On Monday, MMA fighter Sean Strickland used two X posts to describe what he wants in a new pistol so fans can help him find a gun that matches the description.
Strickland posted:
An hour later, he followed with a post containing more details:
The CZ P-09 C Nocturne SR pistol is chambered in 9mm, ships with 17-round, flush-fitting magazines (a total of 18 rounds counting the one in the chamber), and it comes from the factory with a threaded barrel for suppressors. Every CZ pistol we have taken to the range has delivered remarkable, repeatable accuracy and reliability.
The Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Metal with threaded barrel ships with flush-fitting 17-round magazines, and that is a total of 18 rounds when you count one in the chamber. The M2.0 Metal sells for less than $1,000 but delivers accuracy on par with guns costing three times as much.
Breitbart News reviewed a Stealth Additive Works SHIV 9mm suppressor, which we put on a Palmetto State Armory full-size Dagger pistol and shot around 400 rounds through it. The Dagger cycled like a champ, and the two-ounce SHIV 9mm suppressor was so light it did not interfere with the pistol’s balance in the slightest. The Dagger ships with flush-fitting 17-round magazines, making a total capacity of 17+1 to reach the 18 rounds Strickland wants.
