Between the big names in plastic guns (S&W M&P, Glock 19, Beretta PX-4 and Springfield XD) it comes down to personal preference. I owned all of them at one point or another and found them to be uniformly reliable and capable. (Note: HK isn't counted as it's significantly more expensive than this set of pistols.)

For me, the M&P won out because of ergonomics. I have smallish hands, so the exchangeable backstrap was great. Trigger pull is just okay out of the box, but smooths up nicely with use. The trigger reset still sucks though. The bore axis is low, and the beavertail really helps in getting a high grip. It's easily the bargain of the bunch at ~ $400.

The best advice would be to go into a gun store, try all of them, and pick the one that points the most naturally for you.

I spent half an hour browsing the Detonics website yesterday, if that counts for anything. Kickin' it old school... the Bren Ten, Colt Delta Elite, and Glock 20 were also favorites of mine... do we sense a theme here?
