Thread: Striker pistols for production

Hi folks just doing some homework on behalf of a mate who isn't a forum member.

So.

He's starting the probationary period shortly ish and with that is the sort of person who likes to have their own gear and he has a few contacts who will do a transfer with a pinky etc.

So with that said he's wanting to know;
For a striker fired 9mm for production class what options for sub 2k would be a good start?

Obviously Glock comes to mind but I was leaning towards pointing him at things like H&K vp9's or Beretta APX's?

Cheers folks

CZ Shadow, or Shadow 2 or Tanfo.

Don't bother with a striker fired gun, especially a less common one, as you'll have trouble finding holsters, mags and spare parts.

Springfield XDM fits your friends criteria for striker sub 2K

yep i started with one ,it came with a holster and mag pouch,3 mags never given me any problems ,even got a quick draw holster to fit as well all under 2k

Smith and weson m&p 9 is another pistol that would fit the bill and is popular enough to get holsters etc, personally out of them I would probably go glock or xdm though.

Cz p-10 is highly reviewed but I have never seen one, bit more pricy to.

P 10F if I was going striker and wanted a light gun but as Ozzy said probably too new yet for parts and stuff.
Cant beat a Cz for value imo. I'm thinking of a production optics toy and will go P10F, Sig but will most likely go an optics ready or standard shadow 2 and get it milled.

Jump on delta mike website and look at the bul armouries AXE, will fit bill and production legal

Look at delta mike,or M&P or XDM

If you are after a plastic pistol popular flavours at the moment are SIG X5 or Walther, although you do feel a bit ripped on the pricing in NZ for these and you have the option of easily dropping an optic on top if you want to from the factory. Have'n t seen any trigger kits turn up in NZ for X5 yet though.
Alternatively Glock with trigger kit upgrade like a Zev, XDM with a Powder River trigger upgrade or the M & P with an Apex trigger upgrade.
Try to follow what the yanks are doing with the production pistols and not such a good idea to stray too far, the main ones will have all the drop in improvements that make them good pistols and stay inside criteria.

Alternatively a CZ or 2nd hand Tangfolio, both nice pistols and what most would use in production ipsc but one thing I didn't like that could pick a hole in the CZ is the slack, take-up on the trigger. You sort of have to prep it a fair bit.

You are probably correct as the magazines are 13 round.
