Now bear in mind, different manufacturers use different blends of plastics and so they melt, stipple, etc. slightly differently. PMAGs just "felt" different then the Glock polymer under the soldering iron. I used a battery powered one from Radio Shack, was the hottest one they had and only cost $20 or so. I went through like 4 or 5 sets of batteries doing the Glock.
As for ammo, I can't speak to the others but my Gen 4 19 eats everything I throw at it, steel case or otherwise.

I'll throw in my vote for the PPQ. There are aftermarket barrels, sights, and lots of holster options. A number of those also fit the P99. Mags are about $30 and are not difficult to find. There's not much that isn't right on the PPQ right out of the box.

I prefer the Classic/M1, but I understand why you would want an M2. The trigger guard release is familiar to me since I have a couple of SW99s in the safe.

I have used levers from HK's before, I think I need to feel a PPQm1 or M2... see how it feels in my hand..
sounds like all the guns I am looking at can be "shaped" to a point

I don't think you HAVE to buy the $1,400 one. There are a bunch of variations of the CZ-75.

The Sig P320 is getting good reviews.

The PPQs have been very impressive. I prefer the M&Ps over the XDs and Glocks. The new FNS is worthy of a look or two as well.

[mtnrider]

my shoot list:
#1 glock 19
#2 full size M&P
#3 a PPQ if one can be found to rent
#4 a HK ditto not optimistic (have to make some calls)

another question: I have been told that glock will run the cheapest Russian steal case, what about the other three?

I own guns #2, #3, and #4 and have shot cheap Russian steal case through them with no problem. Not a lot of rounds, but a few. I much as I want to like Glocks the truth is they just don't work for me and have sold every one I have purchased. The grip angle is just wrong for me.

Someone else mentioned the FNS (which I also own). Maybe worth a look? Mags may be tougher to source for that one just like the M&P full size but not imposable.

Common misconception. Glocks don't have a funny grip angle, in fact it's actually a very natural-pointing one. The problem is in the palm swell, the lower portion of the backstrap that bulges out ends up forcing the muzzle higher instead of forcing your wrist downward. Prior to modifying mine, the front sight would be almost an inch higher than the rear on a blind draw... afterwards there was an immediate improvement and it is now perfectly level.
