Honestly.... I have mostly Glocks... 4 that I own and my GF has 2....
Ive owned 2 CZ p10Fs now and I really enjoy shooting them. The CZ has a better trigger for sure, but I like the simplicity of the Glock and the ability to customize for find parts anywhere.

I think if parts were more available then CZ would get a bigger following

 Not a striker fan at all, except for my carry guns. I have 2 Kahrs, a P380 and a PM9

CZ P-10S for the range, with a CGW striker and Glock 4 lb striker spring and keepers.  I still carry a P-07 hammer gun, however.  I like the Kahr design also, but the PM-9 and PM-40 are just too small for me, whereas the P-10S is just right.  I have very limited striker pistol experience, however.

These 2 Beauties are my Most Accurate and Sweetest Shooting strikers. (the Walther is all steel)
I got rid of my P-10C and P10F, I didn't like the triggers.




What he said.  I have a Walther PPQ 45.  Great pistol.  I have purchased the Q5 Match SF but am waiting for my pistol purchase permit to take possession.  Great that North Carolina still has a Jim Crow era law that denies us our 2A rights.

Wow I wouldn't have thought NC would be that way. We in Ohio can buy and fly the same day. With the most recent revision in our CCW licensing we don't even have to stand around waiting for them to call in the 4473 except for a couple shops which refuse to go that route.

Same here in AZ. If I buy from an FFL, I just fill out the 4473, he logs my CCW info, and away I go. No calling for a NICS check, no wait, just pay for the purchase/transfer and away I go. When the day comes that we have to move, I’ll miss that part of AZ!

As for my favorite striker/polymer pistol, I’m a Glock guy. I haven’t had the chance to shoot a P10, HK VP9, or Sig P320, though I’d like to at some point. I also want to try one of those Steyr L9A1 just because. But for me, Glocks are light, incredibly simple, and I shoot them well. They’re far from my favorite based on looks/comfort, but they’ve always gone bang when I needed them to, so I carry them the most. Definitely on a DA/SA kick lately though, picked up my first CZ handgun a few days back (PCR) and look forward to trying it out!

My favorite is my Canik TP9SFx, probably because it's the only striker fired gun I have ever felt was worth owning. What can I say - I'm a hammer type guy.
On another note, here in AL we can no longer use a ccw for firearm purchases because a few idiot sheriffs issued permits to their felon friends, which ruined it for the rest of us. The best reason to get a ccw in NC is that it allows you to forgo the archaic pistol purchase permit process.
No matter where you're going, there you are.

My favorite striker fired pistol is the Grand Power Q100.  It has a 3.5 pound trigger from the factory.

I have been through Glock, FN - FNS and 509, M&P Gen 1 and M2.0, Walther PPQ and P320. Out of all of those the P320 lasted the longest for me before I wient back to DA/SA. I still carry the Shield 9 and 45, but I am giving the P365XL a try soon.

P365- it suits me well, and it's the only polymer handgun that I'm interested in .

I am with @hodge. Overall,  I am not a fan of the striker-fired polymer shooting experience, I really do prefer a DA/SA with an alloy or steel frame.  However,  for a subcompact CCW I have found nothing to top the P365. It replaced a G43 that I never did get used to. It was ENTIRELY reliable,  but the Glock grip angle has never been comfortable for me and I was not terribly accurate with it


I do frequently carry my P01 in cooler weather when I have more cover garments on, but never got ergonomically comfortable with a RAMI I owned some years back. 

So, for now, the 365 is my only poly/striker piece and it is likely to stay that way unless a similarly sized and ergonomic metal framed  DA/SA 9mm comes to market. I am not holding my breath.

Cheers!

I don’t own either of these guns but. A buddy of mine let me shoot his Canik TP9 & TP9SFX. Both felt really good but the trigger on that TP9 was extremely nice. I was pleasantly surprised.

Yea, what these guys said. I have used Springfield, Glock, and HK pistols; however, Walther is my choice if I had to shoot a striker style pistol.  The PPQ 45 is the gun I carry on the farm that I don’t care to ding up crawling underneath a tractor or building fence.  Accurate with a decent trigger.

For striker fired guns, I've had the best luck with XD's. I shoot them well, never had a problem with one. I had a Sig M18. It had quite a few jams. I wasn't too impressed.
I've got a Canik TP9SF Elite now. I think the Caniks are well built guns. I haven't taken it out yet. I found it used at a local shop. I can't tell if it's ever been shot, it's that clean. It sold new at $425, I got it used with everything in the case at $275.
I've found that growing up in the sixties was a lot more fun than being in my sixties.
