"9mm pistol manufacturers [] out there"

nobody mentioned Browning

a Browning 9 mm is most like a Porsche 911 b/c both are old designs, done by geniuses - not that John Browning didn't design "other guns" (!) but the 9 mm Browning is like a 911 Prosche precisely b/c it doesn't have the big (slow) rounds (like a big low reving engine in a 'vette); instead they are both like a well made rapier, not a broad sword
