Sweetest shooting 9mm?

[Aud_VDW]

I thought I would pick ya'll brains and ask in terms of muzzle flip, which one of these do you feel is the sweetest shooting 9mm?

-Sig 226

-CZ-75

-FN Hi-Power

-Glock 19

-HK USP 9

-S&W M&P 9

I own a P226 and G19 and have some experience with most of what is on your list.

I would have to say the P226 is still the finest (smoothest) double action service 9mm.

The G17/G19 would be a close (in the smoothest shooting category) second IMHO.

I would not consider any other 9mm for a service gun.

I have never shot a SIG P210 but the way folks talk about it makes me want too.

The H&K P7 series of 9mm are also some really sweet shooters. If they did not BBQ the shooters hand with extended use, I would say they made a great service pistol as well. As a carry piece they are a hit IMO, they are easy to carry concealed and easy to shoot quick & accurate. Price and parts availability also make it a no go as a service style pistol.

I haven't used a M&P but it seems to have a strong following for an upstart design.

When all is said and done I would probably never give up my 1911(s) or my G19. Though the G19 isn't as smooth shooting as the SIG P226, it (the G19) is a great all around working mans pistol.

In terms of muzzle flip, you left the winner off of your list: a 1911 in 9mm.

It's like shooting a .22LR.

The downside is getting one to run properly, but once you do, it's the sweetest shooter you could imagine.

For least recoil and muzzle flip the CZ75 and the M&P9 are going the feel the best.







I do agree with Rhino that a 1911 in 9mm is like shooting a Ruger MkII .22lr.

M&P 9 all day long. The M&P line is one of the softest shooting guns made. Its butter.

My custom Beretta 92FS (customized by Ernie Langdon and AP&W) is still the most pleasant 9mm I own. It's got a great trigger and the action is smooth as glass.

My M&P 9mm is a great gun, but I need more trigger time on it to evaluate it against my Beretta 92.

Guys who proclaim that they hate Berettas usually like my 92....it's a sweet pistol.

gotm4,

Do you think the added thumb saftey (supposdly coming by the end of the year), and riding the saftey a la 1911, will aid even more in reducing muzzle flip?

M&P9 is a dream to shoot. I'm also testing a M&P45 and once you get past the horrendous trigger, the recoil is so mild it's surprising.
