Thoughts on another DA/SA "house" gun

[WT_Foxtrot]

Looking to add to the stable with a dedicated hammer fired DA/SA 9mm double stack for my office and looking at various options. Will just be a home protection/range pistol, so capacity over carry and no worries about concealability, weight, etc. Would consider a minimum of 15-round mag capacity, but prefer 17 and up. Like to stay $600 or less retail (seem to be some good buys on the CZ P-07 and P-09 sub $500 new as examples) but would consider $800+ range for something really special, whether new or secondhand. But it's just going to be used as described, not a competition shooter. Here are the usual brand suspects I've thought about that have DA/SA offerings:

Beretta
CZ
Sig
HK
Springfield

And on the Beretta, even though I'm a huge fan, I do already have two PX4 Storm pistols, the standard compact and the full size in Inox, which is another house gun. I absolutely love them both but would like some variety and don't want to add a third, though would consider something from the renowned Beretta 92/M9 line, which I don't currently own.

Any thoughts on specific pistols recommended or brands I'm overlooking are appreciated!

Beretta is good....Girsan Regard MC is a good M9A1 clone that leaves money for extra ammo.

I'd get the Beretta 92FS

Get another 92. At some point you will realize committing to a platform gains efficiency.
I went with Beretta for full size, compact, and carbine. Redundancy is positively impactful.

My choice, Beretta M9a3, M9a4 or the 92x

Add in an LTT TJIAB and you'll have the nicest DA/SA trigger you'll ever feel

I love my Sig SP-2022. It's got a polymer frame which lowers the cost, but it's been a very accurate, reliable pistol for me. For whatever reason it only has a 15 round capacity, but that's really been my only gripe. You should be able to find one well south of your max price range.

That said, look for deals on Stoeger, made by Beretta, and substantially less expensive.

Stoeger is owned by Beretta, but iirc their guns are Turkish

Yep, nice pistol. I've got the P365 for carry. The SP-2022 reminds me a lot of my PX4 Storm compact in terms of size and capacity.

It's a little chunky, but comfortable. I'd say it's just at the edge of being able to be called "compact".

I totally agree....feel the same with my PX4. Seems weird to me to call most any double stack a compact except for probably the P365 which can hold 12.

I think Sig markets the 2022 as a full size pistol - and its balance is pretty nice.

 

[zackmars]

If you are familiar with the PX4, the only difference you'll notice with the 92 is the different operating system.

Best part of the 92? $20 18 round mec-gar mags

They don't really market it at all, it was a design from old sig and was aimed towards European mil/le.

Well, then I should've said they 'describe' it as full-size. They do appear to still be available...for about $650. A price that helps you afford the $40 mags for it.

Would you mind explaining why the single action is preferable?

Trigger pull, probably. I don't see where he's saying SA is preferable, he's saying he wants a DA/SA - which gives you a stiff trigger pull for the first shot, a light trigger pull for subsequent shots, and often times a decocker rather than a safety to fool with. It's one of the things I really like about my Sig, in fact.

Yeah, that just got me curiosity up. I used to consider my P-07 DA/SA my go to, but after several practice sessions, I decided I was actually more accurate with the Glock 17 even on the first shot.

I'd suggest to the OP that you might really want to find some friends and test for yourself which one you'll be most accurate with - especially on a first shot situation. You may find yourself surprised.

 

[zackmars]

A DA trigger, a nice one, is going to be the single most accurate trigger you'll ever shoot.

You're not going to turn a semi DA/SA into a tuned S&W revolver, but an even slightly tuned Beretta/sig/cz is a very accurate pistol.
