Title: 9mm
Post by: Newlife503 on February 13, 2013, 05:43:17 PM
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.

I just read an article, which said it will be at least 9 months before gun and ammo supplies return to normal.

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.

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.
