I am leaning toward the Beretta PX4 Storm. Had an XD-40 and sold it -- liked it a lot. Had a Browning Hi-Power in 40 and did not care for it -- sold it too. Might consider the FNP-40 if I do not get the Beretta. Had a Sig 2022 in 357 Sig, liked it but too much muzzle flip. Don't care for a buddy's Sig P229 in 40. Handguns are very personal things. About the only handgun I am truly satisfied with is a Colt Peacemaker or a Colt 1911. I am willing to give the PX4 Storm a try. Best advice I can give you is get what you like, and don't worry about what everyone else likes. Handgun has to work for you.
