CZ P-01 9mm
I have an old P226 (sheet steel slide) 9mm and XD40's (full size and compact). In my mind, the new Sigs just aren't what they used to be. They seem to be more geared toward volume rather than quality the way they used to be. They are not bad guns, but they are over priced for what you get, IMHO.
I would go with the XD line over the Sigs and have.

I am loving my Sig 229 DAK. Wrong caliber and model number I know, but I really enjoy shooting it.
Ill definitely be looking into a 226 in the future.

Anyone have either gun? What do you like/dislike?
Thanks!
You just gotta love California! I cannot imagine what the XDm has over the XD that makes it not available in your state. Oh, but I forgot, they are the biggest anti-gun and anti-car state in the USA...

Those gun laws and car laws are in place for a reason!
Haven't you read about the "world's best air quality" and the "world's lowest (if not non-existant) crime rate" because of those laws?
If you buy a imported weapon, make sure someone has PLENTY of POSSIBLE parts available here in the US.
They could(will) be illegal to import soon.

I have had a Glock 22 40 s&w for the last 16 years and have nothing but good things to say about it. When shopping for a new personal defence weapon recently, I decided that a .45 was in order and I bought a new Glock 21. Pick it up next Tuesday. The thing that sold me on the Glock again is how the grip fit my hand. For me, the Glocks just fit my large hands like a glove.
Parts availibility for Glocks are excellent. Not quite 1911 levels, but very good never the less.
I know you didn't mention Glocks, but give them a look. Finding the right weapon is hard and very subjective. Opinions very in every direction. Go to a range that rents the guns in question and try them first. Then you can use your own judgement instead of ours.
