Thread: First 9mm

It looks like I'm finally going to receive my B endorsement, my first purchase (if we don't count the Webley mk6 the club armourer is sitting on for me) will likely be a second hand 9mm. I'm looking for recommendations and musings. I will be looking at stock standard to begin with, and if I compete it won't be in open class, at least not to start with. I've shot a CZ SP01 Shadow quite a bit, and I shoot demonstrably better with it than a Glock, however I like the ergonomics of the Glock and the larger slide suits my big mitts. I figure I shoot better with the CZ because of less recoil due to higher mass, and a lighter trigger, and with more practice I'll overcome my crappy recoil handling and trigger discipline anyway. I've liked the 1911/2011 platform pistols I've used, and I suppose the other contender if we are looking at common(read; easy to get parts for and customise), inexpensive and reliable are the offerings from Sig. I've been spoiled by rifles with nice light triggers for years before getting into pistol shooting so I find the single action trigger pull on hammer fired guns much nicer than the striker fired ones I've handled, and being a poor millennial I will likely be putting several thousand rounds and a couple years use out of whatever whatever I end up with before even considering spending money modifying it. Should I try to get hands on with a Sig or something else to see how I like it, or am I best sticking with a Glock or CZ as these seem to be the favourites these days?

Those Hudson H9 look pretty neat though huh?
