The 5 best 9mm Handguns...

[bcreek]

I to thought the shield was the perfect carry gun until I bought and carry(every day) a Kimber Micro in stainless.

[hog power]

Got the 19X and XDm 9

[Ryan]

Glock 27 with g17 mags.
I've got a few g22 mags but mostly use the 17.
Also have a lone wolf 9mm barrel and 26 and 19 mags for it. These guns are so modular. It may not be the prettiest but it's accurate and with always go bang.

I have carried my 27 everyday for over 20 years.

I like my Springfield xd models. Second choice is the M&p shield because of feel and has a sweet trigger from the factory. Never been a glock fan

[n2ratfishin]

I have the standard M&P they talk about in the article, it's been an excellent weapon.

[okiebass]

i like my Glock 26 and 19 just fine.

Kimber = Krap!

so true! They make some sexy guns, great combo of features but are unreliable crap. Sad because if they made reliable 1911's they would put a lot of folks out of business.

I have an XDm 9MM w/ 3.8" barrell that is an absolute blast to target shoot....SW M &P shield in 9 MM stays concealed on me for everyday carry

[Meadows]

I've got a 9mm M&P shield that I keep in the truck and a .40 M&P full size at home. Great pistols!

Guns Are essentially like a Fitted Suit

A glock is cumbersome?

Plastic mainspring housings come to mind.

I have the SW MP Shield, great little gun that had not let me down yet.

I carry a 45 with a 4' barrel and have shot 1000s of rounds with it. Wife carries the same, never an issue with either of them. If your having problems with them its not the gun, its operator error and failed to read instructions. Kimbers are designed for the heavier grains, and they don't like wad cutters. If I didn't trust this gun I would get a Wilson.

Not sure what model your looking at but Nothing plastic in mine. Love my Kimbers

[Blackwoodz]

I have carried my 27 everyday for over 20 years.

It's more accurate to me than my G19.
To me it's the perfect edc with it modular options .
Like said adding the 9 mm barrel makes it super versitle.
I buy both 40 and 9 mm when on sale

Big difference between a factory line created $1200 Kimber AND a custom hand made $5000 Wilson. I know the Kimber functions fine...they are just lacking in the "quality for the dollar" department. I personally think the Springfield is higher quality. I own both.

[avidbasser]

I have a glock and SW MP shield, both outstanding, glock is more accurate out of the box, but the small frame shield is surprisingly easy to shoot. and very accurate.

Ditto....I love my G19. It's accurate and easy to learn. I've trained a few people that were new to handguns on it. They can't believe how nice it shoots.

[Milehibird]

Beretta 92 too big and clunky for a carry gun

I carry mine just fine. It's probably one of the best 9mm handguns made.
