Can't decide on what I want as far as a new semi-auto!

Start with the one you want the most, buy the rest as you can.

Which one do you really want?

I really want them all at the moment, so there really isn't one that I want the most. :'(
I already have three hammer fired guns and three striker fired guns but I'm about to get rid of my Glock 20 Gen. 4 so I'm able to get what I want.
I have a larger list but due to what they all are I have to separate them by their "class".
The guns I want the most right now is:

Semi-autos:

1) Smith & Wesson M&P40L C.O.R.E.
2) H&K VP9
3) Sig P320 (Full size, .40S&W)
4) Beretta PX4 Storm (Full size, .40S&W)

Revolvers:
1) Smith & Wesson TRR8
2) Smith & Wesson Model 649
3) Ruger LCRx (3" barrel)

Rifles:
1) Chinese Norinco AK-47 (.223)
2) Remington 700 SPS Varmint (.308, LH'ed)
3) Some sort of AR Pistol (7.5" barrel)
4) Beretta CX4 Storm Carbine (9mm)

So I'm having a VERY, VERY, VERY hard time choosing what I want. :'(

of the "plastic guns" I would get the XDM and on the other side I would vote for the Sig P229

I've never really cared for the XDm series, don't get me wrong, they're good pistols but they just don't interest me.
The Sig P229 is quite heavy so that's the main reason why I don't like it.
If I was to get a all metal Sig it would be:

1) P220
2) P226
3) P239
4) 1911 Fastback Nightmare Carry

Damn son, I thought I had a big wish list!

LMFAO! I just can't decide on which one of these I oughta' get. I'm gonna' get rid of my Glock 20 so I can have some money to put towards on of these guns.
As far as the rifles go I'm leaning a bit more towards the AK 1) For it's value and 2) I need a good AK since I have a good AR.
But with everything else, I'm not sure what to get, it's driving me insane! :P

I'd go with the SIG P320. You can convert it to 9mm or make it a compact or subcompact with conversion kits. However, I'd also suggest the FNS-40. You can get it in a compact version with a 3.6" barrel and 10 round magazine, a full size with a 4" barrel or a long slide version with a 5" barrel. The last two have a 14 round capacity and that same magazine can be used with the compact version by adding a grip sleeve to the magazine.

True about the P320, but if I get it I'm just gonna' keep it as it's full size model. I don't understand why Sig did that with the P250 and P320, it just doesn't make sense. I guess it saves you some money?
Now I do like the FNH FNS, I just haven't got to handle one yet so I'm a bit skeptical on it. When I go to the FNH webpage the picture of it just doesn't justify the true looks of it. If I don't end up getting either one of these I'll probably end up getting the FNS40L.

From what I understand, the gun was designed for the European market. In Europe, it can be much tougher to get a pistol legally, so by designing a system where a shooter could have different caliber pistols without going through the time and expense of buying separate guns SIG thought they'd have a bug seller in a market beset by challenges. From what I've heard, it hasn't quite been the success they had hoped but the striker-fired P320 may turn that around.

Although I may have to get the black version (as my FFL hasn't been able to locate a two tone one), I think the two tone version of all the FN pistols are some of the nicest looking pistols out there today. As for how they feel, when I picked up a FNP back in 2012, it was as if the gun had been custom-molded to my hand. I'd expect the FNS-9 to be the same way.
