Does anyone have an idea when I might see a 9mm again? Such as a Glock 19 or a Walther PPS? They seem to be impossible to find right now?
-
Those 2 are very popular. I see a few PPSs on gunbroker. Also contact a LGS as I know a large shipment of PPSs arrived last week and went out to dealers. I might pickup another PPS myself
-
How about S&W Shield 9mm concealed carry.?
-
That would be my third choice but I will probably hold out for a PPS.
-
My wife has one and it is a great shooting and carry firearm. Right now I know a FFL who has some, but they go fast.

Checkout https://www.facebook.com/WaltherArms
They said on the 6th that several boxes of PPS 9mm handguns went out to dealers.
Also http://www.gunbroker.com/Firearms/BI.aspx?Keywords=Walther+PPS
Shows several. Watch for companies shilling their products. Also be aware you'll likely spend more on the auction sites.
I'd personally contact a LGS or local FFL and ask them to get a PPS in for you. Might take some time but you'll likely spend less.

I have a Ruger SR9, as you may guess. It is a 17+1 round centerfire semi-auto. I love it. I tried several pistols including the Glocks. I liked the balance and feel of the SR9. It also comes in a 10+1 round model. Or you can get the 17+1 and buy a couple 10 rounders if law changes. I bought mine in 2008, since they have come out with the SR9C concealed version. It's of cource smaller, and holds less ammo, but from people I know tht have them, they are great. It is made in America in Arizona. I carry mine 24/7 in a IWB holster I got from The Holster Store, made and sold in Florida. I would not trade it for anything. It feels like part of me now. Best thing I can tell you is go to a store with a range and fire one. I got mine at Shooters choice in Dover. If you go there ask for Alex.

Love the Rugers.
How about a CZ999, formerly TZ99, which is a Serbian copy of Sig P226. Gets good reviews, and goes for ~$425.

-
Personally I would look at a Sig P6
-
I just read an article, which said it will be at least 9 months before gun and ammo supplies return to normal.
-
Wow, I wasn't thinking it would take that long.
-
I have a Glock 23 gen 4 .40 which is nice but I carry a Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro gen 3, which fits nice in the small of your back and also if you all are looking for a nice but cheap way to go with a holster check this out, it has worked great.

Hope this helps!!

My wife bought the Ruger SR9C yesterday. I shot and found it to be a pretty nice gun. I just might have to steal it from her. I'm still deciding on my new ccw gun.
-
Hey newlife503,
Watch that "stealing" her SR9C talk. Remember she's carrying now. Ha Ha!

My wife and daughter both have the SR9c and it is great. I liked it so much I went and bought the SR40c.
-
Good going Hawkeye and family. I carry the SR9 big brother as I bought it before the SR9C was out. Main difference is shorter barrel and lower capacity mag. I love mine and hope you guys will too. SR40 is bigger bang for your buck.

I just got a M&P shield and put 100rds through it love it just saying

How accurate was it? I shot a rental to test it out and found it shot really low. I'm not sure if it was because I was shooting a rental that's probably not well maintained or the gun is a dud in general.
-
If I had a pistol that shot low, I wouldn't consider it a dud, especially when consistent. I'd assume I need a shorter front sight post. Most manufacturers sell them for their guns.

I guess I'm just curious if it happens with all of them or just the one I shot.
-
Understood Newlife503. Hopefully some M&P Shield shooters will chime in. Also the M&P would be considered a combat pistol, so it depends where you put the front sight.
"Guns which are sighted in for a combat hold require the shooter to place the front sight where it covers the exact center of the target, while guns sighted in for a target hold achieve greatest accuracy when the front sight is aligned at the center of the bottom of the bullseye."
-
I dont know where you guys shop, but Targetmaster has been flush with stuff for a while. Maybe an ammo limit here and there but plenty of handguns. i'd estimate they had atleast 5 of each display gun in stock..

I bought my M&P Shield 2 weeks ago. Last Thursday I got to put 50 rounds down range. Handles well, shoots well, and with the longer magazine fits my hand just fine.
It will be my CC pistol. I also bought a new holster made for the M&P Shield.

I really like my Walther PPQs in 9mm. It's the most comfortable handgun I've held, it fires true, it fires every time and its has an in incredible trigger and reset. I own a few of them now and is by far my favorite.
Have to say I also love the Ruger SP101 .357 snub nose that's spurless for a snag free action.
