I stand by my comment earlier about disliking 9mm but look what I just got lol a star bm 1977 with the slide and frame sword in the diamond insignia still there.
I had a 9mm many years ago. I do not remember the name of the manufacturer, but it was a cheap gun. The slide looked like a casting-- wasn't milled and machined like we see on an M1911. It was definitely a "second-tier" gun; maybe lower than that. I don't remember exactly what I did with it. I'd not be surprised to somehow learn that I destroyed it with a sledge hammer and threw it in a trash can. This would have been in the early 1980s before I went off to school at Virginia Tech in March 1984.
For competition, Sig P320 X5. For general all around range gun, Citadel (RIA) 1911. For defensive training range gun, S&W M&P 2.0 fullsize (5" barrel). For EDC, Sig P365 macro grip with a Shalo Tek 4.1" barrel and slide.
