Thanks hodgie, and others........

I will give the CZ 75 a look, but in my case, it would be the CZ 85, which is the ambidextreous version.

Certainly not making a bad choice there. CZ's are amazing. If you want a polymer version there is one with a rail and I believe it is called the phantom. I don't know if it has ambi controls though. I know my SP-01 has an ambi safety and interchangeable mag release, but that is an all steel gun.

Kabloosh,

I am intrigued my by the CZ 75 SP-01 myself, but I am a lefty. Will the SP-01 work fine for a lefty I wonder?

Glocks are good but they've let time pass them by. The VP9 and PPQ are much better.

That is only something time can tell and neither have been around long enough for that.

You could get it to. It's not a carry gun though. It's 3 lbs of pure steel and a DA/SA pistol. That is most certainly a go to war, range fungun, or competition shooter.

It would need its mag release button swapped to the other side but the safety selector switch is ambi. If you like the CZ design and what something more in a carry size and weight check out the CZ-75 P-01, or the IWI Jericho. There is also the baby eagle which is just an rebranded IWI Jericho. Not sure if the Jericho is ambi controls, but it is designed for the Israeli military and they tend to make some very user friendly guns. The Jericho comes in a G19 size with a polymer frame.

For those suggesting a Glock 17 or 34, are you suggesting he use 10-round mags? Or are there 15-round 9mm magazines available for full-size Glocks?

Do they make 15 round mags for the full size glock? If not he should stick to the compact sized guns that hold 15 rounds. That's my favorite size for a handgun anyways.

Right, that's what I'm asking. I'm not familiar with them. I've heard of installing blocks to convert 17-round 9mm Glock mags to 15, but I don't know if that satisfies the letter of NJ's notoriously draconian gun laws.
