Recommend me a polymer in 9mm

Post by Zappa » 06 Jun 2024, 8:57 pm

While Ive shot a few Glocks I've never really owned.one. so I'd like to add one to my collection shooting 25 service and potentially practical

I like the CZ P1-F but hate the ugly barrel nub. same for the Glock 17.

What other polymer striker fire can we get in Australia under $1500

Someone mentioned the Canik TP9 and Beretta APX

APX is a fine pistol, I preferred it to the Glock and S&W.

I still can't get my head around why anyone would want a striker . :thumbsdown:
But that's just my opinion :thumbsup:

Glock 34, Walther PPQ or Canik. I had a Walther PPQ M2 and sold it for around $1100 with a few mags. I sold it because I found out I don't like striker fired pistols. It's supposedly has the best trigger. I prefer 1911s and revolvers. The Canik is a copy of the Walther

For 9x19mm I like Sig p320 it is a great pistol. Only like 850$ polymer striker fired.

Its the same as the glock 17. Will work with minimal cleaning and fires everything. You can also buy the m17 version that has an external thumb safety if you want that.

Brand new from Cleavers. Granted this was 2 years ago when I bought mine so prices might have gone up by now.

I have a Walther PPQ M1 and it shoots groups tighter than the Glock 17 and has a better trigger.

Walther is phasing those out though in favor of the PDP.

The advantage with Glock is probably the ability to customize it more than other brands.

Rather unexpectedly today I jumped on a deal that once it was gone, it was gonna be gone. Some police surplus H&K P30s from Thurgau Canton, Switzerland came on the market at a reasonable price, complete with Thurgau Kanton markings on them, so I jumped on it. Manufacturers that sell to law enforcement do trade ins and we will get them in bulk here in the USA at the big online vendors. So you never know what will pop up and when it does, you have to grab it as trying to track them down on the secondary market is tough and the price will go up.

So we will see how that shoots and how that works out. I'll do a Youtube video on it.
