    Default Pistols with 30rd capacity . . . options?

    For a while now I've been considering investing in a 9mm pistol with 30rd capacity. I've done a little research and come up with the following options:

    Glock 17 w/ Glock 33rd mag (obvious choice here, but I don't like Glocks)

    Sig P226 w/ cheapo 30rd mag (I love Sigs, but the aftermarket 30rd mags have spotty reliability)

    H&K USP w/ H&K 30rd mag (VERY expensive 30rd mags)

    Beretta 92 w/ProMag 30rd mag (30rd 92 ProMags have spotty reliability)

    Masterpiece Arms M-10 clone (inexpensive and solid reliability, but bulky and heavy)

    I would like to avoid 9mm AR style pistols, so are there any other possibilities I'm overlooking???

    Why?

    What role will a pistol with 30 round capacity fill that can't be filled better by another weapon that will be less unwieldy? (especially some "machine" pistols)

    You surely can't be thinking about 30 round pistol mags for concealed carry...(?)

    Kel-Tec is making a 30 round pistol chambered in .22 magnum, check their website. I'll be interested in one myself after the bugs are out.

    My CC is a Sig P239 SAS, so no, this will not be for carry, lol.

    Concealed carry with a couple spare 30rd mags in a backpack or briefcase. Sounds like prudent planning to me.

    Well, I've never been in a gunfight here in the States, but I was in a few firefights back in the day. I don't EVER remember thinking, "Gee, I wish I had less ammo."

    Fn 5.7 standard 20 round mags then just add the factory 10rnd extension! But if it has to be a 9 milli ten go for the proven glock with 33rnd mag!!
