9mm opinions

[Hohn]

Im thinking about getting a handgun for personal protection should I get a 9mm or something bigger

9mm is plenty sufficient. Don't let you're ego push you to a larger caliber you don't need and won't like as much.

My preference for 9mm is the CZ platform. For carry, I like the CZ 75 Compact but for general range fun, I like the full size CZ. Other than the CZ, I like the Glock 19 or 26. They are simple, no frills 9mm pistols that work pretty well.

I absolutely love my Taurus PT99, but then again, I also have a Tanfoglio TA90 (CZ75 clone) that is a dream to shoot as well.

I love my Taurus PT709 .... it's my EDC

I have a CZ 75 BD and love it. One of my favorite handguns. Reasonably priced. Reliable. Fun to shoot all day long.

Look at Smith Wesson M&Ps.

I prefer glocks. My 26 is my every day carry weapon

I'm looking for a good 9mm myself.

Right now it's down to G19, PPQ, or FNS.

I think the Ruger SR9C is worth a look. It won't break the bank, it's easy to maintain, is reliable, accurate, and just as easy to EDC as it is fun to plink at the range. It's the cheapest gun I own, and I must say, it's kind of one of my favorites because it gives more $$ guns a real run for their money.

This.
IMHO the SR9c gets overlooked. Not sure why. Mine has been 100% from the start. It fits me well. Has a good trigger. Is easily concealed. And comes with a 17rd magazine for better use at the range.
while it may not be tacticool it offers everything I wanted. The biggest complaint I have heard is that it has an external safety. This is a plus to me, as I want an external safety on my semi-auto's. YMMV.

Agreed! I have the SR9c and my son has the SR9. Decently priced. Both are great shooters. They eat everything we've ever fed them. For me, the compact version get the nod because of its versatility. It's definitely worth a look.

I think all the normal territory has been covered. Well done everyone. I like 9mm also.

I think the cz would be a pretty good choice. The size isn't too bad and they shoot amazingly
