    The pinnacle of 9MM development is the Browning P-35 Hi Power, from the fertile mind of John Moses Browning. A visionary on the same level as Edison and Ford.

    This is my opinion, but shared by two or three others over the last 74 years.

    They based this on a 'one' gun sample so I think I would take it with a grain of salt. But much of what they observed is correct.
    It is VERY subjective at best.

    so many flaws in that list a guy can go on all day about it, besides those mentioned above, no H&K on the list, but hi-point makes it, sig and glock way to far down on the list


    quote:Nothing shoots better than a well used Beretta 92FS. Allow about 300 rounds for break-in. Good long range pistol. I can hit the 50 yard gong over and over again


    sounds like someone is writing reviews based on chat board conversations, not actual experience, above is just an example, again to many flaws to list

    I've always liked and will keep my 60's vintage Browning Hi-power!

    You can argue about this all day, but I do think this guy has hit most of the good 9mm guns in his list, even if I don't necessarily agree with all of his rank order.

    Again, a lot of this subjective. So long as the gun is reliable and functionally accurate, which one is the "best" is highly subjective.

    The "best" gun for me probably won't be the "best" for you, and vice versa.

    I note, interestingly, that the list is populated by CZs and CZ clones, and I have to agree with that. Its just a great platform for the round.

    One of the best, innovative nines mm isn't even on this list.
    He just tested the ones with the most sales.

    You've got that right; can't even buy the 60's Hi-powers for $550!

    John Browning did not design the P35 as we know it. He got a few rough prototypes together before he died, but it was his number 2, Mr. Saive who made it into a workable military gun. The same guy who made the FN49 and FAL, so he was obviously capapble.


    However, I will put the CZ75 at the top of my 9mm list. Col. Jeff Cooper even called it the best combat 9mm made.

    For plastic, I am a Walther P99 man followed by the Steyr M9 series.

    No Star 9mm? They dropped the ball on that one.
