I never really was "into" handguns until my younger daughter showed interest in them......she wants to be a State Cop like one of my sisters. I told her she's "too smart" (she is athletic and a 4.0 student) to be a cop, but she is still looking at it. I say the "too smart" comment as a joke and simply want her to explore all her options, and the type of person she is, she has many. She's a freshman in high school.
Anyway, wound up with the Springfield kinda out of the process of elimination. Got the CZ first, then the Springfield, and then the Sig. Wanted to find a good shooter for my daughter, but she really didn't like the CZ since it is a bit snappy for her, have never shot the XD since I found the Sig right after I purchased the XD.
So, my daughter really enjoys shooting the Sig (and, it's what my sister carries, although she carries the 40) and that's what I want her to shoot anyway, and I've got the CZ and XD for myself.
Need to obviously shoot the XD and see how I like it. Such an awesome looking gun, but then again, I really like the CZ too, even if it has a little snap to it.
