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

The HK went out of favor years ago. It shot pretty good, but not nearly as popular as a Glock!

"Popular" isn't the same thing as "best". If the Glocks hadn't been cheap, the cops would never have looked at them. Glock sold them under cost to get their feet in the door. They are a good gun, surely, but "best" is very subjective, at the least.


My vote goes to the hoary old Browning Hi-Power, or one of the CZ-75 variants. I just like them better (see, subjective opinion!).

Glock 19 hands down, they just work.

Ratsmaker I love the BHP and have owned one for 25 years, but the G19 is the best size and ammo capacity around. Like you said Best is different for everyone.

Because "best" is generally interpreted to mean "favorite" I'm going to have to go with the tried and true CZ75. I've had mine for years and it works perfectly, and has a great trigger.

If "best" is to be read as truly "best" I'd have to go with the Glock 17 as it really is the gun that kicked off the modern era of semi-automatic pistols and is still the single "best" argument for the 9mm cartridge. I'd also lump the Glock 19 and Glock 26 in as well, as they're just the same bird with slightly fewer feathers.

The Gen. 3 Glock 17 gets my vote! But a Glock 19 is a little easier to pack.

since it' largely subjective, the 'best 9 for me', is the CZ 75D PCR compact.
14 round magazine, good ergonomics, dead nuts reliable, accurate, easy to carry, reasonable weight and size.
I have carried mine several times a week, since 2000, when I picked it up. Zero malfunctions, zero issues.

Hi-Powers, CZ's, Squeez-COCKers, and EAA's...

My ribs hurt.

Here's another vote for the Glock 19...

I really like the G17 and have been carrying one for 20 years.

That said, I'd give the title "best" to the G19. It's just a little more carry-able, without giving up anything significant.

Just to keep it honest, the 20 years I've been carrying had a 4-year break while stationed at Camp Pendleton, CALIFORNIA...

Glock 19

Always wanted to try one of those, but that's just more damn money then I want to spend on a 9mm.

Hard to vote against the G17 or G19 for the last 15-20 years, maybe.

In addition to 4 Glocks, I have several Beretta 92's in various configurations, as well as an M&P, & they are all great pistols, but the Glocks are better in various ways, IMHO.

In the near future though, I'd be betting the H&K VP9 might overtake them though.

is this a real question? G19 is the only answer. I don't have any pretty pictures as mine are pretty worn from daily carry.
