I’m happy with my Ruger P89. A reliable work horse weapon.
I have the XDM 9. Very accurate if you can see better than me.
226 baby.....
...never a question.
Hooah! 226 and 229 - best double-tap handguns out there!
ALWAYS reliable.... always true to target...with sight lines that are easy to pick up under stress.
Sig 226 and 229
...get some.
They are not full blown 9mm. They use the 9X18 Makarov round. I have a couple of these pieces and they are tack drivers and the 9X18 is not a bad round, slightly more punch than a .380 but not as much as the 9mm. It is not as powerful as the full blown 9mm but I have carried a Bulgarian Makarov as a carry gun and felt well armed. Just don’t mix .380 rounds in with the 9X18 rounds.
As for the original post a full size 9mm would be the Glock 17, Browning Hi-Power or Beretta 92. Give me the G-17 or the Hi-Power any day!
H&K just a smidge too big for me.
You would have to rebarrel.
None of them are hex bits.
Around 1995 I was talking to an instructor from the Treasury School near Brunswick, GA. The conversation turned to the CZ-52.
I told him about an article I had read in “The American Rifleman” about some of the hot ammo which was apparently safe in that pistol but probably not in a Tokarev.
He said they got a hold of some of that hot stuff and tested it on a bullet proof vest. I forgot to ask what it was but he said that 7.65X25 went right through it.
I wouldn't jump in here but this is a safety issue. It is a myth that the CZ-52 is stronger than the Tokarev. A fellow by the name of Clark Magnuson did some research in this area. In addition, after blowing up two CZ-52's himself he discovered the the area of the barrel under the rolling blocks is exceedingly thin and leads to catastrophic crack propagation and barrel failure with heavy loads. The Tokarev has a thicker barrel and can sustain higher pressures. If you read through the thread linked below to his post you will find a number of references and a description of his personal experience.
“I love my old Browning Hi-Power.”
Me, too. It’s the one firearm in the house that’s consistently loaded.
I don’t know for sure but I still think the CZ is stronger. According to the article the Tokarev ammo is 20% hotter than the .30 Mauser and the CZ ammo the Czechs used was 20% hotter still.
If their military was using that ammo, the guns obviously withstood it.
I know that. Sorry for my ignorance, my comment was to acknowledge that I didn't readily recognize them as drill bits, regardless of their types despite the fact I have many for my cordless drills.
It's refreshing to know that there are experts on this forum who are willing jump in and make the necessary correction......
It’s hard to have a boating accident in the middle of the desert but I managed nonetheless.
Sorta like a Hallmonitor
That pops out a nowhere.
Yep.......LOL!
I’m in this AR-9 video.
