My vote is for the CZ-75.
I've always wondered how good the Brownings are. Do they shoot hollowpoints okay? My dad had one, but I never shot it. It's got the black case made by Browning, has a round hammer, wood grips and was made in Belgium. It's a beautiful gun. Feels great in the hand, but I don't know whether to keep it or sell it. I like it much better than any 1911 I've ever held. Given my choice, I don't know which I'd take: the High Power or a Colt Gold Cup. Any thoughts?
At the time, alas, the Model 39 and 59 were considered disasters. The first reviews were kind at best, but in shooting circles it was far less so. It was the first time I'd ever heard the term “jamomatic" applied to any particular gun. Not only was the malfunction rate high, the gun had a reputation for discharging if dropped on the hammer....the first meaningful Wondernine was the S&W M59.
Can't speak for the Hi Power, never shot one.
My favorite "9" by far is my 659. It's gorgeous and it works!
I've got a third generation, a 5904. Great gun.
Never understood why S&W dropped that series completely.
Plastic is cheaper I guess.

Another 5906 fan. Aside from the heft there really isn't anything not to like. Extremely accurate, no recoil and just beautiful. Oh, and you can crack someone over the head with it and it won't fall apart.
You can also :
- look like Don Johnson in 'Miami Vice'
- breach a door with it and not leave scratches in the finish
- end up with unevenly worn out shoes
