Drooled over the CZs as a mass hole and now I'm ready to get one or more. Which one first though? Stopped in to 619 after work tonight and too many choices so I grabbed an m&p 22 compact threaded to play with inbound suppressor and help me think. So, P09 with its massive capacity and full size for home defence? P07 smaller package and 17 rds with +2? Is it better than g17? Is it better than my Canik tp9sf with aftermarket mags? I think I saw 20s? Shadow? I don't compete but maybe I would? Really wanted to buy one tonight but paralysis by analysis. Classic 75 steel?
 
For home defense, bigger and heavier is best. So full size steel.

While I love my Shadow 2, even from the factory the trigger pull is a bit light for defensive use. It’s really a competition gun.
 
Buy them all! I edc a PCR so that's my go-to despite a lower round count. You may prefer a safety to a decocker, polymer frame, rail, etc... Plenty of options and if you can't decide I'd get a used 75b until you make up your mind.
 
I was about to come back and ask about p01. Tactical? I’ll check it out. Maybe I need a poll.

SP01-Tactical. Nothing wrong with a p09/P07. But mass is your friend.
A CZ 97 is not suitable because it has no light rail.

Personal opinion: is an AR is the best HD gun there is.

Good point. I have AR pistols in 5.56 and 300AAC. Can't beat 30 round mags I guess. CZ for fun then. :)

I’d hate to have to use my AR inside the house, my whole family would be deaf. FU Mass for making suppressors illegal.

This x1000. I can't even imagine what it would do to the poor dogs. The thought of shooting an un-suppressed AR, without any hearing protection, is a great big no for me even at the range, let alone in the house with the windows closed.
Between the noise and over penetration, I am going to stick to a handgun.

You will likely overpenetrate a lot more with a pistol than an AR using a 55gr or lighter projectile. An AR is arguably the best choice for defending the homestead, noise aside.

I would disagree. Unless you hit a stud, an AR is hardly going to slow down going through sheet rock. 45 ACP hollow points on the other hand...

I agree...

I’m also not an expert but in a class I took at MFS the instructor stated that the FBI test of compared .223 and handgun cartridges and it supported this. I was surprised and found it quite interesting.

I think it's similar to 9mm, not less, but the noise makes it unusable imo, especially with the friggin' brake on it.
