I have to say I like the SIG the best, if feels right, the s nice in my hand even for a single stack, and I like the controls.
So the few guns I am looking at: SIG 229 in either 9mm or S&W 40, H&K P30/P30L/P2000 in 9mm or S&W 40, and the odd ball a Springfield Armory XD9.
I like the 9mm for mag size and cost of ammo, but as of late 9mm is hard to come by, and I like the extra stopping power of the 40... I suppose after my permit to purchase goes threw it will be more of a mater of whats available.
I think the XD9 would be a good carry gun then look into a SIG/HK further down the road.

I would take into consideration what's the main purpose of the gun. Is it going to be a home defense gun or a carry gun? Home defense I'd say you're fine with a full size of any caliber you choose. If it's a carry gun you'll probably want something lighter and more compact. I carry a Glock 36 with an extended mag. It's a single stack .45acp. I went with the 45 cause it has plenty of stopping power plus is a slower moving round and less likely to go through and through.
I've owned a couple sigs they are awesome guns you can never go wrong with a Sig. I agree with jet. Rent a bunch of guns and try them out before you buy one. That's what I did before I bought my Glock. Also if you want to give my Glock a whirl you're more than welcome too.
