Stay away from EAA Witness. I bought the 10mm and what a piece of crap. Looks good, but won't fire. Stovepipes, jams etc. Sent it back 2 times for warrenty, came back worse. Wanna buy it ? $ 475 firm.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I just got a Smith and Wesson M&P .40 for christmas and love it so far. Ive only put about 400 rounds through it, but havent had a single issue at all. They do make them in a compact version as well. i would recommend looking at those as they are about 500.

The best thing you could probably do is head to a range that allows you to rent guns and just shoot everything they have. its usually only about $15 for unlimited rentals when you buy the bullets from them. Just shoot everythign in the calibers youre considering and figure out what feels best. thats what i did.

Awesome looking piece. It's all bullet. Very cool. I imagine the .44 is something but it must kick like a bull.

I agree.
That's why I suggested SW 610.
