Over the last two weeks I test fired the Beretta 92, Px4, Springfield XD-M, Sigsauer P226, P229, 225, Taurus 24/7 and HK USP (in 9mm).

I really liked the Sigs but the 226 was just a tad fat but 225 doesn't carry enough ammo for my taste. The XD fired incredible, but I really want an exposed hammer (plus I'm not a super huge fan of striker fire). The USP came up the best for me and my initial groupings were the tightest with this gun. I am probably going to pick one up unless I can get thinner grips for the 226.

CVD, I have a good friend (the kind I would trust my life to) that use to carry the 225 and now swears by the 229 (in .357), so I think you are on the right track.
