So this is one of those feel good gun stories I had this month.
I was leaving work with one of the local police officers. He stopped at the employee drop safe to get his duty weapon Smith and Wesson M&P (2.0?) in 45 with a 5" barrel. I got my off duty weapon Walther P99 in 40. On the way out the door we were talking firearms. He was complaining his Smith has too much recoil for duty carry, but its a 45 so he likes it. I dry fired his M&P, flat out not impressed by the trigger. It felt like crap to me.
I let him dry fire my Walther. "Wow" was all he said. He asked if it was single stack because the grip was so narrow compared to his S&W. "Nope, double stack .40." I had to put the magazine in my Walther twice to show I wasn't swapping them out. "Too bad, my duty weapon can't be double action." So I recommend the PPQ in any caliber, almost the same firearm as the P99 except with a consistent trigger.
Walked out of work today with the same officer. He was showing off his new weapon. PPQ 9mm.
