    choosing a new 9mm

    I recently sold my px4 and I want to replace it with one of 3 guns.I sold it because although it's a nice shooter but my issues with thumbs causes me to fumble with the safety. I'm smashed and dislocated my thumbs so now u have no feeling.
    My first choice is a glock 19 then a HK. Either a p2000, p30 or usp compact.
    My third choice is a walther. This one seems random but the ergonomics are great.

    The glock would receive a grip reduction and stipple job, a little trigger work and night sights.
    The HK is pretty much perfect with the exception of adding a extended mag release.

    The gun will be used as a ccw, home security.

    With that said I need some feed back on the hk and walther. From the research I've done the hk is a shooter right out of the box. I've read that the p220r is slightly smaller and conceals a little better. The main complaint is the grip surface rubbing the skin.
    Is there any other complaints I should know.

    The walther seems like a poor man's hk.

    The glock made the list because I own a few, easy to work on a can be reliable.

    Money's not an issue so what would you do and is there a gun I'm not thinking of?

      CCW... why not a G26? And give the Gen4 grip a try before shelling out for a grip reduction.

        G19 is a good choice. Maybe a Shield with no safety?

        My only concern with using the shield as a home defense gun is mag capacity and flashlight attachment.

        The g19 holds a couple of more bullets (more if you have preban mags) and I'm not sure if the shield has a rail to attach a flashlight to?

        Also something to think about. If you want to carry concealed - does your the dept allow SSE guns on your permit?

          If you liked the Beretta, you could always get a G version, which is decocker-only. That's what I did with my 92FS and I love it!

            Get the P30. Now Glocks are great. I think most people have shot most of their lineup and the results and opinions are pretty much the same: great aftermarket, great track record, and awesome reliability and durability. I agree with these views but after shooting M&Ps, I sold my Glock 17 to get one. I have the full size 9mm, Shield, and 22. So now the only Glocks I would buy are the 20 and 29 since they're in 10mm. For HKs people say the same thing: great track record, awesome build quality and reliability. And here's the comment that pisses me off: "BUT THEY'RE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR A POLYMER GUN.....This drives me nuts. HK accuracy has been proven time and time again out shooting most metal framed guns. One comment in this thread was get the HK since money isn't an issue. Whatever. Why not just get a $3000 Nighthawk 1911.

              Get the G19 because you said,
              "The glock made the list because I own a few, easy to work on a can be reliable."


              Also get the H&K, because you said,
              "Money's not an issue".

              Get a Browning Hi-Power because you said,
              "Is there a gun I'm not thinking of"?

                Interesting............... Love mine, but you might prefer the fixed-sight MKIII.

                      ^^ CZ P-01 if you need the rail, PCR if not. Both are G19-sized compacts with forged alloy frames and decockers...
                      Doubt you will CCW a steel-framed CZ... unless you're a weight lifter, of course.

                        you mentioned that Glock 19 is your #1 choice. if you've already got Glocks and have a good history with the platform, why stir more soup into the pot? i'd stay with what has worked well for me. if you believe in the Glock, stay there. consideration of a Gen 2 G19 may yield benefit for you; no grooves on grip and no rail for accessories.
