not like glocks because my trigger finger always rubs on the bottom of the trigger guard. XD/XDM for me has the best ergo's of any plastic pistol. I've got a para 9mm doublestack that shoots very well. it's heavy, so it's pretty soft shooting. The sig 226 is very nice as well. |

My opinion offcourse, yours may differ.
Good, Glock 17/19 Better, XDM 3.8 Best, Sig P226/229 Saying that my daily carry is a 229. |

What is it that you don't like about the Beretta? I wasn't much a fan of the stock trigger in single action. Also hated the slide mounted safety and, in my opinion, for a gun for its size, 15 rounds seems kinda low. While transferring the Beretta today, I got to fondle some doublestacks in the store. I'm really digging the FDE 5" M&P 2.0, but everyone in the store wouldn't shut up about how much they love the Gen 5s and I have to grudgingly admit I did like the new 17. _________________ Regarding classifieds: 1) If the ad doesn't have a "WTT" or "would entertain trades" in the title or body, any unsolicited trade offers will be sent to the trash. 2) Prices are firm unless otherwise indicated, "wats ur bottom dollar" PMs will be ignored. |

Buy what you want, but remember that if you ask a barber if you need a haircut, you shouldn't be surprised he says yes.
The truth is that the "best" gun for you is the one you will practice with, full stop. |

Surely I don't need a third 1911-pattern? _________________ Regarding classifieds: 1) If the ad doesn't have a "WTT" or "would entertain trades" in the title or body, any unsolicited trade offers will be sent to the trash. 2) Prices are firm unless otherwise indicated, "wats ur bottom dollar" PMs will be ignored. |
