I went to my LGS today and handled a few .
PPQ 45
G21sf
G21 gen4
M&P 2.0 45
Sig P320 f 45
XD 45 4"
XD 45 MOD.2 45 4"
XDM 4.5" 45
I know I said Springfield was out , but I really liked the XDM 4.5" overall . It would be even better if it had the MOD.2 grip . I liked the sights , the capacity and that I get 6 mags . The trigger was not the lightest , but it didn't have hardly any take-up and I liked that . I had to change my grip some to release the mag . I don't think you would unintentionally drop a mag while firing it .
I also liked the PPQ , it's between those two . I like the fell of the PPQ better , I liked the slide release , it had a lighter trigger , but a lot of take-up before it broke and I liked the real short reset . I didn't like the sights . The mag release was real easy to hit without changing my grip . I am a little concerned that I could hit it under recoil and drop the mag. , because it is so easy to hit .
The Sig had the lightest trigger , but it felt mushy and had a real short pull , too short and light for my liking .
Glock 21SF , didn't like the feel .
M&P 2.0 , didn't like the trigger , it had the most take-up , but it broke light . I didn't like the aggressive grip texture , I know some would love it . You would not have to put any tape on that grip for slipping when your hands are wet . I thought it was the nicest looking pistol of the bunch .
