Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

In my opinion? Two come to mind, both I've used, one I own.

Taurus PT911 - I did some target shooting with this one at the Rod and
Gun club a couple of months back. I like it - has a really nice feel
to it and seems to be a good general purpose weapon.

FN Herstal FNP-9: This one I own and I like it a lot. Has a very
nice feel to it and because I have large hands, the ability to swap
out the back stop was handy. When I sold my two Glocks, the local
gunsmith recommended this one. It's a good choice for carry purposes
as it fits really nicely into my tuck holster.

Speaking of 9mm pistols, who makes the best commercial hot dog?


Gun Tests sez:

Taurus Millennium PT111, $367, and PT911, $508. Don’t Buy.

FNP-9 Gun Tests gave it a C- for its ammo handling problems and lousy
trigger.

Apparently Tom prefers the eTec model pistols.

There are a number of very good 9mm pistols out there. Taurus never
comes to mind and FN's are second to third rate, and overpriced, too.


Glock makes a selection of 9 mm, and if you don't want a thumb safety,
they're pretty damned good. Springfield's XD's are very good, as are
SIGs, and CZ's.
