How would you define the term wonder-nine? Is it any 9mm ever made, or just the ones that were post WWII, up to the 80's? Would the BHP be included?

I would say any double stack 9mm falls under wonder nine.

I would add that it would have to be a double action, too.

IMO, the BHP is NOT a wonder nine...but many wonder nines are based on an extenstion of the BHP idea.

Thats a "Wonder-nine" by the 1980s definition.

Nothing negative will said about the BHP, so shut up.








ETA the "wonder-nine" has been pegged above, I just had to defend the honor of BHP.

One wag said that it means if you shoot a 9mm into an assailant, you Wonder if it is going to stop him???

Don't bother reacting to this, even at the time it was written, it was merely written in jest, much like saying a .45 ACP will stop an attacking garbage truck with a single shot. – it will right?

I'll drive the truck and you try to stop me with one shot.  But you can't cheat by moving out of the way if it doesn't.

Wonder-9s include Glock 17, Sig P226, CZ75, Beretta 92.

Some people would take that as a compliment.

Wikipedia considers the "ultimate" Wonder Nines to be the SIG P226, CZ 75, Browning HP, and the Glock 17...
