OK. Posted a thread a while ago asking about 239, P2000(sk), XD and M&P. This is for CCW.
Went to gun shop and fondled all of them.
It is now down to the HK P2000 (unsure if I want regular size or SK) or SIG 239.
Also unsure of 9mm vs 40. Think I'm leaning with 9mm just for slight ammo cost advantage.
I was not impressed by the M&P. It felt - I dunno. Very "tinny" and "hollow" compared to the HK and of course, SIG. I held a compact 40 and full size 45. To *me* there is no comparison between the HK and M&P. Of course, there's a huge price difference as well.
The XD. Eh. Dunno. I loved them when I first held them a year ago. Now they just feel/look a bit top heavy and blocky.
Keep in mind I have tiny girl like hands...
A gun I was very impressed with was the Berreta PX4 Storm. Man, wasn't expecting it to feel as solid as it was. Felt great. Too bad the sub compact isn't out right now.
I actually held the HK P2000 first. Felt right instantly. You know the feeling. And that was with the medium back strap. With small it would be even better!
The 239 with hogue grip would feel darn nice too. There are some really nice LNIB used examples on various boards and gunbroker right now.
I'm leaning towards the HK P2000 SK as of now though. It's lighter and as I understand it, I can use the full size mags from the 2000 if I wanted with an X-grip thingie and basically, it becomes a P2000.
I can *just* get my pinky squished while holding the 2000SK. Feels very solid, tight, controllable.
Unless there's some solid feeback for the SIG, I'm leaning to the HK P2000SK pretty heavily. I can get some very nice 239's for $500-$625 though. And they are very nice guns.
