The P229 looks nice... and from what I've researched, they are the best for accuracy & comfort. It's a bit out of my price range though. My cousin owns some sort of S&W .40 (metal). I've held it, but have not shot it. I'll be attending the next gun & knife show just to see & hold different types of guns. I'll pull the trigger on getting one eventually.

I Perfer Springfield Armory XD...
Ive shot enough Semi Autos and Revolvers.... and i still perfer the XD
I Absolutely love my XD...
SA XD .40 Service model with Heinie Night Sights
ive got about 7000 rounds through it in 6 months or so (I cant Remember when i got it)
Ive shot a few competitions with it and i Conceal Carry it.
I really dont like the M&P trigger... great feeling pistol... just hate the trigger
Walter P99 didnt really feel right... not sure what i didnt like about it.. Maybe it just felt like my lil P22 too much??
Now the CZ is a awesome pistol! Ive seen some guys shoot them in Competitions and they are really good.... never heard of a problem with them either...
But i would suggest lookin at the XD Service model. Thats what i have and i love it...
It shoots very good also... I managed to pull this group of 10 rounds at 12 or 15 yards... i cant remember.. With CCI Blazer Brass
Still waitin on a XD SubCompact.... Thats goin to be my dedicated CCW pistol... If i ever get it...

if you can find a refurb sig in the model and type you want, that would be another option....
i shot my dad's p229 40 cal and it was shweet. it's a tossup between mine and his gun and at the time i can't see paying the difference. besides, you can usually find the xd's fairly cheap, just have to do a lil shoppin...
here's my xd40 v10 ported

If you don't like glock, for the reason of it being all synthetic, then you probably won't like the springfield. They both are nice guns, but I like a metal frame gun. If your looking for a light weight gun then the Springfeild is the way to go. The sig loaded up is pretty heavy. I would stick with a company that makes semi's only, I have heard that the S&W semis are not that great...

Its not that its synthetic at all. I just dont like the way it fits in my hand.
I really like the way the Walther looks. but I havent shot one yet. Where can I find Sig Refurbs?
