IMO one of the best polymer framed hand guns on the market right now is the Springfield XD series. Excelent trigger pull for a striker fired handgun and excelent safety features built into the gun yet with no manual safety taht must be manipulated.
The new XD's do have a manual saftey now. I had the choice of if i wanted it or not when i bought mine. I love my XD 40 and will never get rid of it.
