If you started out looking at the G-17 and G-19, perhaps, you might want to consider the G-34? I just bought a brand new 3rd generation G-19 as an EDC piece. It's been over a month now; and I couldn't be happier.
The G-19 is a little tougher to shoot straight at speed than, say, the G-21 I usually carry; but, darn, it's so light I don't even know it's there! Personally, I don't care for the healthy snap a 40 S&W produces whenever it goes into recoil. I'd much rather work with either a 9mm or a 45 ACP.
