3. If you want to do competition, buy a 2011, CZ or 320 Legion, depending on the division.
4. If this is carry / defensive, determine what else might be important for you besides the action. Such things may include size, "ecosystem" (in plain English range of sizes in the same caliber from the same manufacturer), ability to mount optics (in plain English no hammer fired HKs unless you want to pay arm and leg), manual safety option (no Glock), internal complexity vs simplicity, ammo restrictions, testing by independent entities, etc.
5. Five people can shoot LEM fast. If you have aspirations of shooting fast, don't pick LEM.
6. By now the choice will be rather limited.
