Picture
[edit]The picture of the CZ 75B is not appropriate because it isn't appropriate for this article, because the model chosen is chambered in .40 S&W (which is specifically a 10mm round, not a 9mm round - the namesake of the "wonder nine" expression). The source claims claims that the CZ 75 is an appropriate example because the wiki article literally lists it as a classic example of a Wonder Nine, but that article is specifically referring to the CZ 75 and not the CZ 75 B. The picture should be changed to a Glock 17, a Beretta 92 or a Sig Sauer P220 series, as these are by far the most iconic examples of the Wonder Nines. If the editors of this page insist on using a picture of a CZ 75-series, at least use the picture of the original, and not the 75-B. Samitscherning (talk) 19:43, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Glock 17
[edit]The Glock 17 has been added to and removed from this page several times. I have no strong personal opinion either way, but would like this particular edit to stop getting reverted repeatedly back and forth. My basic understanding of the arguments for and against is as follows:
- For
- Glock 17 is considered by some community members to be a "Wonder Nine" as evidenced by forum posts and magazine blogs.
- Glock Trigger is not single action, and is close enough to double action to count.
- Against
- Glock Trigger is not strictly double action and therefore does not count.
I have decided to write a brief paragraph addressing the Glock 17 specifically, using existing sources from the page. Please stop adding and removing the Glock 17. SlinkyThePerson (talk) 15:10, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
