Well in short order and internet cruising I have narrowed it down to either the XD or the Glock in the 9mm.
Just have to do some more digging on the Glock model differences.
Another consideration will be used availability and price of course. Just can't swing a new one at this stage.
Thanks for the info
Here’s the cool part about GLOCK… if you buy a 9mm lets say G19 (compact or mid-size) you can simply turn it into a G23 or 32 buy changing barrels out about a $100 bucks. You will need a different mag. also but the .40S&W and .357SIG use the same mag. Not bad, now you have three guns in one! Barrels
You can do the same with XD, if you buy a 40 cal you can go down in caliber, the only exception is you cant go up from a 9mm, at least I dont think you can.
Sorry... I dont think you can do this with the XD.
Yes, you can.

Hate to tell you, yes you can.
