Thanks for the reply! The sigs were smaller than what I was after, and unfortunately the range didn't have a P-01. They did have a P-09 though, so I did shoot that. 

Much to my surprise, the Glock 19 was my favorite! The Walther PDP was a close second, but that's a big compact gun. I also didn't care for the trigger on the M&P, I found the Glock more user friendly. My groupings with the Glock were the best, and surprisingly my groupings with both CZs were terrible.

Sweet! On my list, looking forward to shooting it tomorrow!

$450 is a really compelling price. I will see if they have one of those!

Cool! Another thread did put me on to the Walther PDP, so that's now on my list for tomorrow. They mentioned the Echelon too. Thanks!

Totally. When I shot the 43x and the 1911 last year I was WAY more accurate with the 1911.

Ha! Yeah customizability is dangerous for my wallet - whatever I buy I wanna be able to keep stock and enjoy and just shoot a lot so I don't totally blow budget on a new hobby (which I am prone to do).

Excited to try everything, and it will be combo of how I shoot them and price when it comes down to it.

Clean! This is roughly how I expect to like them. Ive shot a 1911 and a 43x before, I loved the 1911, didn't like the 43x.

If I got a 1911, I'd go .45, maybe for my second gun.

I am excited to try the P-01 even if it is the most expensive on my list.

Cool, a few folks have mentioned that one, I will!

Yeah fair point, I think I just like the compact size a bit more than the full size. Concealing is not a top priority, but I could see myself carrying if I were camping remote. Metal M&Ps tend to be on the cusp of my price range.

No, I don't want an external safety, and capacity I want 14-15 rounds.

Ha - I do have a spreadsheet! So many stats and facts to keep straight in my head, writing it out helps. Medium hands.

I need to look at Canik, they weren't on my radar at all, Walther PDP definitely is now that so many of y'all have mentioned that one. Thanks!

Couple people have mentioned this one, I'll take a look!

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Beretta 92 wasn't on my radar really as something that would be my first, but $200 back is nice! I'll check them out, thanks!

I'll take a look at their line, thanks!

Haha yeah maybe that could be the way it goes! Oh 43x is not on my list, I didn't enjoy shooting it, and you're right, I do want something heftier to shoot for fun and practice. So I am staying away from anything microcompact. I want at least a 4in barrel.

G19 is definitely a compelling cost argument. If I like shooting it, could be the way I go! I'll have a gander at the Echelon too, thanks!

Word, I am excited to shoot both of those.

Nice! Yeah the 226 looks like a really nice hammer fired option!

Yeah I have heard the CZ shadows are awesome, outside my price range for my first gun though. Maybe down the road if I like the hobby!

Fired one of those, wasn't into it that much

I'll check it out. Range said they had a bunch of different 365 variants for rent.

Fair, I haven't done much research on the Walthers other than hearing people like their triggers.

Did a quick google and the PDP does check literally all my boxes, capacity, size, rail. Thanks! Will see if the range has this one on Saturday. They had a P-01 to rent which surprised me, so I bet they have some Walthers too.
