In the .40 cal.

Glock model 22
Beretta Px4
Beretta 90two
Springfeild XD ported model
Ruger .40

I got to shoot alot this last weekend and I decided on a .40 cal semi auto. I shot the Glock and enjoyed it but I thought it would be worth my time to look at these others. I shot 2 different H&K's and decided against them.
So... What do you like? Let me know

Although you didn't list it, I'd go with the Sig 239

The Glock 22. I really enjoy my G21. I've been thinking about the G33 in .357, as I don't have a gun in that caliber.

I think they are fun to shoot, and very easy to maintain.

Of the options you mentioned, I'd go with the Glock.

This would be my choice as well. Of the ones that you listed I'd go with the XD.

Springfield XD .40 S&W
BBJ

Springfield XD. The glock grip angle didnt' fit me otherwise a glock would be my next choice.

You left out another nice one - the Steyr M40. This one fits me better than any of the others and I love the trapazoid sights. I am surprised that no other manf. uses these. They are easy to see and very fast at target acquisition.

Ugh. Nothing but double actions.

Try a Para-Ordnance P16-40. Single action, double stack, 1911. Shoot it in competition and you'll shoot rings around those other pistols you named.

IPSC/USPSA had to make "special" classes for double actions because they are not competitive with 1911's. Kinda like putting Corky in a Quantum Physics class.

Springfield XD, although without the ported barrel. I love my XD9....the grip angle is sooo much better than a Glock.
