Any suggestions on who makes a " FULL SIZED METAL " semiauto 9MM. Thanks

CZ-75B, is an excellent choice.

+1 -- I don't know my SIGs all that well, but the 225, 226, 228 and 229 come to mind. CZ-75's also seem to have a cult following.

If you can find good ones:
- S&W 59xx series
- Beretta 92 series

The Beretta/Stoeger Cougar 8000s are also great -- the Berettas are the old/used label; the Stoeger is the new label (made in Turkey on original Beretta machinery) and is a heck of a value from what I've read.

Check out the HK P7 in the variations it comes in. I have one and it is a fantastic pistol that produces match grade accuracy, military reliability and German made toughness.

Ya, that's what I'm talking about. Nice looking handgun. Thanks!

My 1st handgun was a S&W 59. I purchased it in the early 70's brand new, but sold it a few years later. I recently purchased the Stoeger Couger 8000, see my post about it here;

I don't consider the Couger " Full Size" though, that's why I started this thread. Was considering a longer barreled 9MM. The CZ75B looks promising. Thanks

Beautiful Handgun, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it's way out of my price range.

I'll second the CZ-75. Like the some of the more expensive Sig P210, the CZ has internal slide rails. Besides making the slide to frame fit nice and tight... I tend to like the look of the low-profile slide height. I don't care for the DA trigger pull, but most shots are SA anyway. My SA trigger feels quite nice to me, but I have a pre firing pin block model. Not sure how the new ones feel.

If you do go the CZ route, try the factory rubber grips as well. I liked the grip with the factory plastics, but love the grip with the factory rubber. And while the grips are off, maybe swap out the mag break for a flat mag brake so your mags can drop free (a $10 part and a 10 minute job).

Check out CZ Forum for everything CZ.

I also have a late 80's Taurus Pt-99 (a 92 with adjustable rear sights) with a stainless slide and whatever they call the matte silve-rish looking frame (not stainless as the frame is alloy). Made on the old Beretta machinery in Brazil. Also a nice shooter, and good looking too... but I'm still partial to the CZ.
