Check the results of matches that tell what everybody shot. You'll find a lot of Glocks, M&P's and CZ's. There is a reason why most people don't shoot something else. Also check Gunbroker for used gun prices. The above 3 still sell for a good price used if you decide to sell and switch. Other values doesn't hold up as well.
Are you going to share one pistol or buy 2. I would recommend they both be the same if you get 2.
I think there is one in Charlotte now.Lawman's supply in Raleigh often has Police Department trade in guns
JFS, I'm about an hour and a half south of you in Columbia. If you'd like to ride down one Saturday (depending on my work schedule) or Sunday, we can do some shooting.
Thanks for the offer I will keep it in mind. Right now I am trying to find the right gun for my son and I to share. its looking like a SW M&P9. Was also wondering about the Walther PPX if anyone has any experience with it.Originally Posted by Al T.
M&P is fine.
The PPX is a decent carry gun, but if the primary job of the gun is competition, the PPX is not going to give you the available options that a Glock, M&P, or XD will.
As far as the XD goes, while I'm not a fan, they are increasing in their numbers in event, and I have heard certain aspects of the guns that shooters like. Not going to get me over to them unless they do some significant design changes, but I don't have quite the judgemental eye toward them that I once did.

M&P is a very good entry spot. They can be found at reasonable prices and have a lot of aftermarket support.
As to XD's, I think the XDm has a lot of value going on for shooting games. There is a lot of hate on the grip safety, but most of the valid points only have teeth if you are talking about defensive use.

Well looks like we are going with a Glock 17. Seems to be the best overall package for what we want to use it for. Plus there is tons of support out there for these guns so I feel it was the best choice.
Good choice.
Hard to say it's ever a bad choice. And it is an excellent starting point, even if it int your ending point.
