Best metal frame 9mm

[alexs2006]

I've got the itch for a metal framed full sized 9mm. I don't want a 1911/2011 style. I would like to be able to get a threaded barrel to shoot suppressed. Good aftermarket support is a must! I like to tinker with things. Use will be a range toy.

Sometimes I regret selling that $250 CZ 75B I once had....

If you had a budget of $1200 what would you buy and why?

Beretta 92/M9 or any variant you want.

A not 250 dollar CZ75. I carried a Rami for years, but replaced it recently because it’s value went up too high for me to be comfortable handing it over to a cop…a full size base CZ should run you 5 to 600 dollars now with the SP01s running a little more.

Or an M9 if you're like the "guy" above.......

My mind screams Hi-Power but your variables say CZ75 variant.

An old-school Hi Power *with* a threaded barrel will cost some serious coin, assuming you can even find one. Same goes for the new High Power. Same goes for the variants.

A CZ 75 variant makes a lot of sense. Some models of the P-01 used to come with threaded barrels as standard (as recently as late last year), but it looks like none of the current range does, but there might be some NOS out there. While the P-01 is technically a compact, you're losing just 2 rounds in the mag and a tad over 1/2" in barrel length, IIRC.

Beretta has been mentioned; a solid pick. And the Sig P226/P229 models are still an option.

You probably need to figure out if you want DA/SA or SA, because nowadays, that decision will also restrict your choices.

weird suggestion.... sig 365. Go with a legion if you want metal from the factory, or add an icarus grip. TONS of aftermarket options and the more I build them the more I like them. I have a small dot pistol for carry and the Flux PDW version in process as well.

I’m in the same predicament. Idk if I’m getting that new M&P or 2 Beretta’s? I really like the poly M&P 2.0 that I only bought because it used the same mags as the FPC but ended up being a shooter. On the other hand , I know how good the Beretta 92 shoots. There’s a gun for everyone.

ten round mags lol. I meant to take a pick of the 17rd that uses the 23rd mags same as FPC as well.
