Gun Tests shooters have tested dozens of 9mm handguns over the last few years, most often the compact, micro-compact, or pocket pistols because most shooters are interested in the slightly downsized models. But we’ve also tested a lot of full-size guns suitable for carry, competition, and home defense.
Herewith, I’ve compiled the magazine’s Top 10 Full-Size 9mm Handguns in the listicle below, with the primary dimensions being barrels longer than 4.5 inches, overall lengths longer than 7.5 inches, and overall heights taller than 5.5 inches. Those are just general guidelines, however, because there’s not an industry-accepted definition of “full size.” But to paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s most famous saying, you’ll know a gun is full size when you see it.
We haven’t tested every 9mm Luger-chambered pistol or revolver on the market, of course, so let us know which one is your favorite bigger 9mm. — Todd Woodard

SMITH & WESSON PERFORMANCE CENTER MODEL 986 10227 9MM LUGER, $1129 (March 2021)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
Though the full-size-handgun category is usually thought of only for pistols, the 986 wheelgun is an all-business, made-to-perform revolver that offered excellent accuracy with Hornady Critical Duty ammo. Its overall length of 7.5 inches and overall height of 5.9 inches certainly qualify it as a full-size gun. This highly modified L-frame had a smooth DA trigger due to the titanium cylinder. The SA trigger was crisp. We liked the large bold sights and full-size grip, which offered good recoil management. The 986 takes effort to conceal and carry.

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY SA-35 9MM LUGER, $699 (May 2022)

GLOCK MODEL 47 PA475S204MOS 9MM LUGER, $630 (June 2024)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
While not earth shattering, the incremental improvements designed into the Glock 47 make an already very good platform even better. If you like your Glock 17 (or your 19 or 45 for that matter), do yourself a favor and take a good look at the Model 47.

COLT MFG. CO. GOLD CUP TROPHY O5072XE 9MM LUGER, $1581 (November 2020)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A-
The Gold Cup Trophy is equipped with a nice, wide trigger with an equally nice pull weight. The fiber-optic front sight was good for fast shooting. We liked the magwell and thought the magazine was okay. We would have liked three magazines for the cost.

BERETTA/WILSON COMBAT 92G CENTURION 9MM LUGER, $1250 (August 2021)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
Technically not a full size by barrel length, this pistol is long at 8.1 inches. When comparing the pistols one to the other, the Wilson Combat gun is a top choice for tactical and service use. This is a first-class combat pistol.

GUN TESTS GRADE: A [BEST BUY]
The Smith & Wesson offers a lot of value with grip inserts, a knife, and four magazines in a large lockable case. You may even remove the compensator if you desire. This is a great-shooting pistol, simply an ace overall for personal and home defense.

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY ECHELON EC9459B-U 9MM LUGER, $650 (June 2024)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
Rob Leatham, longtime pro shooter for Springfield Armory, said that he would take the blame for the Echelon if things were wrong. We think we need to give him and their engineers credit instead. We found their new pistol to be loaded with good features and a couple of great surprises.

SIG SAUER P320 AXG PRO 320AXGF-9-BXR3-PRO-R2 9MM LUGER, $1200 (March 2022)

The pairing of the X-Series flat trigger with the all-metal AGX grip module makes this variant of the P320 an easy-to-shoot pistol. Recoil was smooth and manageable.

GUNCRAFTER INDUSTRIES EXECUTIVE CZ 75B 9MM LUGER, $1875 (August 2021)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
The Guncrafter Executive is among the most eye-catching, attractive, and well-finished pistols we have tested. Moreover, the piece is smooth in operation. The Guncrafter eliminates the drawbacks of a double-action trigger, we feel. The package is available on compact pistols and rail guns as well.

SMITH & WESSON SPEC SERIES V M&P 9 METAL HD 14284 9MM LUGER, $1700 (April-May 2026)

The Series V is more than a steel-frame Spec Series. The trigger is one of the best striker-fired types we have tested. There’s nothing to criticize when the pistol’s target role is considered.

The TTI Combat is a very capable and competent handgun. However, it stuttered with what we thought were break-in malfunctions, but which lingered after the test. We liked the easily removable and functional compensator.

