I am sorry if this has been beaten to death but I have to make a decision.
I need a 9mm pistol, (no plastic I am saving that for .40 S&W ) I already own a .45 1911 in SS, paid $1,200+ for it. Do I get the 9mm in a 1911, a CZ75B SA or a BHP? (or is there any other metal gun I should be considering). I will spend $1,000 + to get a higher end gun, including the smithing, no matter which of the three I pick. What is your advice and Why? |

i know you said no plastic, but i would recomend the h&k p30 to anyone. i got mine about a year ago and i love it. i have put about 2300 rounds through it (2200 winchester white box, and 100 speer gold dot +p) and haven't had a single problem with it. the thing about it that sold me was the grip. it just feels natural in my hands. plus i have grown to love where the mag release is. that was one of those "why didn't anyone think of that before?" things. the decocker takes some getting used to, but once you do it just becomes second nature.
as far as a metal gun, my dad has a s&w 9mm 910s. it is a good gun. he has only put about 500 rounds through it and no problems so far. da/sa with all the other features of any other 1911. the one thing i don't like about it (except for it being a 1911 style) is the fact that you can't cock it with out the mag in. that seems like it could cause some problems later down the road, but so far it has worked flawlessly. |

I have a Sig P226.
However, you can't go wrong with the CZ-75. I fired one and the SA was a dream to shoot. I've never touched a BHP, but I've heard their triggers leave much to be desired. A 1911 in 9mm is pricey and also lacks the mag capacity. However, it's a 1911. If money were an issue, I'd get the CZ. (The Tactical version is very cool.) However, a 1911 is a 1911. I'm sure some 1911 purists will tell you they only belong in .45ACP and .38 Super. |

I have a CZ PCR, very accurate, fits the hand nice, a dream to shoot....except its DA/SA and I usually don't get the 1st round exactly where I want it so the G19 is my go to 9mm. I guess if the DA 1st shot isn't a problem for you I'd recommend the CZ hands down over the others you mentioned.......

CZ all the way. You can get hi-cap with relatively slim grip and hammer stop safety so you can keep it condition one like a 1911(with either DA/SA or SA only models).
What KIND of pistol do you need though? Compact CCW, Full-size, rail/no rail, etc? What is it for? |
|
What are you going to use it for? CCW, IDPA/IPSC, general range gun?
Lots of good stuff out there. SIG, Glock, Smith, Beretta, CZ, Browning, Ruger, H & K, Walther, take you pick, all of them work well. 9mm 1911 is kind of scarce. Not sure who is making them currently. If possible try and shoot as many different ones as you can. You'll know when you find "The One". |

Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 in 9mm Do your research & you will find this is one nice 1911 And with many features that normally would be near twice the price. I bought this a couple weeks ago & love it & like I said for the price it's awesome. The accuracy is fantastic & fit & finish is beautiful. Very tight action & extremely smooth, And a BIG plus with it being a 1911 Recoil is almost non exsistent. I haven't had a chance to shoot past 20ft..but at that distance it will shoot the same hole every time. |

SIG 229
SIG 228 SIG 226 1911 9mm if for CCW might look at a Kahr K9 or you could get a metal frame Glock LINK |
