So, I guess that leads us to one of my semi-final personal protection carry solutions – the Beretta M9.
It was hard to discount the CZ 75 in my final selection, and I decided to have a semi-final between the Beretta M9 and the CZ 75BD. The CZ-75 can be carried in ‘Condition 1” and the 16+1 rounds capacity certainly qualifies as a high-capacity firearm. Designed in 1975, the CZ 75 is a well-established firearm, my hand wraps around the grip like a glove and the ergonomics of the pistol is excellent. The CZ-75B, shown above, was a strong contender for top spot, especially in the BD (de-cocker) configuration. Throwing in for high-capacity (a personal preference for the caliber) in the 9mm dims the likelihood of the Armscor 1911-based 9mm pistol being chosen for carry, one of which I have and it is an excellent shooter. Leaders in the industry, like Sig Sauer, CZ-USA, Beretta, EAA, and even Armscor have firearms from expensive to reasonable in cost that will fit the bill for personal protection. In the 9mm caliber, there are plenty to choose from. Handguns by my personal “old school” preferences.Įven with my personal “old school” preferences in place, a lot of desirable hand cannons are left to consider. You can see that I have eliminated a lot of excellent quality Wood stocks but can accept polymer for a brief period while waiting on the wood School” preference is for handguns to be of metal, preferably stainless-steelīut I can also work with carbon steel with protective finishes. Grip safety like the Springfield XD series (except for the XD-E). Safety mechanisms in place other than a trigger ‘flapper’ safety, such as a I can accept a striker-fired pistol if it has appropriate Yes, I am old school, I have a preference, and it is personal, and may differ from yours. I prefer a hammer-fired pistol over a striker-fired pistol. The Glock G45 is a top contender for me and it has one thing going for it and going against it…it is a Glock. My reviews of most of these pistols have been positive and I have even recommended a few (if not all) for carry purposes. Sproingfield (sic) Armory, to Sig Sauer, to Rock Island Armory (Armscor) andĮven Smith & Wesson, Beretta, and CZ-USA. A 9mm pistol was in my future for a while.īecause of my propensity for reviewing firearms, I already haveĪn assortment of 9mm pistols to choose from that range from Ruger, to Glock, to
45 ACP, let alone handle a 10mm Auto pistol.
Not that I am a wimp, mind you, but I knew that the body was going to have to heal a bit more before I returned to my beloved 1911 in. 45 ACP cartridge would also take its toll on the body for a while. While the recoil from the 10mm cartridge is stout, but manageable, I knew that shooting my favorite. The first time shooting this pistol (pre-surgery) I did so without a shooting glove.
I was working with the Kimber Camp Guard 10 again and its many FTF issues. My first day back at the range after major surgery made me realize that I needed to shoot a softer caliber of handgun.
