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 well 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 its 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 its 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.

>>Ill keep my 92FS, thanks. 12 years and never a fail to feed, stovepipe, or fail to eject.<<
Same here. Not my concealed carry, but I love my P92. I can field strip this thing blindfolded...super easy to tear down.
Never one issue with this weapon. Very accurate, high capacity.
You got it, and that’s why I love my Sigs!
People who know shoot HnK.
