Went through several pages and thought it odd that a Sig p210 was not listed
Hi Point C9 for $150. They are great guns and you can afford to buy some ammo or beer with the money you save.
Wow Can't believe I missed this thread, as long as it has been around. But I also can't believe that the Ruger P89 series was only mentioned on a couple of lists! I have a P95 DC (basicly in the same family) and like one member said they are tanks! Like everything else made by Bill Ruger's company it is rugged reliable and hard to break. They may not be pretty to everyone and are a bit on the large size but it just has to be somewhere on everyone's top ten list of 9mm's.
If misfeeds and jams are your thing, go for it! I would rather have less ammo but a gun that goes boom every time, just me.
Just out of curiosity, have you even owned a C9? Fired one? Even held one?
I was waiting for someone, to respond..... THE S&W Model 59, was adopted by the Illinois State police, shortly after it was introduced..... IIRC ..... ( might have been the 39).....Now I've been around here long enough to know that you are very knowledgeable. But, I would be interested in hearing how one credits the 92 with being the semi-auto that "led the law enforcement sea change from revolvers to semi-autos. Helped inspire the trend toward higher capacity semi-autos in the commercial market as well". The military didn't put it in service until 1990. I have always (possibly incorrectly) credited the Glock 17 with what you credit the 92. While the 92 had been around since the mid 70's it really hadn't penetrated the US law enforcement market. I was under the impression that until the 17 was introduced most law enforcement were still relying on their revolvers. I thought Glock came to market at the perfect time. Right around the '86 Miami Shootout. A shootout where law enforcement brought revolvers to a semi auto-party and which became the impetus for the move from revolvers.
