I would like to hear some opinions on 9mm models that every shooter should own at some point. What has been your favorite model for reason of accuracy, simplicity, really any reason. I'm stuck between so many models for my next 9 that it's hard to just pick one for now. I love my cougar 9mm but I have the itch bad.

never gonna go wrong with a glock such as 17 or 19. very reasonably priced and super reliable, and a ton of aftermarket parts including holsters, mag pouches, sights, trigger stuff, etc.

Blah, blah, blah
Glock 19.
Dependable, simple, light, accurate, almost perfect size (a little wide).
For some reason, I shoot it better than the full sized 17.

I've found the M&P in 9mm to be a good shooter.

Glock 17/19
Sig 226/229
Walther PPQ
One of the many "upgraded" Beretta M9's.
My newest purchase FNS. I like them but they do not have the track history, wow factor, and aftermarket of the pistols above.

fyi, the 2015 uspsa production equipment survey (ie what the competition shooters use) lists cz usa with 40% and glock at 20% and s&w at 12%. didn't list the specific models. I haven't looked at that for a couple of years but pretty sure glock was squarely at the top then.
If you're just talking about shooter for experience sake and to be able to say you shot one, you have to shoot a Beretta M9 and Glock 17/19. Iconic 9mm handguns. After that, they all kind of just blend together.

For duty sized pistols you can't go wrong with a SIG P226, HK Vp9, Walther PPQ, or the SIG P320. For conceal carry the MP Shield, Walther PPS, Ruger LC9 or the Springfield XD-S. Or just get a Glock lol. I think for the price, there are better options.
Try a CZ P01.
You may want to own one.

****Glock 17/19. They are remarkably reliable, and more accurate than the even above average shooter might ever need. Aftermarket parts are cheap and plentiful. Plenty of other options out there but for cost/performance and aftermarket nothing beats a Glock IMO.

Sig P226 and H&K USP are both good shooters for me
Glock 17
Glock 19
M&P 9
Springfield Xd
Sig 226/ 229
Beretta 92
CZ-75
Browning Hi-Power
Walther P-38
If you're new to handguns, you should also try the men's version of 9mm which would require a steel framed revolver and some .357 magnum rounds.

German Luger. It fits really nice in my hand.
