recommendation for 9 mm pistol

[airgunandy]

Ruger Blackhawk with the optional 9mm cylinder?
By swapping cylinders you can shoot all kinds of ammo, 9mm, .38 spl, and .357 magnum, what ever you find available and/or cheap!

Smith & Wesson M&P9.

The thing fits my hand like a glove and recoil w/standard loads is almost negligible.
Easy to strip/clean, lightweight and good looking.
Cost? Heckuva lot less than a Glock.

Just my 2 cents.

the walter pk380 will definitly be a chioce for being a life saver its lightweight 8 plus one round i had one in 1994 and saved my life against 3 thugs.my second chioce will be the ppks 380 7plus one extra round both guns r powerful and very accurate .easy access to getting the rounds .my father never bought a gun unless it was a smith and wesson 38 hammerless he felt so safe with it and im so glad that we never had to use it cause takin someone life besides in a war is insane but a man got do what a man got to do .jorge..

I know it's not as small as most of the pistols that have been mentioned and is a little more expensive but it will fit under your seat and it provides a devastating blow at close range. The Taurus Judge. It shoots .45 Colt or .410 shotgun shells. Shotgun shells are still reasonably priced and available around here. Let us know what you decide on.

What do you folks think of this CZ pistol?

 I like the looks and price of the  Keltec P-11, but FTF with a "limp" wrist (like a hurried shot) is just not too cool, period. My Glock won't fail under those circumstances.

Maybe a Glock 26 to take advantage of the six magazines I have for the G19...

The Kahr looks interesting.

Maybe I can hold off with just the one pistol...

The CZ's are nice.  I would spend the extra and go for the RAMI, polymer frame, .40SW and I would be careful buying a used pistola.  You do have a birthday coming up, don't you?

The CZ 75 has a reputation as being a superb pistol.

OK, I'm finally ready to buy! And would have tonight if there had not been a thunderstorm at rush hour.

My decision is for a sub-compact 9mm pistol, and for the Kel-Tec PF-9. This is a single stack pistol with a short barrel and a small frame.
Remember, I have a Glock 19. The concept for me is a concealable pistol for a commonly available round with decent power.

Tommy tells me to get the Ruger LCP, but .380 ammo is still hard to find and expensive. I have a decent supply of 9mm and can buy more at Walmart inexpensively.

Anyone ever shot this pistol? I see a lot of differing opinions, it seems that the later production guns are OK, but I kinda figure it will never be a pleasure shooting range gun.

I have a 380 (pistol), - pick your manufacturer, might be worth a thought. Personally though, I prefer a revolver, and have "a few". Most folks seem to think they need a hand-held cannon, - they're wrong.

Jerry, I own a Kahr cw9 and love it. It has never jammed or stove piped on me ever. I did the standard 200 round break in with no problems. Small and compact, its my pocket rocket when I go out.

Google Kahr cw9 and read the reviews.

Jerrycup,

 Are you an NRA member? They have a really good article comparing nine (9) concealed carry 380s in the February 2010 issue of American Rifleman. A quick review would tend to indicate the brand-spanking new 380 Taurus will fit your bill regarding function and price: it even made the cover.

Jerry,

 On second thought if your anywhere near Iowa I could make it possible for you to put your hands on a few different models: price independent and price dependent.

if your looking for sub compact and need high capacity magazines and inexpensive
kel-tec p-11
not your range gun but will get the job done
and it takes smith and wesson 59 magazines 15,17,20,30 round magazines
i put 500 rounds through mine to get the feel and not one malfunction
i paid 225 out the door with a 20 round magazine looks stupid hanging out the bottom but its 20 rounds
