I have not had a chance to shoot the P30...but I have shot the G17. Based purely off of refinement, overall comfort, fit & finish.....the P30 is the obvious choice. I dry fired the P30....and I liked the trigger better.

I think that I am going with the XD9.....as opposed to the P30 b/c of the cost difference.

If the point is cheaper practice with something that replicates your defense gun, the Glock is the obvious choice. You might also look into converting your 22 to 9mm for range practice.

There were two reasons. Yes to save money for the range/ and also to see what else is out there. I always want new/different things to see whats the best(for me at least), and the only semi auto handguns ive shot have been a GLOCK and an XD(went with the GLOCK), so im curious. Ive read awesome things about teh P30 but then I got to thinking. I shoot really well with a GLOCK and know its going to fire everytime I pull the trigger without a problem, so why spend several hundred dollars more on something that does the same thing? Needless to say I will be going with a G17. I would just get the conversion barell but then that just keeps my gun count at one, I want more!!
