I've narrowed down to getting the sig v-tac 320, glock 26, glock 19, chiappa rhino 60ds, or maybe a .22.

Your friend has a strong like of Sigs, so of your new "narrowed" list (which is longer than your initial list!), I'd say he might be happiest with the P320. As others have noted, if you can find an M17 commemorative, it's FDE.
After that, I'd opt for the G19 - it's a fullish sized striker fired pistol - a niche that's not "filled" in his current stable. I'd skip the G26, because as others have pointed out, the compact/sub compact striker fired pistol role is already filled by the P365.
I'd pass on the Rhino, but if you're just looking for something quirky that is "different" from his current pistols, it is that in spades.
There are WAY too many .22s (handguns and rifles) on the market to even START looking at those for a quick pick.
A Glock 19 is probably the “right” buy, considering what he already owns.Quote:

Out of your narrowed list, VTAC P320 or Glock G19. Best, Jon
From the narrowed list-G19 all day long. Reliability, robustness, availability of OEM mags, price of OEM mags, avai. and price of training mags (Magpul), avail. of holsters and mag pouches, avail of night sight options, avail of parts, ability to service in the field and
AVAILABILITY OF THE GADGET
Seriously, this solves the hardware issue. Move on to the software challenge re training etc.
@aimcat, Don't leave us hanging...what did you pick???
Well as a .45 guy, not the Beretta.
As a gunsmith, and since the XD needs special tools I can't get (from the factory) it can go to hell.
FN 45 for the win.
