I'm having a tough time making up my mind between these two for my first 9mm pistol. I've ruled out the Glock 17 and Springfield XD (don't like the feel of them) and the S&W M&P (don't like the trigger at all).
I love the ergonomics of the Walther . It just feels perfect in my hand, and the fit and finish look the best of any polymer gun I've seen. I also like the decocker location. Around here, they are going for around $600. I'm a little wary about parts and extra mags for it - looks like they are really expensive.
The FN also feels pretty good in hand, I like that it comes with 3 mags, and I've read nothing but glowing reviews of it. I also love that it's manufactured in my hometown of Columbia, SC. The best price I've seen abound here is about $535, including the $50 FN rebate (everyone on the internet says they run well under $500, but I haven't seen any around here anywhere close to that price).
What do you folks think?
