2nd time: Favorite 9 mm?

Congratulations! That's a beautiful weapon that will give you a lifetime of protection and enjoyment.

I voted for the SIG P239. Of those listed, it's the best combination of concealability and bank-vault solidity. But I think most of the firearms on your list are basically too big for concealed carry, at least here in Arizona where you live in shorts and a T-shirt for at least half the year.

I love my SIGs (six of 'em), and my Glocks (five), and my full-size Kimber 1911. But my favorite CONCEALED weapon is a Kahr PM9 that's been worked over by Cylinder & Slide gunsmiths. A bit smaller than a PPK, it weighs just 16 ounces and shoots 6 + 1 +P 9mms with total reliability, speed and safety.

sig 239 9mm is my carry gun,super reliable and scary accurate. 2nd choice would be Walther p99

I prefer the P2000 in 9mm, but USPc was the choice and I have to go with H&K....

G26 or the new HK P30.

If I have my pick, Browning Hi Power.

Since this thread is about choosing from the list, my picks are:
1) P99C
2) G26
3) P239

not just the glock 26, whick is best but how about the g 27 in .40 or the
g39 in 45
same size frame!!

The thread is over a year old now. Interesting to see that Glock is now in the lead, with the P99 in third place.

I've ended up with None Of The Above, but my son now has an XD-9, and my wife now owns a Glock 19.

Oh yeah, I've bought two revolvers (S&W Models 17 & 60) and three semi - auto's (Kimber Compact CDP II, Kel Tec P3AT, & Beretta PX4) since posting this.

I've learned not to sweat the choices, there's going to be more than one more gun in your future.

G L O C K !
I carry the G19 (9mm) & I really like this model, not too big & not too small . You can't beat the reliability of glock handguns, very easy to field strip, & very easy to get parts for !

My favorites are the HK P7 and Walther P5c. However, I do not carry either, except on the rare occasion when I want to feel snuggly with my faves, but for only a few hours.

My carry nine is a Glock 26, but that might be because I already had a P99, and there were no 239's to be found at the time I was ready to purchase. Still might buy a 239 anyway, since I'm Sig-less at the moment.

I've also come to like my PM9 quite a bit as well, and find that I'm carrying it much more often than the G26. However, once I'm back in winter clothes, I'll probably go back to the Glock.

Of course I picked the G26 because its the only handgun I own (as of now). But my second choice would be the compact usp.

I'd have to say out of that list the Sig or the HK..Sig being 1st choice

Many are great for concealment and I've already voted. But, I must be reverting back to the old days of revolvers. A few decades ago I carried a S&W snubnose model 36 "chief". I found one at a gunstore and have chosen it as my concealed carry. Fits like a glove in a DeSantis pocket holster.

XD Sub...

XD9SC... my new toy

Have to say the Sig though I've never owned one..Shot one though. Being it acted like every other Sig I've seen That would be a no brainier for me if a small 9mm was what I was looking to carry. I do carry my 226 Sig some more not in a nice Gould holster I found at the last gun show here :mrgreen:

well
since july 2006 there have been a lot of votes and some of those weapons - basically - didn't get votes
also
there have been several CCW pistols that are now on the market that were not in 7/2006
SO
AS A NEW THREAD (3rd time: favorite ccw in 9mm)
if this poll could be redone SPECIFICALLY FOR CCW - I would keep the top 5 vote getters, delete the others and then add - Springfield EMP, Walther PPS, keltec PF9, Kahr PM9.

Springfield XD and Walther P99C are in the lead.

I'll speak up for the Sig 239. I bought mine for CCW 10 years ago. I was down to the Sig or the G26. I just like the Sig better, it's a bit slimmer and it's grip fits better. With 8+1 and 10 round spare mag I don't feel under gunned. My 239 has been 100% reliable, and very accurate.
Downside , Sig mags are expensive.

I voted G-26, but I like the M&P9c, as well.

I got my CZ p-01 to range for the first time today along with a new Springfield EMP. I haven't had enough time with either one of them to recommend them, but they shot and handled well with 200 rounds each of Winchester White ammo. For a conceal and carry my Kahr PM40 is the best I've layed my hands on. The Kahr PM9 is the same in 9mm. Best of luck and enjoy.

Comment about my choice? Well, I don't have a G26, but I have a G27. The Glock sub-compacts are the epitome of the ultimate CCW weapon for me.

i got a smith and Wesson p99c same as the Walther but made by smith. I love it, i have had no troubles with it and have shot a lot of different ammo through it.

How reliable is a gun you need extra parts for? :smt082

just kidding. HK is as reliable as any Glock under normal usage. :smt033

SW M&P9c. I admit I don't carry yet but I think it'll be a good one to wear.

I voted for the Glock 26 - However I now carry a 19 or 23(my favorite)

I've not carried a 9mm pistol for about 25 years. I had a S&W model 39-2 that was a great gun. It was lightweight, comfortable in the hand, accurate, and slim for concealment. Then I started shooting IPSC and changed over to a 1911 because I did not shoot well enough to take the minor caliber penalty. All my practice was with the 1911 design and I was concerned that I'd screw up with the 9mm if the feces hit the ventilator. So I sold the 9mm.

After several years of practicing with, carrying, and shooting the 1911 I see no reason to go back. I now carry a compact aluminum framed 1911 .45ACP and I'm very pleased with it.

IF I wanted a 9mm, I'd probably shop around for another 39 series gun.
