    I have some cash allocated for it, but can’t decide. I have a Glock 17 and 19, bought and sold a Glock 26, Sig p320, and SW M&P. I’ve fondled a CZ P10c, FN 509, Canik TP9, and don’t really like them. Max budget 750. No interest in revolvers and prefer 9mm.

    Id really love a CZ Scorpion S1, but they are OOS everrrrywhere.

    Any recommendations I haven’t thought of?

    What is the gun for? Concealed carry, range toy, collectors item, etc. You'll get 100 different opinions!

    Here's my P-01 and Rami to give you some ideas. The P-01 is G19 sized while the Rami is 26 sized. More or less.

    Can't beat a CZ, but how about the M&P 9? I love my 9c, well made, priced very well, and reliable as the day is long...JMHO.

    I had an M&P 2.0 as noted in my op. The trigger was awful... leaning towards the PPQ

    PPQ might be the answer for you since you either own or have ruled out most of the pistols that are good for range/carry duty.

    I considered one after I sold my Q5 Match but went with the P10C.

    You have lots of plastic guns. Time for some metal! Beretta INOX perhaps or a Colt competition or Ruger 1911 in 9mm.

    Enough with the plastic guns! Get a 92FS, Sig 226, CZ75B or the like. There is nothing like a steel gun going bang when the other boys at the range are playing with their “plastic” guns. Peace. Out!

    Right! Forgot to mention it. Range/option for carry. I carry my 19 and love it though.

    I would pick the CZ P-01 or PCR, but if you truly love the Glock 19, buy another one. You should always have 2 of your favorite pistol. Even a Glock could break, or heaven forbid, you would have to actually use it....then you would loose it to the police for months.

    1911 in 9mm for the win. They are so much fun to shoot. Recoil is so light, trigger is (or can be) very good. And you can modify it to your hearts extent. You can find a Range Officer for that price. The Ruger is another option.

    Just had another thought. A Rock Island 1911 in .22 TCM with the 9mm barrel. That TCM round is fun.

    3 of my favorite guns. Almost any steel framed can fill this spot. Maybe go with a surplus 75b and get it worked. :faint:

    +1 on the 9 mm 1911.

    Thanks for the suggestion folks! I actually went out and bought the PPQ M2 today. I'm super excited about it!

    I have a PPQ M1 in four-tay. Fantastic gun. Do not attach anything to that very thin front most rail slot. Don't ask how I learned this.

    We were trying to persuade you into buying a metal frame gun but have failed. Next time though. :bat:
