it has been a long time since i have had a 9mm. i do not like striker fired guns. i perfer hammer guns. the last time i had a 9mm it was a 59 s & w. i have been used to decent accuracy though and would not be interested in any thing that doesnt shoot less than two inch groups at 15yards. thanks for any and all opinions! bobn

High Power if you're budget is over $600. CZ-75 (or one of the more modern up-dates like the P-01 or SP-01) if under $600. At least that is probably how I'd go.

The CZ-75 is an easy gun to shoot accurately. Seems to fit the bill.

Plastic or Steel .... that will be one of the main determiner's.
Steel ... Sig 229 double stack or Sig 239 single stack.
Plastic ...HK 2000 in one of various configurations.
Either way you can't go wrong. Personally, after owning a few plastics I prefer all steel. The Sig triggers are tops out of the box and the HK leave a little to be desired when it comes to the trigger. Both more accurate than 99% of the shooters can actually shoot and they have above average service departments.
Good luck and good shooting.

CZ 75B if it fits your hand.

I'd like to jump on the CZ bandwagon too, but really it boils down to whatever fits your hand, and whether you like sa/da or sa. Or da for that matter.
I have large-ish hands and the CZ fits like it was molded. CZ also makes smaller pistols such as the P01/PCR.
Only thing about CZ, their triggers aren't the best in SA. Mine has a LOT of creep and camming. Some day I would love to get that smithed out, but it'll do for now.

If you prefer single-action, then go with the HP (by Browning, FN, FM, FEG, Arcus or even a Kareen if so inclined, they all share the same design).
If you prefer traditional DA/SA, then the CZ(TZ or Witness also good), SIG, S&W, or HK may fill your needs. All depends on the feel in your hand.
Like my grandfather used to say, "Life is tradeoffs".
