    Just sold my p09 (my least favorite cz), still have a p07, p10c, 75b, spo1 & p10F
    Currently running a xdm elite osp with a rmr.. Im more into combat/duty type pistols. I'd rather not go back to glock, I miss my 19x/45 but the grips on the cz and springfield are just much better to me.

    I am picking up a LTT beretta in a week or two, but wanting something else to replace the p09.

    Suggestions?
     
    If you wanted to stick with a DA/SA gun you could pick up a HK USP. Very cool, most can be had used at a steal and theyre so beefy they arent likely to get worn out. It wouldnt be my first choice as a modern duty gun but I like mine alot and theyre one of the quintessential modern service handguns. The PDP is great though and they tend to have the best production striker triggers I've pulled.
     
    I have thousands of rounds thru these three brethren; the Walther PPQM2 / HKP30 / VP9 , except for the striker-fired v. hammer on the P30, they are virtual mechanical / ergonomic clones of each other. Might as well buy the least expensive one !

    https://www.laugoarms.com/alien.html if it your money why not really expensive sure not many people have one or could afford one you can do it .
    or maybe one of those cabot's
    https://cabotguns.com/ treat your self to something special like a really fine wine or one of a kind piece of art that you can shoot . sti woulld be special if the others are out of your pocket range maybe a cz race gun not sure if that's your cup of tea either or a nice 45 maybe a 10mm suits you more good luck with what ever you get please post pics as I am sure the feds in here would love to see your new gun when it's all decked out . I know I would lol .
     
    The Walther from the PPQ on is a pretty bad ass gun.

    I have two M&P's, also an FN S9C, that is the carry size version of the FN S9. That little bastard has a lot of mag capacity for a little guy. I mostly carry a Ruger LCR, kind of a soft spot for wheel guns. But............ the M&P is in the truck, along with an AR.

    Much like PRS rifles and optics, this is a good time in history to be in the market!

    Get something in 10mm. Because fuk you, fuk them, fuk your wrist, fuk innocent bystanders, and fuk the 3 people behind the bad dude.

    I've been messing with M&P9 5" currently. We don't have (easy to get) carry in Australia, but I do use it at the range with a holster. I have a vortex venom, and the slides coloured differently. This was a customer's.

    I am really liking my Sig p229 Legion SAO in 9mm, fits like a glove and sexy as all hell.
    my primary weapon has been a p226 for almost 30 years, but i really love my P229.
    utility aside, i think the proportions of the p229 legion with the abbreviated beavertail makes it the best looking handgun.
    /and i don't own one, so it isn't just picking my own shit.
     
    IF you like the Sig P229 you will really like the Sig P229C-SAS (compact, a full size P229 frame with P224 barrel 3.5, SAS=Sig Anti-Snag full melted treatment from their Custom Shop").
    IF you like a 1911 style 9 mm, Wilson Combat Compact Carry feels pretty good too.
