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.

If you're open to revolvers, consider the Chiappa Rhino for great ergonomics plus reliability against cycle/feed/ammo failures. Just keep pulling the trigger. And you can do it all day long with .357 as easily as .38 due to the low bore axis. The reduction in felt recoil is real

Ha, the friend who taught me to shoot just sent me info about these! But more as a curiosity, on his bucket list to shoot some day.

Price is more than I'm looking to spend and I'd rather stay solidly mainstream for my first pistol.
