Surprised no M-9. 25+ years military use.
PSA AR-9 "pistol." They are back-ordered for a reason: they are fantastic.
Barrels from 4" on out. Take all standard Glock 9mm mags, including the 33 rounders.
The .380 and 9mm Mak are close enough that it might work but I wouldn’t try it except in an emergency.
The Mak is more powerful, the case a tiny bit longer and the bullet a couple of thousandths larger. Accuracy would normally be a bit worse because of the undersized bullet.
Hey! Anyone who’s ever been unjustifiably SCREWED will quickly see those things as potentially dangerous. (Snicker-snort)!
I'm glad there are other fans here.
I personally prefer the .40 S&W to the 9mm now. Here is a website you might find helpful: https://gundynamics.com/about
I'm glad you clarified that, I was trying to figure out just what the heck those things were.......LOL!
I'm not. It's 'Am Shooting Journal'. It's a bunch of junior high bloggers who have no clue what they're talking about, and have never shot anything more than Airsoft.
In fact, here's exclusive video of 'w1n1' testing the latest technology for his next article.
My first nice pistol was a Browning Hi-Power. I had King’s hardware in DeFuniak Springs order it. Cost $104.50 in 1969.
It had a gorgeous finish, also came with a pistol rug.
Wow!!! Neat little Room Broom... LOVE it..!!
I like those old Hi-Powers too. It’s on my “Will Get” list.
Agree on your Sig assessment.
Carried a P-226 while active, had a chance to buy it for a ridiculously low price when I retired but didn’t (really dumb move).
My daily carry is a 2022 which is pretty much a “poor man’s” 226. Have a 320 Compact and a S&W M&P which spends more time in it’s case than anything. Still waiting to get a P-365 for everyday use.
I have never had a problem with the Sig and it’s my brand of choice.
PSA AR9,,,
I’m going to find one.
Thanks.
I have a small collection of Glocks, consisting of a G26, several G17s and a G34. The one I shoot the most, hands down is my Gen 4 G17.
Last fall I won a Springfield XDm with a 4.5” barrel. This handgun offers a good comparison to a G17. I mention this because the article we are commenting on is positive with respect to the SA.
My personal opinion is, while the grip angle might be more favorable to those who don’t care for Glocks, the stock triggers when fairly compared is terrible on the SA, while for a little bit of time and effort a stock Glock trigger can be vastly improved.
But in the end it is a personal decision as one is not vastly more accurate or easier to handle or clean than the other.
Ditto that. My vintage Baretta 92 was among my favorite tools before the boating accident. Well, along with my Colt 45 ACP and my Ruger Mark I 22. Also lost in the same accident.
CZ 75. Ergonomic, accurate and incredibly reliable. In terms of functionality, Id rate it as the best handgun I own.....and I own a few.

The two rounds are indeed of different dimension, but a .380 (9X17 mm) can be “fired” in a 9mm Mak (9X18mm), but not well. Why do this, because you can order reasonably priced 9X18mm online. Just Google it.
I just inherited one of those.
Beautiful gun
I have the Smith and Wesson mentioned...I like it a lot.
