None of the above. I'm just not a fan of the tupperware guns. I've tried them, but I just don't like them.

While I own neither at the moment, it's my intention to pick up a 24/7 PRO 9mm or .40 S&W and an XD Tactical .45 in the near future.

If you get the 24/7 pro, I recommend getting the .40.
The 45's have had feed problems, and the 9mm's shoot way low as a rule (I've got one, can verify!)
I haven't seen any complaints about the .40's.

Walther P99...
Sig pro and the HK p2000 are pretty nice too though.

Mine is the Ruger P97. It fits my hand well, points perfectly for me and is very accurate.

Right now it's the M&P 9. I am a fan of glocks, but the MP has better ergonomics. The ruger p97/p345 are nice guns. The Ruger 22/45 series are a must own. USP's are a tad big for my hands. The P99 is "ok", but a bit odd. The XD tactical's are a blast. The steyr M-a1 series are definitely interesting, I've heard good things, but no direct experience.

M&P-great ergonomics, quality of build, easy takedown, slim profile for a doublestack. If you haven't tried one, you don't know what you are missing.

No Walther?

I voted HK of the options on the poll, but it's a pretty close call between a P-99AS and a USP.

M&P, by a mile. I'd also suggest the poll should have the M&P separate from the Sigma. Way different pistols.

STI - assuming the 2011 qualifies as a plastic gun.

Had a Glock 23 and just couldn't shoot it well. I didn't really care for the ergonomics. Thought I'd never get another polymer until I handled a HK P2000at the gun shop. I knew then I had to have it. I haven't been disappointed.

I love my two M & P's and my Sigma SW9VE but they are entirely different guns.

M&P for me. My M&P9 full size is a great shooter. Comfortable, accurate, reliable, looks good, and it had a smooth trigger right out of the box.

Ciao,

"Tupperware" makes me break out in a rash ........ and I have to fondle one of my Wilson's ... to get the feeling back in my hands. And the smell of "melting tupperware" is just not pleasant ..... sorry, just not a fan of "plastic guns" regardless of who makes them ( including the new Wilson ADP offering ...). I know I'm a dinosauer, but I like it this way ......

I was a fan of them until my XD got this funky rust on the frame that I couldn't get rid of! Had to have the frame refinished!


(just kidding - I like my XD, but I much prefer metal guns)
