I had some fun today at The Strip Gun Club. Shot FN 5.7, HK UMP45, HK G36C, and M240B.

Started breaking in the new toys today.
S&W Victory 22LR Threaded
CZ 75 Compact D PCR
Heritage Arms Rough Rider 6" 22LR (ops checking after some work for a buddy)
Sig M11A1
Rough Rider is great little revolver well worth picking up for $150, I already have one.
CZ OMG! I think I found a new favorite pistol and carry gun. Now just have to find some holsters for it.
M11A1, shoots like a Sig, but disappointing after shooting the CZ.
Victory has a great feel to it, although I'm delaying verdict on this until it's properly broken in. I experienced the usual FTF and FTE using Federal Automatch common with brand new 22 pistols.

I have quite a few firearms but only pictures of my last few purchases.
Anderson Mfg Multi-cal lower. This will end up as a 300AAC AR.
S&W MP40 with Night Sights, was a former Detroit Police Department firearm. but besides that i have no clue the history on it.

I'm kinda meh on them at best. I used to have striker guns (XD, M&P) and got away for the DA/SA. But to each their own.
I'm sure they're nice guns and everything, but I prefer my sig's in steel, and with a hammer.

As a long time H&K fan with a healthy respect for Sig Sauer & Kmber tossed in, I was pleasantly surprised last week. I trust my life to H&K on a daily basis, a P2000SK as a carry for the last 3 years, a Kimber Pro Carry II for 1.5 years before that.
Two weeks ago I purchased a CZ 75 D PCR Compact, last week it went out to the Tennessee range. I'd heard good things about the CZ 75 for years, but it took me 6 years since seeing one to pick one up. I fired off the first mag, and was dumbfounded. The 100 count box went, then another, and another. This thing never jammed, always shot true, was controllable, comfortable, simple to operate, just intuitive and natural. My only complaint was the slide was a little difficult to get a grip on to rack. Part of this was the design, part of it the still new and stiff springs, and something I fully expect to get easier as I break it in and continue training with it.
I used to suggest an XD to any new shooter as a good simple gun to learn on. While I've never personally been a fan of Glock, there's nothing wrong with it either. I've also seen good results from those who've trained on the older steel frame Ruger centerfire pistols. They all move down the list and CZ goes to the top. It even falls into an affordable price range as well (~$600 to the ~$500-550 of the XD, and $800+ for HK/SIG).
For reference I was throwing in a mag of Sig M11A1 and HK USP9 intermittently with about every second mag of the PCR, as a comparison. While the M11A1 was new out of the box like the PCR, the USP9 had been well broken in. The HK didn't feel better or worse, just different, and less ergonomic. The PCR did feel smoother and easier than the M11 though, not quite as bulky either. An opinion shared by three family members, two of which were significantly less experienced shooters.
At the end of a week, I have a new favorite gun. Today there was an order placed to CrossBreed holsters so that I can start carrying it soon as well!

I'm not necessarily saying that steel is better, it's just become my preference. I beat the dog crap out of my M&P and it never quit on me. Ever.
A lot of it is personal preference. I personally HATE glock, but they are a good gun, and work extremely well.
I imagine the 320's are a good gun, but at that price point in a polymer gun I would look at the M&P's and Glocks also.
But it the end, it's what you like in your hand.....as long as it's not a hi-point.

This is 100% true. I have been asked many of times why do i carry a full sized pistol... well it's what feels right in my hand. I can't grip the little LCP or P3AT for the life of me. Not to mention i would rather carry a 9mm and up as a personal preference. I have no qualms against Glock as my wife has a G42 for her Personal carry gun.
