Suspect a few Browning HP, CZ, Sig, and 1911 model fans, based on accuracy, reliability, grip feel.
What has been your fave non-polymer 9mm? Thoughts are for a range and car/home PD use, likely 4-5" barrel.
Fixed or adjustable sights?

CZ-75... Or 85 if you are lefty like me.
Followed closely by Hi-power.
If I was going for class over comfort... I'ld reverse that order.

Browning Hi Power, Beretta 92, and CZ 75 P-01 Compact. A close contender would also be the Kahr K9. Not a Sig P-Series fan. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/images/16133_1.jpg)

For your use, I'd also be asking the question steel or aluminum frame?
Although to me "range" and "car/home PD" use are two different things as far as what trigger action may be preferred. I do see that a big common attribute between the two is since you don't need to carry it, you can afford a heavy, easy to shoot pistol.
Since the sights shouldn't get much "carry abuse", I'd consider adjustable, especially if you want to hit stuff on the range.
Just based on looks and "cool factor", I think the Hi-Power is one of the dead sexiest looking pistols ever made.
I luv me some 1911 too, but 9mm and Hi-Power just go together.
All that said, I've never owned a Hi-Power. But if a really sweet deal on one ever pops up . . .

CZ 75 BD for a full size 9mm and a CZ P-01 for a compact model.

Fixed or adjustable sights? Always liked the Browning Hi-Power although I never owned one, just shot those owned by friends. The de facto favorite is a Beretta 92FS since that's what I carry in the car and shoot at the range the vast majority of the time. Fixed sights but I bought a replacement rear sight from Beretta that has three different height interchangeable blades held in place by opposing set screws, so it offers some elevation and windage adjustments. Got it set to print right on top of the front sight at 15 yards.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

For sheer cool and laser accuracy I’ll take a 210.
For utility and affordability it’s the BHP for me.
