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

Kinda surprised no one has said it so far, but I'd say undoubtedly the 365 XMacro comp. Big enough to be a good range gun/home defense gun, but small enough to be a very good ccw. Optic ready, decent enough trigger, good capacity, and near infinite aftermarket support. You can make it into a micro size pocket 9, or a metal frame 4.5" gun for competition. It really is a do everything gun.
This would be my vote (X Macro Comp).
 
First question does 2Azone signel shots count?
No.
Those are all off-roster guns.
Hence the need to re-manufacture and re-mark them as a different manufacturer to get around the roster.
 
Beretta 92FS. It’s not the most compact, but it’s reliable, accurate, not terribly expensive, and with a few Langdon parts will have a spectacular trigger.
 
No one for the HK P2000???

OK..seriously for a striker gun the M&P 2.0 line is hard to bead...so far I'm up to a M&P 2.0 compact, full size, 10mm, Shield Plus, and Shield X...

Would love to get into the Echelon or the VP9...

2 major strikes against it though, non removable front sight and very difficult/expensive/janky to put an optic. If they sold the modern optic ready versions it would be a fantastic option.
