I personally like the second one the 92fs or one in a 40 cal which is a 96fs.. Go shoot a few of them and get the one you want.. I happen to like my sig 229.. My next gun will be a beretta or S&W revolver..

I would def. consider the Springfield XDM.
I purchased the .40 cal and absolutely love it, cant beat it for the price!

Same quality for other models.

As mentioned, you gotta find the pistol that fits you, not just the latest and greatest. That being said, if the XDm is the one, you won't regret it a bit. I have it in .40 and my dad has it in .40 and 9mm.
The 9mm is ridiculously manageable. I picked up my dad's for the first time and shot it at 10 feet. Almost made one large hole with it using simple WWB ammo. The .40 acts like a typical .40, but I recently added a solid guide rod with a heavier than stock spring. I haven't gotten to fire it at the range yet, but all the reviews say it transforms the felt recoil into more of a push than a snap, which will only reduce the time to require the target.
