There are so many good 9mm handguns available to shooters these days and the choices are just humongous.
Going with a full size 9mm handgun for home defense is hard to beat. Combine this with quality loads will give you knock down power and able to rapidly fire accurately is a huge plus. This may be one of the reasons why the FBI have gone back to the 9mm as the primary service pistol for their agents.
Almost hands down 9mm handgun is now one of the most popular self-defense calibers for concealed and open carry. In this segment of full service pistols we’ll look at some 9mm caliber handguns. What makes it a full size is the barrel length. Anywhere near the length of 5 inches we're stating it as a full size.

Here's a quick list not the complete list of some of the best full size 9mm handguns:
Smith&Wesson M&P9 2.0
There have been some changes made to Smith&Wessons M&P pistol. The changes are stronger frame strength, with extra stippling around the grip with a heavy texture, beaver tail has been removed, small front serrations have been added for ease of handling and the top of the slide slimmed down a bit.

Springfield Armory 9mm XD(M)
This handgun is your more bang for the buck. It is packed with features and shoots flawlessly. Pretty fun to shoot with.

Glock 19
Think you all know the G19 reputation for its reliability is off the charts and is by far the most popular handgun in the United States. It is a striker fired polymer frame pistol that other handguns in the same class are compared to and sets the standard for this class of handgun.

Sig Sauer P320
The Sig Sauer P320 (the chosen one) has been chosen by the army as it’s new serive sidearm. It has a lot of variants so finding something that fits your requirements is simple. The trigger breaks around 6.5 pounds allowing for precise and quick follow up shots.

FN FNS-9L Long Slide
With its low price the FN509 is making its mark and it’s giving Glock a run for their money. The stainless steel slide is serrated in all the right places and it comes with night sights. The grip is just like holding a 1911, especially with the pronounced beavertail that lets you get high up on the gun and close to the bore axis. Read the rest of the best full size 9mm handguns.

Speechless.

[Windflier]

I’ll keep my .40 cal on the nightstand, thank you very much.

[Paladin2]

Those bullets would easily get into saboted shotgun round and kill.

[central_va]

That’s fake right?

[Windflier]

Did some research, huh?

Unreal.

[Vermont Lt]

I was looking for that hex bit the other day. I could take those bullets off her hands.

[NorthMountain]

No.

Effin’.

Way.

[NorthMountain]

You might be able to jam that slot-head bit in your hex bolt ... the phillips bit and the two Torx bits might be a little more difficult.

[donozark]

Those Torx will KEEEEL!

[Afterguard]

Whatever. I’ll keep my 92FS, thanks. 12 years and never a fail to feed, stovepipe, or fail to eject. Shoots straighter than I can. (It’s not my EDC, though.)

[ldish]

That’s my pick too!

[real saxophonist]

Glock 19 is NOT a ‘full size’ 9mm.

[NFHale]

The G17 is the full size version. G19 (my carry piece) is the mid-size. The G26 is the compact.

[Vermont Lt]

And just spin that bastard until there are metal filings on the floor. I’ll just get the drill and some vice-grips. Ha ha.

[READINABLUESTATE]

I love my old Browning Hi-Power.

[real saxophonist]

You and I know that. But typically, ‘Am Shooting Journal’ does not.

[Magnum44]

Hard to go wrong with any of the top 4 there. The differences between them are personal preference features.
