What do you think is the best all-around 9mm that is on the Roster?

Metcalf and Coyote Point banned it. Pretty sure Richmond banned it but im not sure if its USPSA only or the entire facility. Pretty much it sucks to be a 320 owner and live in the bay unless you want to drive really far or shoot indoor
Not sure that's true Metcalf banned the P320, has anyone tried to shoot there and were told no? United Sportsmen Inc. didn't. There's also Livermore from what I remember. I'm not seeing anything official on the websites about a P320 ban, especially since it was proven the airman lied and pulled the trigger. The facts killed a lot of the hysteria.

I moved from the Bay area to Sac and shooting seems wayyyy better out here

They posted no 320s on the check in window. Its also on their website
 
My wife has 3.1 p365 with XL grip and radian comp…

Speaking of that. Anyone have issues with accuracy in that format?? Hers has been doing some weird stuff lately.


I am gonna throw in another contender for Shtz and giggles.

Canik! I have an MC9LS and it’s a hole puncher! My last range trip with it had a solid shred in the center of target with 20 clean hits.

Beretta PX4
Amazing gun "out-the-box" for 2000's standards, but it falls behind a bit when compered to what you get with newer handguns. I've dropped around $700 for so on mine getting it optic ready, improving the trigger, and getting a comp put on it. Features that something like a P365X Macro has ready to go.
I love my PX4, but it's nowhere the best.

The PX4 can go 50,000 rounds without cleaning and is softer shooting than an x macro. It’s no longer on roster and yes, you’ll drop some coin. I’m surprised no one has mentioned Mischief Machine or the ACE Evo as a huge improvement on the P365 XL or Macro. You’ll spend $400 but it’s better than OEM or Wilson Combat grip modules.
 
Tried out the PDP compact and the xmacro comp today, wow the grip really is amazing on the PDP. The xmacro is definitely thin and concealable but not nearly as nice of a grip. I was shocked at how lightweight the PDP felt for the size. The trigger is amazing for a striker fired, it made the xmacro feel mushy back to back

Top striker fire triggers from the factory are PDP, Canik and M&P. I haven’t put my hands of a PDP but love my Canik and shield plus.
 
For me (I also have G19, G43, G23, Beretta PX4 Storm) I simply LURVE my CZ 75 P-01. I like the decocker, trigger is excellent and internal rails make it very shootable. I had my slide cut for a Holosun 407 and I shoot it in local Action matches in addition to carry (in "winter" clothes)

My Shield 1.0 with the APEX trigger breaks like glass, it's crazy how well it shoots for the size
 
So I skimmed through 4 pages of ideas and I don't see how a PDP is better than a Staccato C4X. You did ask for the best gun on the roster and not for the money right?

Probably best range toy but definitely worse for CCW, obviously pricey
