I am looking at a soft .40 S&W handgun that shoots soft and flat under. I narrowed it to the M&P, CZ 75B Compact or even Beretta PX4. They are all about the same price range.
M&P - Shorter reset, lighter weight, more after market products, grip is good but not as good as CZ. Slightly lower bore axis.
CZ - Reset can be shortened, heavier 37.8 oz, grip is perfect, lower bore than 1911's but slightly higher than M&P, more accurate than M&P based on test data from gun magazines sub 2" at 25 yards and consistant between ammo types. I have a CZ SP01 in 9mm and it is very easy to shoot fast and accurate.
