Such full-sized guns made in the past 20 years will typically have an accessory rail on the frame to accommodate a pistol light and/or lasers, while guns made in the last few years in this size envelope will often have the provision to mount optics such as micro red dot sights. Inside the caliber, there are duty/home defense guns, which are generally full-sized with a barrel length of 4-inches or longer - often with a double-stack magazine offering a capacity of 13 rounds or more. Mature designįoremost in the mind of handgun shoppers looking into 9mm pistols is to evaluate the intended use of the firearm. Sure, the price difference between, say a Glock and a “Fly by Night 9” may be just $150 or $200, and they may look and feel mostly the same, but when it counts, is your life worth that extra cash? 2. There’s a reason why Glock Fanboys and HK Diehards exist - those brands have created some of the best firearms in the history of mankind. With so many horses in the race, it is always a better idea to bet on an experienced thoroughbred who knows the course instead of an untried newcomer or unsteady nag.ĭropping the horse metaphor for plain talk, the odds you will get a quality pistol from a company like Glock, Ruger, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, or FN– who have made thousands of them over the course of decades to near-universal acclaim– are much better than grabbing some oddball from who knows where. In 2018 alone, some 2 million 9mm pistols were made in the U.S., more than any other caliber– a figure that doesn’t include pallets of guns coming from overseas. While the caliber started slow, typically just seen in German-made Lugers and Mauser C96 pistols across the first 30 years of the cartridge’s career, the 9mm today is the most popular chambering for modern semi-automatic handguns.
