Well, I'm in the predicament of wanting another pistol just for the sake of having another. I'm currently shooting an M&P 9 Pro Series. What are some of your recommendations?

I've contemplated the following so far:

-Beretta 92A1
-CZ Shadow
-Glock 17 Gen 4
-Sig 320
-Sig 226

Any recommendations and why would be GREATLY appreciated!!
 
What are your wants? Do you want something similar to the M&P, or different? Glock, SIG P320, PPQ, SFP9, all fall under that striker-fired umbrella.
 
On that list, i'd sub the G17 for the G19 (I prefer Gen3)

The Sig 320 is nice. Feels MUCH different in the hand than the Glock or M&P

Would never say no to a P226 IF it has an SRT installed.

If you know of anyone at the range you shoot that has any of them on your list ask or talk to them about it, probably let you shoot if ask politely. I am usually the first to offer someone a go on one of my firearms if they are polite. Could make the decision much easier before purchasing. They are all excellent firearms, actually own 2 on that list and at least one from each manufacture on that list. Personally cant think you can go wrong with any of them.

I'm pretty much open to anything. I recognize that they each have their strengths and weaknesses. Hammer vs Striker is really a non issue for me

Close your eyes and take a pick. The large, European manufacturers all put out quality firearms. It comes down to what you want.
 
no beretta unless it is a really nice one,..CZ shadow is nice....Sig 320 is cool. 226 only if it is a legion or something unique.
 
All on your list are very good but quite different pistols. I own or have owned all of them (well, it was a 92FS but that's close enough) and liked them all. Me, I prefer variety in my collection, so since you already have a striker-fired pistol I'd go for one of the hammer-fired ones.
 
I just bought (today) the HK P30L. Has nice reviews from some of the experts south of the border. Was a tad over $1200 so not cheap but what is in Canada. It's a hammer fired.
 
CZ Shadow excellent, Glock 17 with some trigger mods. Don't like the Berettas but that's personal choice, and my Sig 226 combat with srt is only so so for me.
 
I'd say CZ Shadow or a p226 from your list. But if you can get your hands on a sphinx SDP compact (based on the CZ), you'll love it. Sold my p226 scorpion for it.
 
Sig P226 gonna be my next purchase too, these pistols are amazing.(The Legion is very nice but cost so much) I also love the Walther PPQ M2. Everyone seems to own a Glock, a CZ and a S&W now... If you want something different, buy a revolver!

-Beretta 92A1
-CZ Shadow
-Glock 17 Gen 4

Any of the 3 will do, flip a coin and grab any one of them. if you already have the M&P get one of the metal guns to mix it up, than sell the M&P and get a G17 gen4 :)
