I discovered long-slide pistols<\/a> when I spent two years as a counter monkey at a local gun merchant. The Glock 34 and 17L whetted my appetite, but they didn\u2019t truly light the fire. Sure, they had much better balance, helped to reduce muzzle flip and the longer sight radius helped accuracy. They were cool but not hot, if you know what I mean. The other long-slide pistols on this list, however, did \u2014 starting with the S&W M&P.<\/p>\n

1. Smith and Wesson M&P Pro 9mm<\/h2>\n

I ended up deciding the rounder profile of the Smith and Wesson<\/a> M&P grip fit my hand better and one of the M&P Pro 9mm long slides followed me home. I really like that gun and used it as my carry gun for two years. The ergonomics are awesome on my Gen 1, but it isn\u2019t what you would really call a shooter. It might be that I got a \u201cMonday morning barrel.\u201d You know, the ones where the employees are still a bit asleep from the weekend. I just know that my gun, or more specifically, my gun\u2019s barrel, is the limiting factor in precision shooting. <\/p>\n
