SOOOOOO.
I went, I looked, I touched, I handled.
It's between 2. XD-40 and Sig SP2022 PRO.
Glock 23 is out. I loved the sights, simplicity, and look, but didn't feel good in my hand, in fact, felt horrible. I'd have to use a grip extension on it before i'd even consider looking at it again, but still didn't feel good with my hand wrapping around it. I was really disappointed as that was one my 2 big choices to look at.
The XD-40 felt great, guy took the trigger lock off so I could feel the the trigger safety. Didn't dry fire but really liked how it sat in my hand, felt good. Only grip was the grip was just a *hair* narrow for my liking, but i'm sure that's very easily fixable and definately not something I couldn't live with. It just felt good.
Sig Sauer P226 and P229 i'm counting as one gun, even though the 226 is larger, they both felt the same. They felt great actually but the price for my first gun is a huge turnoff, so we'll save one of those for maybe down the line. Great feel though on both of them.
Sig Sauer SP2022 PRO felt great, is about the same price as the XD, and just fit my hand great as well. I need to do more research on this piece as I don't know much about. I've focused most of my research on the other guns so want to read up on this one.
Beretta PX4 Storm. Didn't hold it, didn't really look at it. So far I've only heard "I like it" or "I hate it" and none of the "I like it"'s ever gave reasons why. Only the dislikers, so, no go for me. Killer looks though!
So, XD-40 or SP2022 PRO right now, and I'm still on the XD side of the teeter totter.
