Any 9mm pistol aficionados here?

I'm trying to narrow down my options for a home defense pistol.

* CZ P10 F (optics ready) is my top candidate

* S&W M&P M2.0 full size (optics ready) in the mix

* Walther PDP fading but still on the list

I haven't shot any of them yet, so it's all subject to change.

Anyone have any experience with any of the above?

Why no Glock? The chunky grip is a non-starter for me; just always feels a bit too big for me to secure a solid grip on. I'm not a super-experienced shooter so I need to feel confident that I can control it.

I'm prioritizing grip fit / ergonomics and recoil / muzzle flip control (thus the CZ and not so much the PDP, or so I'm told).

Why full size? I'm not in a carry state. Main use case is home defense and just overall pistol training / skill building.

Of that list, the CZ.

The M&P is a stupidly reliable piece, but the CZ trigger is "better."

But anyone who complains about triggers is not really someone I'd listen to about defensive weapon use. You will not notice the trigger in defensive use unless you train under EXTREME stress conditions VERY regularly.

But...

Get a shotgun. Train with it. There is no finer close quarters weapon if you do your part.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm very late to the shooting world and slowly building my skills and confidence. Not there yet with shotguns. Only recently decided I was ready to progress from my 9mm PC Carbine to a handgun.
