What semi-autos are best in this style...?

[beast1989]

I have two XDs and I like the style of the gun. Im thinking about buying another sometime soon but Im not sure which one to get. I like the style of XD, Beretta Px4, Taurus 24/7, Glock (they are awfully bland but the overall style i like) type guns.

In short I dont really like 1911 looking guns or revolvers but guns that look similar to the ones I mentioned is what I want to buy. So far Im leaning towards the beretta or a Glock in 9mm or .45

What do you guys suggest for manufacturers/guns that I mentioned and all those I have not????

Unless you are just wanting to branch out and try something different, I'd say just get another XD. If you want to try something else, go with a Glock.

If you can find one, check out a CZ 75. I had a couple XD's and will probably get an M in the future but the CZ's just fit better and are more controllable because of the little extra weight from the steel frame.
H&H had one last week.

The PX4 is getting flack for the rotary locking/unlocking system torquing shooters hands/wrists a bit during the cycle. Glock's quality is unmatched, but they're ugly; I love Glocks, but man are they ugly. Taurus is up in the air; you'll either get a fantastic one, or end up sending it back to the factory in Brazil, ON YOUR DOLLAR, for warranty rework.

Edit: This is weird, I keep capitalizing the W and the P above, but when I save it, it reverts to lower case.

CDNN has some good deals right now on Type "C" Beretta PX4's. I liked the Type "C" action as I hate DA/SA pistols. Type "C" is DAO, has no safety/decocker and leaves the hammer at half cock after each shot so there isn't the super long pull of the Type "D" DAO. The trigger was very, very smooth.
I had one recently and found the fit superb and the pistol fun to shoot with 2 hands. With one hand it does torque a lot, mine was a .40 and I always used 180 grain bullets. I didn't really notice the torque when using a proper 2 handed hold, but it was definitely noticeable with one hand.
I used the smallest backstrap and found that to fit me perfectly.
They are different, really well made and if I had kept it I would certainly have been tempted to buy a CX4 carbine to go with it as the mags could interchange between pistol and carbine.
I sold the gun when I became unemployed, not because I disliked it. They aren't for everyone, but at the price CDNN was offering them for (I think it was $399, but I've deleted the email and can't say for sure) you probably haven't much to lose.

The Walther P99QA is another interesting pistol. I got one to go with my Walther PPS since it had the same ambi trigger guard mag release system which I really like. I liked everything about the P99QA but the trigger. The trigger was very rough and would not smooth out even after thousands of rounds of dry firing, a little polishing and a lighter striker spring. I sold it because I just couldn't get used to the trigger.

Well I just turned 21 in Dec. and my funds are limited since I go to the mighty expensive OU. My XD-9 and XD-40 are enough of the springfield brand for now. I want to in essence taste the gun "rainbow" while making each of my purchases count with quality guns.
