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. Frankly, I like the Tanfoglio copy of the CZ-75 even better than the real thing, the smaller-framed ones, at least, before they made the "one size fits all" things. I had a CZ-75, nice gun, but the Tanfoglio was better than my very early CZ. I've also had four Hi-Powers, and like them just as well. A couple of them were REALLY great shooters, the other two, not quite as good. All in all, they are top-notch.

Winner, winner! Chicken dinner! Damn fine nine.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Sig 228, it's the only one I have left. CZ75 for a close second unless you have a Kadet upper for it.

My favorite all steel 9mm would be the Star BM. It is still a keeper.

Honorable mention to the hi-power and the cz75/variants. But have to go sig 226. Pair of slim alum grips, short reset trigger, action job, the thing is beastly fast and still accurate. As art, it leaves me cold. DA /SA and hammer release, blech - 1980’s and popped collars. But as function? Bedside pistol. Complete confidence in. Feels like an offensive weapon.

It'll do...could do a lot worse! Bob Bob, that Luger is in fine shape. Enjoy. My brother has my Dad's P38 he brought back. It's in good shape, but still not as nice as that Luger.

I can't afford a real Hi Power, but I do have an FEG clone, and I really like it. I'll go with the Hi-Power.

It'll do...could do a lot worse! Bob Nice! Mines in decidedly worse condition but presentable. 1915 DWM. I bought it 35 years ago from an old guy whose older brother brought it home from France after WWI. I should dig it out and snap a pic of it.

One can never really have too many Hi Powers...this one was purchased with my monthly GI Bill check, new in the box, in 1980. Shoots superbly in stock mode, without any modifications. Bob ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/F7LiYB3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/CKmqrhf.jpg)
