What is the best "line" of pistols?

[NHT3]

Most know I'm a fan of Glocks but I can also highly recommend the M&P line (for what my recommendation is worth). They have their pluses such as the interchangeable backstrap and some prefer the flatter hinged trigger to the Glock trigger. I costs about twice as much to do a trigger on an M&P but all things considered they are a great pistol and from what I've seen lately ( if you are shopping for a used one) possibly you can get one a little cheaper than a similar Glock.

CZ P09 Full size and P07 Compact (current non-duty labeled model). Awesome Omega trigger system, best ergonomics of any pistol period, and unquestionable reliability and unparalleled accuracy.

All other guns mentioned are American infatuations geared towards American shooters. The CZ75 is the pistol the rest of the world uses while they laugh at us for being so indecisive.

I've zeroed in on two particular manufacturers, being the Springfield XDm series, and CZ's P-07 models. Both of these feel great in my hands, point naturally for me, and I've been very pleased with the fit & finish in both. I've tried many others... Glock, Sig, S&W M&P, Kahr, Walther, and Ruger (I would place Ruger a high 3rd on my list, I've had outstanding luck and fun with both the SR9C and the SR22). FNH is on my list of pistols to try... I've held several, but haven't shot one yet.

It's been said before, and I believe it's true, we're sort of in a "Golden Age" when it comes to firearms in general, and pistols in particular. There are sooo many really good choices. I'm still fairly new to ownership, I got my first pistol coming up on 4 years ago, and for me, it's all part of the fun.

Springfield Armory XD line.

How about the Sig P320? One gun, plus other kits - as the FCG can be moved from gun to gun. I'm not speaking from any experience, as I'm a fan of classic Sig pistols. But this seems interesting to me.

I own a P320 full size and it has been flawless for 768 rounds. Stupid-easy to clean too, just pop the guts out and go at it. If you're considering the P320 line, this video is a half-hour well spent:

I did a little write-up, too:

I would suggest you give a serious look at the Springfeld Armory XD series of handguns. I own a 5.25 that I use for IDPA and USPSA shooting. I had a XDs that you have been a good carry gun - but I already had a Glock 26 and a Colt Defender for the same purpose. I find the SA handguns reliable, accurate, competitively priced, and have good resell value.

Love the Springfield line up.

I love my Springfields. I would definitely recommend them.

I've got an assortment that includes Glock, Taurus, Sig, Smith & Wesson, but I have one line that I favor. I've bought most of the SR series of Ruger in stainless. I like the looks, the feel, and trigger pull of these.

Bought an SR series Commander frame this week. I never "Like" the triggers so it will be on the bench tomorrow. Plan to run it on Sunday and see what they are about. It is the only "None" Springer 1911 I own at this time.

OP doesn't like Glock? Poppycock.

 

[throttletony]

as others have mentioned (if you don't like glock), the m&p line or Ruger lines are good.
I'd also add: same sized revolvers -- like a s&w 686 with different barrel lengths, or a ruger gp100 w/ different lengths/features
For example: a 3", 4", or 6" GP100, as well as the GP100 match champion all take same holsters and speedloaders

nor I am whatever the linked article says the grip angle is too squared off for my liking.

You want a "line" of high quality handguns? I own nine CZs and still have a few to buy.

I was patiently waiting for this post.

I'm heavily invested in the Glock line for 20+ years, with four pistols and a carbine. But IF I had to start over today it would be with Springfields.

I am required by law. I can't help it.

If Glocks aren't your thing, check out the Ruger SR series or, as others have suggested, the M&P line.