HECKLER & KOCH VP9 MATCH OR 81000553 9MM LUGER, $1030 (December 2025-January 2026)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A- (OUR PICK)
The VP9 Match has a good trigger with a short reset, and it cycles smoothly. Accuracy was excellent. The grips are too slick for competition work, but that’s easily resolved.

This was just a long-slide Glock with no real enhancements to make it a target pistol,
other than the longer barrel. The G17L MOS Gen5 did not run on light target loads.

CZ-USA SHADOW 2 91257 9MM LUGER, $1114 (June-July 2025)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
Designed for the Production Division of a sport that requires dependability, controllability, accuracy, and speed, we think CZ did a wonderful job with the Shadow 2 as a competition pistol or a great full-size pistol for home defense.

The Rock Series M1911 A1 FS Tact II was smooth cycling, had a decent trigger, and offered a comfortable grip. Accuracy was very good. The magazine was its Achilles’ heel.

TAURUS 1911 1-191101-9MM 9MM LUGER, $521 (September 2024)

The most expensive of this trio, its accuracy was fairly good, even with the heavy trigger pull. Cycling
was smooth. The single magazine was not acceptable, but it wouldn’t be a big loss to discard.

The least expensive pistol, but its fit and finish were good. The trigger was too heavy for precise work, so
accuracy was just okay. Cycling was fairly smooth. The magazine was not its strong suit.

GLOCK 49 MOS PA495S203MOS 9MM LUGER, $620 (August 2024)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A-
The Glock 49 is a good shooter and is reliable. In combat fire and recoil comfort, the Glock more than
held its own. It will be a good addition to the Glock line and will be the best choice for many shooters.

SIG SAUER P320F-9-B-RXP 9MM LUGER, $880 (June 2024)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A (OUR PICK)
The SIG P320 RXP won both our accuracy tests and the speed drills — barely. We liked the Romeo 1 Pro that comes mounted on the pistol and the way the OEM dot-sight interface allows both Leupold Delta
Point Pro and Trijicon RMR units.

GLOCK G47 MOS 9MM LUGER, $680 (August 2023)
GUN TESTS GRADE: A-
The Gen5 trigger on the G47 MOS is perhaps the best trigger Glock has designed. Accuracy was good, and the G47 ran without any mishaps. Because this a lightweight pistol, we did notice more muzzle snap, depending on the ammo being used.

The STR-9 Combat had all the qualities we’d want in a Roland Special build, but it did not perform well,
with numerous FTE jams. When we did get it to run, we liked the heft and balance of the pistol.

BROWNING P35 HI-POWER 9MM LUGER, ~$1000 (May 2022)
GUN TESTS GRADE: B+
We own samples of both pistols, so we would be comfortable using either one for home or self defense.
Of course, if you want a great historical firearm to collect and shoot, then the Hi-Power is your only choice. Also, we wouldn’t mind upgrading a Hi-Power from its base condition to something more useful, but that would be much easier to do with an SA-35.

GUN TESTS GRADE: A- (BEST BUY)
The grip angle on the RIA is similar to a 1911’s, so it feels comfortable in hand. But the rear and front grip
straps were slippery. Accuracy and trigger were very good. It uses Glock Gen3 magazines, a plus.

BROWNING HI-POWER 9MM LUGER, $1860 (August 2021)
GUN TESTS GRADE: B
The Hi-Power is a classic 9mm and one that still offers good performance. Overall, however, we are hesitant to recommend a pistol no longer in production. Compared to the more modern pistols, the Hi-Power simply isn’t practical.

GUN TESTS GRADE: B
The CZ 75B Omega has good features, not the least of which is reliability and good accuracy. The pistol features an ambidextrous safety, an 18-round magazine, good sights, and is suppressor ready. The pistol’s price is attractive. The drawback that rated the pistol down was a heavy double-action trigger not found on the others.

Though we would prefer a good-quality 1911 for most uses, the Hi-Power is a viable defensive firearm. We really like this Tisas rendition. Downside: The cocking effort is severe, which may disqualify it for some shooters.

GUN TESTS GRADE: A
We liked the grip, which made the LWD feel more like a thick 1911. The trigger offered better
consistency and break than the Glock OEM trigger. Accuracy is excellent. Think of this as a custom
