Question Overthinking what to get. 9MM PX4, PDP, Echelon, SA1911 Target, or SA EMP 3"?

You certainly can't by blind and just go off one person's opinion, as evidenced by all of your great comments and suggestions. I thought maybe I would post this and if I picked a RED FLAG gun you guys would beat it to death and there would be a clear standout winner, but that did not happen. Nobody hated any one single gun in consensus, nobody even liked one single gun in consensus. I have taken notes on the ones that did get multiple mentions, and probably still will try a few of the rest. Thank you for helping me out with this!
 
Buy the one that looks the coolest to you. The one that makes you want to pose in the mirror and look like a badass.
This is not a joke. Your stated reason is "a gun that makes you want to shoot more.". Your choices are all decent guns.
1) You already have Glocks for practical purposes.
2) you won't really know what the best gun for you until you shoot more and find incompatiblities with your current favorite.

Logic makes decisions, but emotions drive action. Since it's action you want, go with the emotional choice and don't overthink it.
solid suggestion apart from everyone else's suggestion! I totallly get your angle, makes a lot of sense. I will let you know what I do. Much appreciation for taking part in my post!
