Pistol with these features?

[Pwilliams1]

Speaking from my own experience, a usp or an fnx 9 would fit the bill. I have both, I prefer the erogs of the fnx, but the usp without a doubt has a better trigger.

Fnx holds more rounds, both are more accurate than I am. I have never had a problem with either.

The fnx also has ambi controls

+1 for FNX-9 I love it.

Kids. You might want to add to your list of mandatory features grips that can be adjusted for size. A number of pistols fit that bill.

I own an M&P 9mm, and those have three backstrap options. It is striker fired so no decocking option, but you can get a slide safety on it.

The lady in my life was a bit frustrated with the PPK/S, because they are rough to rack, and the blowback operation makes you feel more recoil than a .380 ought to, perhaps due to the design of the backstrap. Based on what she said she wanted I thought she would end up with something small in 9mm.

But, on Sat we went to a gun show and she quickly gravitated to the HK P30. Together we put 200 rounds through it yesterday. This is one amazing pistol. The grip has 3 backstrap options, as well as 3 options for the side panels. We changed nothing on the first outing. My normal 8 inch groups were instantly 3 inch groups with the first mag. She too was dead on it.

The P30 has a decocker and your other list of needs, except for a safety. Very expensive, in the $950 area. But all I can say is I am impressed. Very.

CZ SP01 Tactical.

Since its for yourself and your kids I would go with the smaller grip of the Beretta Storm or even better the 9mm 1911 models out there. Though with the sub $600 price tag might just wanna hold off on that 1911.

Ruger SR series. No decocker though

The CZ-75 Phantom, has a decocking lever that doubles as a manual safety. Additionally, it has interchangeable grip strap inserts to accommodate users with different sized hands.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the looks of the FNX9 and CZ75 Phantom. Someone brought up a good point about grip size for when my kids use it. Can anyone advise on how these two compare to a Berreta M9? Hats a good reference for me since I used to carry one. Thanks again for your help!

I don't have a beretta so I can't speak on that, but the fnx series comes with 3 or 4 backstraps.

USP's are enormous.

The M9 is massive in the hand. The USP is definitely easier to hold than an M9.

One more for the cz p-07. Just got one for the fiance and we both enjoy shooting it. Can with tritium sights too

Another vote for a CZ P07. Very good gun that points easy, light weight and low bore axis that makes it easy to stay on target.
Very good gun for the money ($500) and more accurate then everything in it's price point except for another CZ.

As far as the grip goes most CZs have the ability to be nearly one size fits all. I don't know how CZ does it but it will fit most hands.

Another vote for the HK USP, especially the Compact. 9/357sig/40 barrel is 3.58". One big advantage of the 357SIG or .40S&W is that not only can you get the other caliber barrel as the only part you need to shoot the other caliber, you can buy an EFK stainless 9mm barrel and shoot 9mm out of the same mags as the 357SIG and .40S&W. All the other guns out there that have that option (Sigs for instance) require you to buy 9mm mags to make it work. And the USP-C can be carried either cocked and locked or decocked and safety on. Ambidextrous safeties are available. I think the P2000 can be setup the same. Nice thing about a gun that shoots 3 different calibers is you can often find ammo to shoot in it that you might not find in a single caliber firearm. I use the HK in IDPA SSP in 9mm, but CCW it in 357 Sig.

The HK's are good choices.... but pricey. My suggestion would be the FNX-9. Has every single feature that you're looking for, decent price, comes with three 17 round magazines.

Cocked and locked's don't have decockers. That said the EAA Witness line of CZ75 clones are an incredible switch slide/caliber package.

The FNX-9 can cocked and locked OR in DAO mode and it does have a decocker. I'm not aware of any other handguns that are capable of these features.

The USP can...all mine are (V1/V2 RH/LH with external hammer, DA/SA with safety lever that is up for CAL, centered for fire, down for decock)

 

[DoubleTap007]

HK USP Compact or Full Size depending on what feels better in your hand.

This is not true for the USP's. You can cock the gun, hammer back, and put the safety on it. Push the safety all the way down will decock hammer.

I have the cz p-07 duty. Its sweet and it fits my hands so well.

 

[spclopr8tr]

HK USP Compact or Full Size depending on what feels better in your hand.

And you can find an HK USP for $600 or less? HK web site shows USP compact MSRP at around $1000 and up.

It seems like most of these recommendations all go along the line of brand xx meets all your requirements EXCEPT for (fill in the blank).

HK45 as well.

Px4 subcompact. Has all of the requested features and will fit a smaller hand perfectly.
