I’ll jump on the walther bandwagon here as well. I’m 400 rounds into and it is by far the best handgun I have owned.
The only downside is that it “feels” snappier than my 9mm glocks. I think the grip is just a tad too smooth. I’m hoping it may be fixed by some talon grips.
I have some Trijicon HDs as well as a few holsters.
I agree with all about the classes. where I live there is nothing like this(that I know of) I would have to travel a minimum of 4 hours to find one with my work scheduling its not that easy. I haven’t ruled out the m&p I like the feel of it in my hand. i think you guys have made me second guess my choices I may have to go with an m&p yall really got me thinking now
I wouldn’t choose any of those. I started with an XD40 service and loved it, it’s also got ambidextrous controls and chamber loaded/cocked indicators if that’s what you’re into. I eventually went towards the Glock 22.
If you want a 9mm, you won’t go wrong with a Glock 17 or 19 if you have smaller hands.
I haven’t shot either, but from your list Iwould go FNS then PPQ. Thats just my preferences though.

I also started with a xd40 that’s a big negative on xds not for me
I drove 25 hours to get to my first real handgun course… and it was absolutely worth it.
Stop with the excuses… and get trained.
Where do you live? We can probably help find a good class for you over a weekend.
Your profile says Virginia:

I’m a big fan of the PPQ so that’s what gets my vote.
New sights for ANY pistol are all but mandatory…Glock, S&W,HK, Walther, all come with shitty sights…The only difference is, some are slightly less shitty than others…
I sold my G19 for a PPQ. Best pistol I’ve ever owned. No regrets.

I found “practical firearms training” in Alderson, WV. that’s closer to me anyone ever heard of them?
SW sights for the m&p are at least made of steel. That being said I replaced them on both my M&P’s just because there are better options. Plastic sights are far more unacceptable.
I’ve had my M&P for a couple of years. Once I got the trigger functional with an Apex DCAEK and the barrel replaced with a hand-fitted Storm Lake barrel, it’s worked out just fine. Ho hum.
FN or CZ.
From your list, Walther PPQ hands down. Outside your list, H&K P30.
PPQ all day.
My pops has a CZ Tactical I believe it’s called? It has one of the single best triggers I have ever fired on it. Compared to his S&W Custom Shop 1911 I would say there isn’t much difference between the two. Everyone seems to love Czs too. They are like the cheap bastard brother cast in the shadows
There is a big difference between the Sp01 tactical and any metal frame CZ compared to the P07. Although the P09 is available now and will accept Cajun Gunworks parts. That would be a solid option.
That’s Pat Goodale’s company. Not only does he have an outstanding reputation, he hosts high quality instructors. You can’t go wrong with PFT.
