What is the best overall 9mm pistol?

There's no disputing that a blued gun is susceptible to rust.

I'm sending mine out in the next few days to Custom Creationz for a silver ceramic finish and blacked ceramic controls.

Can't wait.

The P7 does get hot, but if you go by the FBI "3 to 5" rule of 3-5 shots at 3-5 yards in 3-5 seconds which describes the overwhelming majority of real world gun fights, the P7 is perfectly suited and tailored to that sort of an encounter.

It is not an uber "zombie slaying" type gun. I have an FN Five SeveN for that. A P7 is however one of the best and most secure CCW guns of all time though, IMO.

A P7 PSP style heel release with a little practice is still a very quick weapon to reload. The M series P7's are lighting fast to reload.
