So many new striker fired pistols, which to choose?

The new CZ P10 is supposed to be 'the Glock perfected'. Not sure if CZ said that or not but I have read it in a few reviews.
And I love Beretta's, so the APX interests me even though the slide looks a bit unique.
I love reliability of Walther's but not the best fit for my big hands.
Lots of love for FN here, from some of the posters, why are these your favourites?

FNS- great balance, accurate, utterly dependable, fantastic grip texture, excellent sights, cold hammer forged barrel, polished feed ramp, 3 excellent metal mags, fully ambidextrous ( other than take down lever) , grip angle is very similar to the 1911, FN has been making military weapons for a hundred years, and the damn thing just looks so cool,lol
When I was looking for my first pistol FN wasn't even on the list until I saw one locally, it looks way better in person than in pics.
Drawbacks are mags are expensive, there is very little factory support in Canada, and holsters were hard to find but that is changing.
Can't beat it for the price, Canik is close IMHO, but only 2 mags, the holster in the kit sucks, and the FNS is made in the good old USA!
 
The made in usa marketing is just that, has no bearing on quality. I agree with you on the other parts, FNS is a nice pistol but i also think the tp9 sf elite has build quality as good as the fns9, i wanted a smaller size pistol and this fits the bill. We live in a global market and if it is quality and cheaper then i will buy it, country of origin/where its made doesn't matter.
 
I'm interested in the new CZ but it won't be here fot a while from what I understand. Beretta APX looks pretty cool too. But still making its way here. My Current plastic gun of choice is gen4 glock 17
 
As a general rule I don't like plastic frame striker guns. Tried quite a few, Don't like Glocks unless they have a fully upgraded trigger, Walthers have nice triggers and the fit and finish is good but they are a bit light in the front end for my taste so get quite a lot of muzzle flip. Best I have tried is the Sig P320. Great trigger and very easy to shoot well. Slightly longer barrel than typical so there is less muzzle flip. Price is decent. If I were to buy a striker pistol it would be the P320.

This has been my experience. The P99 when it first came out easily matched the accuracy of 1911's and even a tuned BHP I owned.


The PPQ made the trigger even better and made it the same pull for every shot.

My Walthers routinely outshoot my HK's and Glocks
 
How does the trigger on the Cz P10 and PPQ compare to the Grand Power pistols?

Yeah I realize the latter isn't striker fired but it's my benchmark when it comes to polymer duty pistol triggers.
 
I own an M&P .40 and honestly love it. now if i could go back and do it again i would have gotten the 9mm as .40 is a little expensive and I find after 50-75 rounds (20 for the miss) you start to feel it in your wrists, not to mention .40S&W is not the cheapest. also the take down with having to flip down that little lever inside is not as fast as i would like. but the feel in my hand is awesome, it came with the interchangeable grips so it fits almost anyone's hands and she shoots nice for sure. plus the range kit makes it easy to grab and go and have everything you need. just my $0.02
 
Tried the CZ P10 at the Shot Show. I was very excited but ended up being disappointed. Wouldn't trade the PPQ for one. Very nice but no where near as good as the hype behind the gun.

I went thinking.....if CZ offers this in a long slide gun some day, I'll trade my PPQ for one. When I was done with the P10 I was firmly in the don't trade the PPQ for one.
