Tundra1 391 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've been on a little bit of a buying spree the past month or so. I can't get enough of the steel 9mms. Picked up a CZ 75 and a Beretta 92fs recently. Now I'm eyeballin a Hi Power. Don't think I can get another one past the wife for a while though. So this begs the question: What's your favorite wonder nine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) TUNDRA, YOU JUST MISSED A BATCH OF HI-POWERS OVER AT AIM SURPLUS, RANGING FROM $429-499, DEPENDING ON CONDITION. AIM HAS HAD SEVERAL BATCHES OF THESE RECENTLY, SO I'D GO OVER THERE AND GET SIGNED-UP FOR A NOTIFICATION THE NEXT TIME THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK. IF THE WIFE'S A SHOOTER, SHE'LL LOVE THAT HI-POWER, WITH ITS SHORT TRIGGER PULL. A SET OF PACHMAYERS AND SHE'LL BE READY TO GO. I'VE HAD A CZ-75 SINCE '86, BUT I FIND THE DA PULL A TAD LONG, AND I DON'T HAVE A SMALL HAND. YOU COULD ALWAYS CARRY IT ON HALF-COCK, WHICH BRINGS THE TRIGGER BACK A BIT, OR JUST GO FULL 1911 AND CARRY IT COCKED AND LOCKED.

DLT 1,646 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I currently own a hi-power, 92FS, and CZ75 (but in 40), and my vote goes for the browning hi-power. Hell of a handgun and accurate beyond belief. Great design and easy to clean and maintain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) The only 9mm (and first handgun) that I ever owned sucked, a Taurus Millennium. The trigger was heavy, dragged and it pinched my finger every time, on the reset. I'd take 9mm over nothing! Edited March 27, 2015 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites

semper299 284 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 XD9 with two 16rd mags and two 18rd Mec-Gar mags. Plus a Keltec PF9 with a 8rd mag in the car or my pocket. Love my PF9. I wear it in an Unkle Mike's slide holster in the straps on my vest. One of the "better" triggers I have seen on a KelTec, whose triggers historically have sucked. G17 RTF2 I really want a 17L though. I shoot better with a G17 or G19 than I do anything except a 1911. Would love to handle and own a G34 or 35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I shoot my 24 better overall than my 19 but the size makes it less multi use friendly, pretty much just a Saturday go to the match gun. the 19 will shoot matches too including IDPA that the 24 won't fit the box. I've had a 17L, a 24, and a 34 in the long slide Glocks I'd go with getting a 24 or whatever Glock in 40 cal and get an aftermarket barrel to shoot 9s and if you've got the wants or needs another barrel for 357 sigs Edited March 27, 2015 by the 4th Doctor 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6500rpm 670 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 You never here much about them but for a gun to take out and shoot I like my Glock 34's longer barrel and sight radius. It falls somewhere between a 17 and a 17 long slide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tundra1 391 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 What happens when the wonder nine that is "skull fucking" the other wonder nines "finishes?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I like the category generally. & I am sure I will get double hate for this, but I actually like the Taurus 92 variants better than the Beretta m9 variants. The (unnecessary) safety is in the right place. As for favorite? I dunno, too many types I haven't shot. I do like the 99 /m9 handling a lot though. People who've been preaching plastic guns for years forget how nice a DA/SA trigger can be. -- And that DA/SA is part of the definition of a "wonder 9". These guns are simple to take down, smooth shooting, tend to have great triggers, and good sights. Capacity is decent too. The only real con is that most of them are ~34 oz and bulky. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra1 391 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yes the slide mounted safety on the 92 is awkward at best. It seems to be placed right where I tend to grab the slide to rack. I have no range time on the pt92 but they are one of the few Taurus pistols that interest me. Frame mounted safety a definite improvement for the way I tend to handle this model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 By the strict definition of Wonder Nine, the CZ75 would be my choice. Of any 9mm pistols, the XD9 Tactical. The 9 can use the extra barrel length. Of any pistol, the XD45 Tactical. Mine is 3 feet away as I type this. My XD pistols have been absolutely reliable with all ammunition. The ergos suit me well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 XD 9's are in both nightstands. XD45 is everyday CC. Although I guess I'll have to find a K100 and see if I can crossbreed a new species. Could be good, could go really wrong and end up with a Taurus. No offense GF, the only one from Taurus I like is the judge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
