    Hi I am bidding on a S&W 9mm pistol. I am looking at the ammo for this gun and it hits me what kind of volosity do these rounds have? All I see is not 230 grain.What kind of knock down power do they have verses the old millitary 45 cal. semi-auto side arm? What is the best kind of ammo for practice and also for shooting in self defense?[?]

    So if you shoot the 9mm would you want something that opened up a bit more to transfer the phyical innersha into the object you shot? I understand a larger cal moves slower with more forse due to weight.I am guessing that a 9mm is not really such a good thing,mabey just a nice target shooting gun?

    I am looking into getting a good 9mm for personal defense and sport shooting. I am looking at the 24/7-9BP-17 by Taurus. Mostly I am looking into getting something that is durable and reliable. I am going to be looking into Glock and Kimbers. I dont have a whole lot to spend on this handgun so please lets keep the price under 500.00 . Thank you in advance!

    Can't go wrong with a Glock 17. If youre not apposed to used guns try to find a police trade in or look into a Taurus pt92. You should be able to find the taurus for around $300 and the Glock for around $350.
    Just another thought. Why not an EAA Witness in 9mm. I've heard great things about them and you be able to get one NIB for around $360.

    S&W Autos are terrible.

    Taurus is an excellent choice for a new gun. I don't like Glocks-overpriced. If you're looking at a Taurus also look at the Millenium Pro - PT111Pro. I bought my 9mm for less than $300 and would buy another, I love it. The warranty is unbeatable.

    As far as used goes, a Sig or CZ is a great choice.

    I seen the EAA Witness around could not get much info on them. And after looking around what is the % people put next to the guns or a % on it some where.

    The % is the rating of the finish, be it blued, nickle, stainless, that is left 98-99% is considered very good to almost like new for a used gun. If the gun has any wood furniture there should be a rating for that as well. Ask if the wear is only holster wear or from something else.

    I think the Beretta 92FS is the best for accuracy, S+W Sigma's can't hit the broadside of a barn. But I do also have a Witness .45 and it is surprisingly a very good pistol for the price.

    My Taurus PT 92 AF has about 8,000 rounds through it. It just keeps on shooting. It shoots dirty or clean; with good jacketed ammo it is remarkably accurate for a 9MM sissy caliber.

    Taurus is a good first weapon.

    Nobody has mentioned Kel-Tec yet. They're good for the money also.
