Full size 9mm

[ZEN]

Please chat with me about your experiences with any pistols that meet my description to follow.  I'm shopping for a pistol with a crisp, consistent SA trigger.  I'm fine with a safety, which is really whatcha get with a good pistol trigger it seems.  My current pistol has a safety and I'm confident with it...just don't like my spungy trigger.  I prefer a capacity around 15 rounds. 

I lean towards CZ with those call-outs.  With less capacity I was looking at the BHP and A 9mm 1911 but I'd like more in MY mag.  I really like the P226 but don;t like the Sig DA.  Also don;t like the 2 pc grips on the Sig SA.

Thnx

A CZ taken to someone who knows how to work on them would be a good choice.  The weight of a CZ is real nice in recoil.  Have you ever shot a Glock 34 with a trigger done by someone who knew what they were doing?  A custom STI 2011 would certainly fit what you are looking for plus you can load long and very, very hot.  You could buy an off-the-shelf- STI in 9mm too but a full-on custom (done right) will run circles around it.

I do not know how it is done, call Champion Arms in Seattle, but I have seen 9 mm 1911 that held lots of rounds.

GLock – 17, 19 or 26 -

A 17 or 17L with a decent trigger is pretty capable. ( I hate Glocks, but carry one BTW)

The CZ is a great value

The STI's are extremely well made and are essentially a custom hi cap 1911. We are an STI dealer and have one in stock.

Take a look at the Smith and Wesson m&p 9mms.

I had one and did not like it so traded it for a sub xd.  but that is just me.  mike w

Even though you said there were things you didn't care for about the Sig 226 but if I was looking for a full size 9, the 226 would be my first choice.  Others are good too but I've never had a Sig I didn't like.

The CZ while it is a DA/SA has a nice trigger on it.  Maybe look at the SP0 and tactical variants...

Thnx fellas.  I used to shoot a glock but it had a factory trigger.  I like the idea of a CZ cocked and locked.  I've researched STI  a bit so I'll look into them more.  FWIW, at that price tag, I might do the P226. 

I'm thinking STI, Para (Black Ops recon?), CZ, or Sig.

Out of those choices an STI with a trigger job from someone who knows what they are doing is going to give you the best trigger, mine is just under 2lbs.  A stock STI trigger isn't great at all unless you are comparing it to a factory plastic gun.  There are quite a few places to send a CZ to people who know what they are doing and they shoot very nice.  Gray's Guns is well known as the Sig master, I haven't shot one enough to form an opinion other then there are better options then Sig's. 

I still think that a Glock with a non-factory trigger will surprise a lot of people.  If you shot a Glock 17/19 or something like that you shot with a terrible trigger.  A Glock 34 has a better trigger but is still bad.  A Glock with a trigger done by someone who knows what they are doing and how to do it is a very capable pistol, all for $400.  In fact it is the pistol that is by far the easiest to get to being acceptable out of the box of all of them.  My G34 has about a 2.5 lb trigger, is plenty accurate, and magazines are 20 bucks.

One more thing, STI's factory magazines are notorious for being horrible.  The mags have seemed to get better recently but I would buy "tuned" mags which will run $130 to $150.

Ill say +1 for the Glock 34. Even the factory 34 trigger is better than the standard Glocks. if you want crisp trigger 1911's are always a good option. if money is no question check out the Sig 226 X-Five. its about $3000 but you get a SA trigger with LOTS of 9mm fun.

I looked into the BHP pretty seriously but it's listed on the website as 10 rd capacity??
