Learned a lot by the feedback, appreciate all. Missed a few P7s over the years, always curious about them, sounds like ahead of their time. Kahr's - yes they are solid, no flies.
Read about possible ammo FTF...with BHP....anyone? Are they all same re: ramp/chamber design? Seems I read certain JHP may not feed well.
Many solid choices. Not one mention of a Springfield EMP? Anyone try one?
Good stuff folks - appreciate all replies. Iv'e shot my brother inlaws EMP and it's a pretty nice, seems very reliable from many range sessions!

S&W Third Gen double stack, any which one will do. Agreed and throw in the S&W 3913. Very nice guns. Especially like the 6906.

We moved an actual crate, 4’x4’x3” wooden crate, of P7s through the gun shop when I had worked there about a year. I shot some of them and they were easy to shoot and superbly accurate. Could have bought one for $400 but just couldn’t really get interested at the time.
Same story on the Swiss trade in 210s but they were about a grand. Wanted one of them but couldn’t justify it to myself at the time.
Wish now I’d have bought a couple of each but haven’t figured out time travel as of yet.
My wife did get me my current BHP as an anniversary gift for $200 when she was working the counter there. I had to give $400 for hers as a birthday gift the next year.

John McClane and Martin Riggs may have had their Beretta 92s, but Axel Foley went with a Browning Hi Power. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.propbay.com/attachments/original/14691d1465188027-hero-browing-hi-power-9mm-prop-gun-bh-eddie-firing-gun2.jpg)

Firestar. It’s the onlly all metal 9mm I have. Plenty accurate and very reliable. I had one in their "Starvel" finish (hard chrome, IIRC). Nice shooter. Accurate and reliable, yes. A pleasure to shoot. Every example I handled though, had kind of a sketchy thumb safety. Traded that for the K9, which is also why I never bothered with the EMP.

No love for the Kahr K9? Damned innovative for when it was made. First PPK sized, single stack, striker fired, 9mm to hit the market, and they were pretty reliable. Although I didn't get a Kahr till they came out with the P9 a few years later. In the twenty years I've had mine, having shot in excess of five thousand rounds through it, I've yet to experience any kind of failure to fire when the trigger was pulled on a loaded chamber. Plenty love here. Have a PM9 amd MK9.

Money might be a factor, but a STI or Chambers double stack 1911 is a Ferrari. A Wilson or Langdon Beretta will spoil you as well.

The original CZ-75 and S&W 39 would get my nod from a reasonably practical using standpoint. Mine make it out to the range fairly often. For old timey fun, though, grabbing the bitsa P-08 is a hoot.

I carried the H&K P9S all over creation for a couple of years. Accurate, ergonomic, and accurate.
Should also mention that it was accurate...
