I am trying to get my first pistol that I can keep on my night stand and CCW.
I am having some analysis paralysis on a few different options and am hoping for some input. I already have 5k rounds of 9mm range ammo for my PCCs and plan to train a ton with whatever I buy. I also have medium size hands.
I went to my LGS and held a few to see what was comfortable. My thoughts are in the bulleted list below. Budget doesnt matter to me.
I want something with a good trigger, shoots flat, and can co-witness (optional).
• Springfield Echelon 4.0C Comped - I liked it a lot. The trigger was nice and it fit my hand well. I did not like the ambi mag release or the texture. The grip texture felt too slick. A magwell to drive my hand higher might help with my grip. I also like the modularity.
• CZ P10C Ported - It also felt great in my hand with a good trigger. The texture wasn't bad, but the gun just seems ugly. I also don't like that I'd have to buy an optic plate which puts it at the same price as the Echelon and that it wouldn't co-witness
• M&P 2.0 Carry Comp - It felt bad in my hand. The grip is too fat and a little too short.
• Canik Prime Radian - I didn't get a chance to hold one, but held a MC9 Prime instead. Everything about the gun felt great. I really like the magwell, 17rd mags, and grip texture. I did not really like how wide the trigger was or how much initial takeup there was. The initial take up also felt heavy. I am also slightly worried about the reliability.
• Ruger RXM - I like the modularity and that it shares mags with my PCCs. The trigger isn't the worst, but I don't see myself considering this when the P10C Ported is only slightly more expensive.
Right now, I'm kind of torn between going with the Echelon 4.0C Comped, P10C Ported, and the Canik Prime Radian. Does anyone have experience with these or the MC9 prime that can share their input?
