striker fired pistols.. best out right now.

Looking for a new "full size" 9mm pistol trying to stay at the 15 round cap for ease of ownership.

I am considering
price
available accessories (custom kydex is not cheap)
upgrade parts (threaded barrel? extended and ported? better trigger?
reliability/name

kind of down to the following guns:
XDm full size (I do like my XDm, but not as much holster support as i would like) mags = $28 (base mag is 19, so issue here)
$620 with three mags that I lose. :-( trijicon HD $165 (have to find 15 round mag's for it)
G19 (lots of glock lovers, but all the ones I fire the trigger feels like crude) mags=$22 can you fix/tweak the trigger?
$550 with 2 mags. +4 mags $90 + trigger $25 +trijicon HD $165 g17 comes with 17 round mags soo blahhh
PPQ m2 (the buzz is loud, for comfort, and trigger) I expect accessories to be nonexistent, mags = $30 held one and it was wow nice in my hand, never fired..
$600 with 2 mags +4 mags $120 trijicon HD $165

HK vp9
$600 with 2 mags +4 mags $200

also thought about these but zero trigger time with them
S&W M&P held one,a nd it felt good
CZ-75/85 never even held one..

I like the XDm's. Find a way to get the high cap mags... there are ways.

Might not meet all of your criteria but I'd probably get an HK VP9.

I went with M&P and haven't regretted it since. Trigger is pretty terrible, but I thought it would be much worse. I put in a full Apex trigger kit and it is easily one of the best triggers, with other platforms in consideration.
Of the three, The glock will have the most of everything, they're the gold standard in polymer strike fired pistols. The price is even more attractive if you're able to utilize blue label (LEO/MIL) pricing.

Right now I'd go with a Glock. I love my m&p but magazines are hard to come by

that is a good one. I almost bought one, the grip is nice!

SIG P320 is a striker. I have the hammer version P250. Glocks are the only striker fired handguns I own.

S&W must have just opened the flood gates on mags. Got some .40 full size and Shield .40 for ~ $25 each. Natchez for mine.

Big fan of the M&P's. As Ray mentioned, next on my list is the VP9. Scared to walk in a gun store that carries them, wallet will be lighter.

Trigger fix on a glock is time / labor for basic clean up. after that it's still cost efficient to upgrade a Glock than any other pistol. I had a M&P did the apex and it was very nice. However as mentioned full spectrum of Glock support for moderately less than anything else.
