Which one would you get? I've narrowed it down to these three since my department only allows 9mm caliber. Out of the 3 which would you prefer for your on-duty weapon. I'm going to the range hopefully some time next week to rent these 3 out and see which one I feel comfortable with. I would like to see what people have to say that have owned or fired any of the three.

One thats not plastic. But given the choice of those 3 Id say the Glock. As far as toy er polymer frames go they kind of set the standard. But XD's are coming up real strong. If I was you and I could carry any 9 mm Id get an all steel frame Sig. Yeah its a bit more but when you shoot it you can defently see where that extra cash goes.Caedite eos.

Anything but the glock.Comment

This is going to get pretty subjective since the pistols you have listed are more or less fairly solid without any reputable issues; any of those three would be comparable for your needs. Hit the range, find the one that fits your hand the best and go from there."Officer, you are kinda hot."

I have shot all three extensively (+500 rnds) and I own a G17 that I've had for several years. In my opinion, there is only one choice if money is no object. The HK P30.
The P30 is light years ahead of the Glock and better than the M&P for ergonomics. Trigger on all three are very different. Glock has a very short reset, but I hate the stacking. The M&P is long and sproingy feeling. The HK is a DA/SA set up and the DA initial shot is long, but the reset is short enough with a good SA follow through. Recoil on all three are very manageable. Naturally since I have more trigger time behind the Glock, I can get back on target quicker than the others. Accuracy, as much as I loved my Glock, I'm the worst with it. The M&P points more naturally so I can shoot it a little more fine. The P30 was truly outstanding once I relearned the DA first shot.
If I was going to do it all over again and if the choices now were available a couple years back, I would have without a doubt picked the P30. That grip is absolutely fantastic. The size of it also makes it easier to carry off duty versus a full size G17 or M&P. Anyone who has yet to fire one, its a must.Last edited by R12GS; 08-12-2008, 10:39 PM.People grow through experience, if they meet life honestly and courageously.

Glock
I don't like the M&P trigger. I havent gotten to handle a "worked over" M&P but I really do not like the trigger on the stock models.
I have expressed my vile dislike for guns that require you to go DA/SA in other threads."People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell

My agency issues the HK (USP40, not P30). Everone who carries one seems to likes it...
As far DA/SA, its a thing to be gotten accustomed to. I did with my Colt Double Eagle...
Here's a really good writeup on the p-30.

Of the 3 I would go with the Glock. I had a 17 several years ago and really liked it. I carry a H&K now and just haven't fallen in love with the trigger on it. I shoot my Glocks much better at the range. I haven't gotten to shoot an M&P yet but haven't heard many bad things about them. I have enough experience with other S&W semi autos that makes me go towards the Glock.Comment

Do you have to buy the firearm? If that was the case I'd still go with the Smith...it will always fit your hand just right with the three backstraps...has a light rail for alternate rail lights on burglaries or felony stops and the gun shoots very smooth and you get a lifetime warranty with the pistol from an american company. We carry the M&P 40sw and we have had no problems yet..Originally posted by ERMDPD View Post"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world.
