Recommendations for combat pistol as well as a carry gun
I have a M&P45 that I love and shoot well but at $20 per box of ammunition it is getting cost prohibitive to continue to use this one as my primary combat pistol as well as carry gun. I like big guns but thinking a 9 mm combat or carry pistol would be better.
My choices are boiling down to the following 9 mm pistols - 92FS M9, Sig P229 or Sig P320 Carry? May consider a Glock 19 but my wife may disown me.
Suggestions? Weight not really an issue - size could be but more interested in guns that have good availability for magazines (without paying out the nose) and 15 or more round capacity.

Yep, G19. I plan to get one shortly.
If that is really out of the question, how about an M&P9 since you already have the 45? The compact line of CZs are really nice too.

If price is flexible, then get a CZ 75 Shadow

I to would suggest a Glock 17/19. But if you already own an M&P 45, why not go with an M&P 9? Your already familiar with it so why not stick with something you know?

Another vote for the M&P.

The best combat handgun is: Glock 19 (at least MARSOC thinks so, I prefer the 17).
The best carry gun is: Glock 19.
So, get you two Glock 19s and you will be all set for both.
