One thing I like about the P30 is that the rear sight doesn't stick up as high as the P99, the profile makes it shorter, and it doesn't have the boxy look to it that the Walther has. It's alot smoother and elegant looking and I just love the look of it. I don't have much of an issue with the 9mm para and I like to squeeze off a clip fairly rapidly down range without having the added kick (like my revolver, ow!) and the lower capacity clips of some of the heavier rounds, and I am also looking at this from a Police Officer's prospective, since I will not be restricted by any laws concerning the amount of bullets I can carry once I graduate. Then I will finally be able to use full clips outside our range when we aren't in class, and I want a pistol that is going to be there with me throughout my future career.
I factored in the Glock as well, which is not popular at all here with Officers. I haven't really understood that because a glock is a really great gun to have and requires alot less maintenance, and the frame is built from materials that are great when you're looking into longevity. But I have a theory that it's a little too 'girly' looking and it has more of a small power-tool feel to it. I don't like the grip to it at all either, but I would like to own one eventually in the future just to finally say that 'yeah I have a glock', but it's not something I am really looking for right now.
The 1911's are a gun that noone carries here. They're an old school gun that was popular in the 80's, along with revolvers, but eventually just died out. I have only fired a 1911 once on the range way back in the day when I got my liscense, and I just didn't have a connection to it. For me when I pick up a handgun, it's like it has it's own animus and it's like a chemistry I have to have in order to go ahead and make a decision to own one, and I just never had that with 1911s..
Well, with the CX4, I like the fact that you can mount accessories up the wazoo on this gun, which I absolutely love to do, and which I appreciated on guns I've had like the AR. Also, it's frame is built to make it so the positioning of the hands allows for a more steadier shooting experience with better, smoother, and I dare say faster(?) target aquisition. I've only competed twice in Toronto shooting competitions which, as you can imagine, draws alot of tough and experienced competators, and I find that when that sort of pressure is put on me to make good accurate shots, my adrenaline goes up and I tend to get really excited, and when my blood gets pumping, I tend to shake a bit which throws my aim off a wee bit with pistols, which might be an issue though should I ever be required to pull my weapon under a stressful situation. I never had that problem at all with the CX4 in terms of pistol calibres.
