Happiness is a new gun 2

[sorcerer]

Picked up a M&P sporter 11 AR with a CT red dot used, Never fired. My first AR. This may get expensive feeding it.

...

Double action but not too long or heavy, DA/SA might be ok.
Enough weight to keep the long heavy trigger pull steady till the break. The compact was too light. Yes, too light.
At least 10 rounds on board, 15 is good.
Compact size but a full grip and 4” barrel.
Steel frame, unless alloy or plastic provides the above criteria.
No thumb safety (hence the BD)
Able to shoot tight groups, better than “combat accurate.”

How about an HK P30 LEM John?
ID Number UPC Code Description
81000103 642230260467 P30, 9mm, (V1) "light" LEM , 2 17rd magazines

I’d love to try out all the HK models.

Love my HK P2SK in .40 cal. Handles the caliber better than most. V3 trigger 11# DA and 5.5 SA. Designed for fast follow up shots.

I'm also interested in the FN 509 midsize. Looks to be a great accurate striker fired gun.

My brother has a FN 509. It is a great shooter. Also has an HK, but it's a 45. Not sure the model. That one is scary accurate.

I got to see and touch some CZ 75s today at the LGS. Full and compact, B, BD, and a fancy railed one. The compact didn’t excite me. The full size D Omega was my first choice, but it wasn’t batting its eyelashes at me. Not sure what it was. Nothing wrong with it, but it wasn’t love at first sight.

Based on my revolver odyssey, what I want in a semiauto 9mm is:

Double action but not too long or heavy, DA/SA might be ok.
Enough weight to keep the long heavy trigger pull steady till the break. The compact was too light. Yes, too light.

You may want to check out a Sig P229
I own two (although in 357).
Both have E2 grips which really enhances the ergonomics for me.

Eat my words? When the P365 came out in 380 I questioned the need for that gun in that caliber. Well, I won one in a drawing at a local gun stores anniversary party. It came equipped with Sigs new Romeo Zero Elite Red dot which is supposed to have corrected all the problems Sig had with their original model optic.
Off to the range last night and I did notice a reduction in recoil and although I an not a fan of mounted optics, it was almost like cheating. This optic has the option to change reticles so picking up the dot is a non issue and the sights are suppressor height and co-witness.
The gun ran perfectly with some factory ammo as well as my handloads. This gun is a nice compliment to my two other P365's both in 9mm.
