    From your list, I'd suggest the SP-01 (in any flavor).

      The fn 5.7 seems like a good pistol.. Are there any future gunmakers planning to venture into the 5.7 round?

        5.7 cartridge is proprietary to FN Herstal. If there are any other weapons beside the PDW and the fiveSeven that fire it, I believe that they would need to be licensed by FN.

          You need a .45 and a good .22 target pistol.

            I agree. SP-01 is sweet. Been eyeing a CZ for a long time but they discontinued my favorite one. The SP-01 Phantom.

            I have a 22 pistol. Just not listed since it's irrelevant.

            But I agree, a .45 is needed but not now. After I am set with a 9mm,.40 collection I will venture into .45, specifically the 1911.

              But my LGS did say that the PPQ is kind of like a mini HK P30.
              They might be visually similar, but the HK P30 is a DA/SA hammer-fired pistol and the PPQ is striker-fired. Not sure what your preference is, but it's kind of an apples-to-oranges comparison.

                If you really want a polymer in 9, and you already have a Glock and an HK, and the Phantom is out of the question unless via PPT, then maybe a Ruger SR9?

                If steel frame is okay, CZ and CZ clones are great, or maybe a 1911 in 9mm.

                These are based on what I have shot and/or own/owned.

                  have you thought about the LH9 ?
                  its supposed to be really high quality and kind of resembles the old smith and wesson 59 series comes in a few flavors incl. a compact i think

                  American manufacturer of the Lionheart Industries USA Vulcan 9 pistol.

                    Diversify: I'll suggest a .357 and/or a .45.

                    A .357 is a "two-fer" in that it'll shoot both .38 and .357, which is a bonus. Ammo isn't too pricey and reloading them is also easy if you're so inclined.

                    A .45; All 'serious' handgunners have a .45. The platform you choose is up to you but the new Glock 41 looks promising.

                      Smith 686 or Ruger GP100.

                        You lack a Sig in your collection. I would suggest doing yourself the favor of getting one.

                          Can't comment on the factuality of that statement. Can point out that Masterpiece Arms and several manufacturers of AR uppers are all cranking out 5.7 launchers of varied styles.

                          I can't possibly make the argument for a practical need for the 5.7 round or any of the firearms chambered for it to the average shooter. I can say that the Five Seven pistol is probably one of the most fun, accurate, and reliable firearms I own. Should the opportunity to own a PS90 type firearm ever present itself, or for that matter any reliable carbine chambered for the round, I'd seriously consider getting one.

                              CZ SP01 seems like a great choice.

                                The 5.7 is a brilliant handgun and cartridge combination when carrying a 20 round or 30 round magazine. But in CA where you can only have a 10 round mag, it really makes no sense.
                                Sticking with 9mm is perfectly sensible or I hope so since it's what I've been doing except for two revolvers. So I'd suggest a lightly used H&K P7M8. Brilliant design, super accurate and very safe. Plus you will always get out of it whatever you paid, and likely more.
                                Alternatively, breaking the 9mm focus and again with an eye toward the ten round limit, moving to a bigger round is worth considering. After all, if you can only carry ten, they might as well be as big as practical. So either a Glock 20 or 29 in 10mm, or any number of striker fired models in 45 (or how about a Kriss!!!??) would be a nice addition.
                                You can't go wrong here but there are certainly more interesting and valuable choices to consider.
