I currently have an XD-45 very happy with it, and would like to get a 9mm I would like to try a diff. mfg just to have something different. I have looked at Glock, S&W m&p9, Taurus etc. I want a full size 9mm with a large cap. 15+ mag what do you guys shoot in that cal. that really stands out.
Looking for recommendations for a 9mm

CLG,
I have carried a SIG 228 in 9mm and I had no problems with it in over 14 years of continuous carry. I can recommend SIG, H&K, Glock, and Beretta, as I either own them or have used them for a carry piece (SIG and Glock).
It depends on what you want other than a high capacity mag? Double action only? De-cock lever versus Glock "safe action." Are you blessed in being left-handed but want a reversible mag release button (goodbye Glock)?
If you can find a range or a friend that will rent or loan a semi-auto to you to try, I would suggest that route, first.

Still love the old Browning "HiPower" single action auto.

I'm a big fan of CZ's. The P-01, 75b, 75SA, 75 Tactical Sport and SP-01 should definately be on your list of guns to check out.
I carry a Glock 17, but, for fun, CZ's are awesome.

Well I would have to say, Taurus or Beretta...or Para-Ordinace but who wants a 1911 9mm...
Can you provide a little more information as to your requirements? All the choices mentioned here would work for you, but if you have some specific requirements some may be better choices. For example, if you have a large hand and want a big guns, than the Beretta M92 or Taurus 92 would work fine for you. If you like polymer frames/light weight Glock 17 or Glock 19 would be fine choices as would the H&K USP. If you have a smaller hand, the Glocks or a Browning Hi Power would be good choices. If safety is your primary concern, both the Hi Power and Smith&Wesson 3rd generation double action autos have magazine disconnects that disable the gun from firing unless the magazine is inserted. This is in addition to the external manual safety.
I was given a XD compact 9mm I really like it .I can't pry it out of my sons hands though..
My S&W model 639 in stainless w/walnut grips is a work of art. Shoots good but a little too heavy for a CC though.....
That's the only way I would own a 1911.
I've owned and shot in 9mm quite a few brands.
The one I really like is the Ruger P89. Nice size, very accurate and holds 15+ 1 with factory mags and 17 +1 with aftermarket mags that work.
I like the P series so much, I have a P89, P94 and P90 (9mm, .40 and .45acp) and P345. All nice guns and work everytime.
In the 9mm, I've sold S&W, Glock, Taurus and Browning Hi-power.
I do have a 1911 style in 9mm which is a nice gun too.
9mm is a fun round to reload and shoot. (ok, most of the calibers are fun to shoot and reload)
Take care, bill

I shot a 1911 9mm I would say it is not as manley as a 1911 in 45 but I enjoyed it and it was an aluminum framed Colt.
.45ACP is a chunky cartridge. It's fat and short, and a lot of the jams I see with the 1911 (and there are a LOT of them) are from rounds getting stuck on the feedramp. 9mm is a tapered case, and a more pointy bullet so that should alleviate some of those problems by making it easier to feed into the chamber.
I think I will check out either the m&p or I have been hearing alot of good things about the Walther p99. The pistol will be used mostly for target shooting I will prob leave the Home defence stuff to the .45 I have now. I am a little intrigued by the 1911 9mm idea though. I always wondered why the most popular cartridge being fired through the most popular (I think?) pistol gets such a bad rep if its just the size of the round maybe I will give it a try.
With all due respect, the problem must lie with your gun and not the .45 cartridge. I bought my 1911 21 years ago and have NEVER had one jamb (and I shoot it alot). If you have LOTS of jambs, sump'n ain't right.
I have a Colt 1911 in 9mm.
did someone say 9mm 1911
