Full size 9mm

[stmoore]

I have a WALTHER P-88 that a tack-driver

Yes, the P88 is great. In that same spirit, I also like the HK P7M13 and Sphinx P2000 but each are cost prohibitive.

For $600 I'd have to look at the FNX in 9mm.

My HK P7M13 just doesn't like me I can't shooting it good, I think it's the squeeze cocker

I do plan on checking them all out. See how they feel in my hand. See how the trigger feels. Don't think I will have a chance to shoot them tho

Try to get to one of the meet and shoots in NWI. Many have these pistols and they are willing to let you shoot them. I KNOW there is someone in NWI that has the M&P 9.

 

[turnandshoot4]

You can also shoot my 9mm sig but it really isn't in the realm of what you are looking for. I'm in NWI.

I am shocked that there are so many different opinions.....

 

[Revelations]

Just get the Glock 17...you already have a 22...they can use the same holster and you already have experience with the Glock platform

 

[mrfjones]

I would look at the fnx 9.

 

[Tommy2Tone]

As others have said, all great options. I love my XD9 Tactical. I compared it to the Glock and TO ME it feels so much better and i feel a lot more confident with it. This leads to me shooting the XD better. But if you like your Glock, why not stick to what works?

 

[Hoosier45]

I own all of those. If I could only have one, it would be the M&P.

Thousands of rounds through my Gen 2 Glock 17 and I have never had a jam or failure of any kind...except when my wife shoots with a weaker grip which sometimes causes a failure to eject.

If you have $600 definitely go with the the G17 early Gen 3 or Gen 2...and you should have plenty of money left to do put night sites on, by a few extra magazines, could put an extended mag release or slide stop.

And I have heard some people upgrading the trigger, which isn't all that costly. You could come away with a lifetime glock for around $600...go for it!!!!

Personally, the G19 is a good mix as it can have extended mags/spacers to make it feel full size but for the days you want to carry, bump it back down to a regular cap magazine which is a little shorter.

Enjoy!

Ruger P95D
Accurate, light, easy to clean, fits well in the hand (especially with a Hogue), good sights, extremely reliable. Has eaten everything without a hiccup. Decock safety, so it's always ready for a DA first shot.

Check out the CZ 75. I love them

Yes those CZ-75 are excellent guns

 

[XtremeVel]

Add a 9mm conversion barrel to your G22 and you would still have enough left to consider many options.

Might look at the FN line. In your price range, larger framed, and very accurate.

If you're not opposed to steel guns, may I suggest, Beretta 92FS, CZ75 and Browning Hi Power. I've had them all and they were flawless, but heavy.

My three favorite handguns! Kudos for your good taste.

Could you post a size comparison picture of the P88 and M13 ? I like the size of the M13, but have not seen a P88 for awhile

OP, of you choices I would go M&P.

WALTHER P-88 is a full size 9MM gun, & it shoots like a target gunBUT it doesn't have a frame mounted thumb safety

I know the P88 is a full size. I just want to see a size comparison picture with the M13, since I have a M13 and am thinking of buying a P88 without seeing it in person first. Since you have both thought you could post a side by side picture of them.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow & email them to you

What is the difference between the M&P and the M&P Pro?

Depending on the model the Pro series in either 4.25" barrel or 5" barrel with have night sites or fiber optic front site; it will also NOT have an internal lock or magazine safety, either. Also it has a performance center trigger and some sweet gold lettering on the slide
