Check out the Sig P320.

I see many "votes" for the CZ 75B. Go for it, you won't go wrong

What do you currently carry? I like having my oh-shit guns to be somewhat, not exactly similar. For example, my primary carry piece is M&P compact so my HD handgun is a full size M&P. But I also carry a Glock G30s. I like them all to be striker fired, no safety or de-cocker to worry about one one gun and not the other.

i usually carry a shield 9mm and ive thought about a full size m&p

What is preventing any of your current firearms from being that home defense gun? It sounds like all or most of your firearms may be compact to sub-compact, but for short-distance firing, the slightly smaller barrel should not make that much of a difference with practice. Having a compact gun with interchangeable magazines like a glock is a plus in my opinion. However, one can buy 9 and 10 round magazines for small guns like a kel tec or a bersa.

But hey, if you're looking to buy another one, go right ahead!

I usually have my 1911 or sr40c with 15 round mag around the house. im probably just looking for an excuse to buy another

Try on as many as you can. you hhave a rather broad spectrum to work with.

striker? da/sa?

any preference?

(you sound like you're already sold on the vp-9)

striker or da/sa doesn't matter. I really like the vp9 in the hand but 3 negatives. 1. only holds 15 rounds when it should hold 17. 2. I wish the mag release was standard and not like a walther even though im used to it since owning a p22. 3. it reminds me of a walther and I haven't owned a centerfire walther but the p22 left a bad taste in my mouth.

im leaning towards the xdm9 full size but the vp9 really felt great in my hand and I liked the night sites

Don't hold the CZ 75....if you do, it will come home with you. And then it shoots as good as it feels.

Then I would put a M&P at the top of my list to at least check out. And if I looked at something different I'd have to really understand why I would like it more since there's already a familiarity with the ergos and trigger from the Shield.

There's a few variants out there for the full size now, I think the CORE model (too lazy to check) is pre set up for a Trijicon RMR site. That would definitely make for a fun range/HD gun.
