P07+a few parts+ basic milling= about the same price as an MOS Glock. Really a wash once you add holsters and the dot.... Maybe a 10% price difference?
One new option you might consider is the upcoming Grand Power MK23, which are going to be optics ready from the factory.
I just picked up a 2.0 CORE for my wife and I like it better than any other striker-fired pistol I've shot. I zeroed the dot the other day and was very pleased with the accuracy. I attribute part of the nice group to the superb trigger. The three rounds under the tape were pretty tight, too. (Especially considering it was me on the trigger!) I prefer my CZ but this S&W is pretty slick.
There are really only 3 answers in my mind.
Sig 229 - readily available OEM optics ready
Beretta 92C - I think only available from LTT. I'm not sure if I have actually seen a 92C with an optic. - I'll add that the Centurion concealed as well as a 19 for me. The Centurion is probably my favorite Beretta.
Beretta PX4CC - I believe only available optics ready from LTT
My favorite TDA trigger is the 229. If I had to choose one TDA to live with for the rest of my life - the 229 would be it, followed closely by the 226.

I don't get why the mp9 series isn't more popular with the 2.0 variantsI just picked up a 2.0 CORE for my wife and I like it better than any other striker-fired pistol I've shot. I zeroed the dot the other day and was very pleased with the accuracy. I attribute part of the nice group to the superb trigger. The three rounds under the tape were pretty tight, too.

I see then in cop holsters quite often. The 320 and M&P are in a pretty close fight behind Glock for LEO contracts.
For the civilian crowd... it's a popular gun. Some people don't like Smith. Some people think the M&P is "cheap". Some people are still afraid of the mushy trigger and accuracy problems of the 1.0. Biggest reason? It's not new and flashy.
Basically the only gun relatively immune to the need to be "the new hotness" is Glock, and thats an enviable market position.
Now I've seen one! I still like the Centurion better but it's good to know the compact is an option.

When the wolves are at the door and my life is on the line and I had to pick one striker fired 9mm pistol to go to war and fight with *out of the box*, it would still be a Glock. From past experience I just believe Glock has better consistent quality control over most other brands of SF pistols. Of course if you have vetted your pistol through thousands of rds of ammo and it has prove reliable, carry whatever pistol you want.
I'm waiting for the non-ported 4" barrel/slide for the P365 Macro. I'll probably be buying two when they come out. (1-2 year ETA)

Standard non-ported Macro has a 3.7" barrel. Is 0.3" that important?
I'm still kind of miffed that the Macro went with a grip longer than the G19, as the grip is what I typically have the hardest time concealing.
