Hey guys/gals new to the forum here. but Im in the market for handgun more or less for a home defense weapon. I’ve always been a glock guy already have 2 g19s and a g23 so Im looking for something a little different I have a few pistols in mind all in 9mm I will list them below in no particular order please give me any input on them.
Out of that list the FN would be my choice. I had a P07 duty for awhile but sold it for a P01. I’m a big CZ fan but accessories are very rare. Can’t find holsters for shit.
Out of your list, I’d go with the PPQ… I’m assuming the one you looked at was the M2,(button mag release) I personally have a M1, (lever release) and prefer that, But that’s me… While I haven’t shot mine lately,(been spending time learning a P-30 w/LEM) It’s been reliable and very accurate, Holsters, and mags are getting alot easier to find, and Trijicon has a set of HD’s out for the PPQ, and decent sights are about all the PPQ needs… The PPQ probably has the best trigger you’ll ever find in a polymer framed handgun.
Now thaat the accuracy issues have been addressed for a while, I second the M&P 9 recomendation. Did you rule this out for any reason?
The Walther would be my pick of your list but…
I LOVE the M&P platform;
Excellent ergonomics
Extemely reliable
Very common
Tons of aftermarket parts, support and holsters
-Sights, triggers and components, mag pouches, etc
Easy to get magazines (now at least)
Multiple versions available
Great customer service
Traditional rifling (nice if you want ot shoot lead reloads)
Made in the USA
Option for a thumbsafety that is easily removable if you dont want it
Easy to work on
I feel, now that the 9mm accuracy issues are resolved, it is the “better Glock”
BTW, Their 45 if the best on the market IMHO…super accurate and reliable. Mine is a 2" gun at 25 yards and I have ~3500 rounds without a malfunction. I even got 10 magazines includiing two 14 rds for $22 each 16 months ago
Have you taken a handgun training course led by a professional and well-respected instructor? If you have not, I’d use the money to go take at least one pistol specific course.
If you have taken a course and are confident in your abilities with a handgun:
Don’t buy the Sig p250… not a good choice.
The Walther PPQ is the best on that list from my point of view.
It is a pretty amazing handgun, and I feel that it has characteristics that set it apart from all other polymer handguns I’ve spent time with.
If you just want something new to play with… The PPQ would be great.
Price out at least 5 mags and a holster and mag pouch for the postol your interested in. Take note of how easy or hard it is to find this stuff. For the PPQ it sounds like new sights are all but mandatory …so price that out as well.
Why do you want something different? I’d probably get a g17 or put the $ into one of my 19s as an HD/uspsa gun, and more ammo… maybe a class. That’s just me though, and I’m boring.
You basically have 3 of the same gun. If you don’t compete, Id sell the 23. You could try an RDS on a 19.
I’ve not owned any of those firearms but I’ve shot the PPQ and it’s amazing. I’d probably own one if the mags weren’t so pricey or if HK’s weren’t higher on my list. That being said I love my M&P’s.

Ive shot the FNS and the PPQ. I still own Glock 19’s and a 17. For me I wanted to standardize on a platform and get training on just one platform to get fully acquainted with it. I would personally say spend the money on ammo and training or an RMR.
If you absolutely have to have something new, I would opt for the PPQ out of that list as it had the best trigger feel to me. I Wwas able to have very accurate hits and good follow ups with the PPQ. Just my 2¢…
