Article: 1:27 Stay away from Smith and Wesson 9mm pistols. Too many moving parts, too many doubts about quality control. The Belgium Browning P-35 is absolutely reliable. It is very sturdy. I have shot loads that would have blown an S&W to bits in it with complete safety. It costs about $400 with fixed sights. The Hungarian JHP is identical and costs $200. The HP has poor standard sights. The magazine safety must be removed, but that can usually be done with a pin punch. The steel used to make the slide is on the soft side, so the finish may scratch easily. Depending on your budget, you might like to look at the HK P7M8 or P7M13, but they are over $500.
