Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Your vote for the BEST wondernine?

Copy this....

I had a 19 for awhile, it just doesn't fit my hands. I like them better than the other Glocks, but they don't fit my mitts. The BHP and CZ75s fit me better. We ain't arguing here, you and me, just expressing our opinions. If I had to have a Glock, it would be another 19, but I'd rather have an XD or M&P, they fit my hands better.

We're disagreeing, but only in degree, and I don't really care enough to get in a knock-down drag-out fight about it. If it fits your mitts, it'll probably be okay.

With the safety on it, (the "S" model) it's sort of a mashup of the P226, 1911, and your favorite poly pistol. And the grip feels better to me than anything else I have tried along that line.

Gotta say, that pistol hit a lot of branches on it's fall from the ugly tree. Maybe just me...

High-capacity
Striker-fired
Polymer-framed
Nitrited metal

This defines the modern wondernine to me.

Glock 17
H&K VP9
S&W M&P

Are at the top of my list. Pick whichever trips your trigger.

Indeed, it is ugly. To me, there are so many hi-cap 9's out there that are extremely reliable and very accurate that you have to consider price and aesthetics when you set out to do this thing. That disqualifies uglies like the H&K and Glock.

The OP first said "wondernine" and then "hi cap 9" which are not necessarily the same thing. All wondernines are hi cap 9's but not all hi-cap 9's are wondernines. Also, I'm not sure that modern polymer, striker-type 9's are really the originally defined wondernine.

Of the originals, I'd have to give the nod to CZ-75 types. Of the polymers, I'd have to say the M&P.

I have owned and tried the older Smith Auto's, Sig Auto's, HK Auto's, Beretta Auto's, they are all gone. I don't think High bore axis, inconsistent trigger pull (first shot), and long trigger resets are me. I even had a Shrapnel gun (the smaller mag capacity one) for a while great gun but you should stick with that type of action.

My HK VP9 is a sweet shooting pistol. I'm much more accurate with it than more Glock 17 and 19.

H&K will have to do away with that ridiculous fugging mag release, as well as get a few more years under their belt before they can go on my list.

Seriously, that mag release is a POS. Classic example of German over-thinking.

Seriously, it's easy to reach. Different than most anything else? Yep.

It's a POS design.

People rave about the "ergonomics" of the H&K but always fail to mention that mag release. Yes it's serviceable but it is a very poor design.

Put 20 shooters on line and you'll see the problems with it. Even with guys that have a lot of time behind the pistol.




Travis

The gun is so accurate, you don't need a second mag.

Tossup for me between the Glock 19, (carry one everyday) and an FNC HP.

Bwha ha ha ha

I value your opinion but respectfully disagree.
