Looking for a gun

[johnnybusiness]

My friend is interested in purchasing a handgun soon, but he is absolutely in love with bersa 380/ppk/cz83 style guns, but he wants a 9mm.....anyone have any suggestions? I can't think of any in that style that are 9mm.

Im not very familiar about the guns you mentioned but i recently picked up a sig sauer 2022 for $360 with a laser for the rail. It shoots like a dream.

Those guns you speak of only come in .380, .32 ACP, and .22 LR. I cannot think of one gun that looks like the one's you talk about. If Bersa made a Thunder 9 mm that looked exactly like the Thunder .380, it is all I would own. It is a super cool gun to look at and it is a good quality gun, as well. The Sig P232 is in that "looks" range, as well, but is a .380, too.

The SIG P239 might be worth a look. Not much bigger than those other guns. It's a single stack 9mm. Real nice, but a lot more expensive than those others.

As 300WM said, they don't come in 9mm, at least I don't remember one. The Walther and Bersa are nice little guns, the CZ is a little bigger, but still nice.
Have him look at the little Ruger in 9MM. It's slimer than most and a better gun than others.
Some of the other compacts are just smaller versions of the full size ones. The Glock 17 and 19 and EAA standard and Compact come to mind. Neither is bad and carry nice, just not a lot slimer.

P938 is 9mm

CZ 82 is 9x18.
CZ 83 is 9x17.

They are both 9mm just not 9x19.

I'd get a CZ 82. $200ish.

The 83 is discontinued for 2013.
I'd get one in satin nickel while you can.

Thanx guys for the feedback, it was all stuff i was thinking, but as i dont have as a vast knowledge as some of the users i was wondering if maybe i missed one out there. Ill relay the suggestions on to him and see what he thinks. Thanks guys, God Bless, and keep your ammo dry

Wow, no one yet to mention that what he wants is available,.......... but surely not for the price he wants to pay. Try googleing the Walther P5..... good luck$$$$$$$$$$

Is the 9mm Makarov the same as 9x17, 9x18 and all the same as 380? I have a bunch of 380 ammo in search of a gun. They are all good enough for me.
