All of those pistol can be found for within about $50 of each other so not sure why you think some are $$$$ ?

Tim, you've received great advice and have a good summary. Bottom line, as you mentioned, is how it fits you. No good way to fix a gun that doesn't naturally point well in your hand. Only other thing I'd add is the long-term picture: reliability, replacement parts, what-it-takes-to-keep-it-running, etc. From my experience, Glock fits the bill nicely, but even with my Glock, I've got some spare parts. I really like my XDm, but I've read too many stories and seen too many 'cheap' parts (like that stupid roll pin at the top of the slide) that cause me to not view that gun as a long-term, reliable firearm. So, I've got a bunch of spare parts for it to keep it running.

Good luck in your quest, half the fun is trying out all the available contenders!!

most of the cost difference is in the mag cost and if you expect to have to change something when you buy it.. edit: also some accessories pricing is shocking

buy a gun thats trigger sucks?? I add in the cost of a trigger upgrade, buy a gun with a fabulious trigger no need to upgrade compare costs..
its TCO applied to firearms, I do it with all my guns..

sometimes its easer to just buy a 1k rifle with everthing you want, rather than a $650 rifle and put $300 in parts into it.. my time is worth $50..
make sense?
its the buy a Honda and upgrade or just buy an Acura?

The VP9 isn't expensive like the other HK pistols. I've seen them new for under $600. Also, the trigger isn't too bad right out of the box. If I pick one up before you make your decision you're welcome to shoot it.

A striker fired CZ-75? Never heard of it. You mean CZ 110?

CZ makes great guns. None with cheap mags, and most aren't striker fired though.

does the g19 g4 come with a metal guide rod?

but that is the list of items I have come up with..
to many forum posts saying yes buy the ghost connector with your gun, put it in, enjoy
new sights Natch..
and if it has a polymer guide rod, its gone.

Any particular reason why only striker fired? Seems like a good, crips trigger with a short reset quite important to you (it is for me) and hammer fired pistols tend to have "better" trigger attributes. Every one of the mentioned pistols have Negatives. What's most important to you? If it's a great trigger-1911 all the way. Reliability, parts availability, decent $$-Glock. The best polymer pistol that I've shot is a CZ P 07. Bought it for $440, (2) 15rd mags with a decent DA/SA hammer fire trigger that's upgradable. I'll throw $$ all day long at a weapon that suits me.
