all the others would be out of business as nobody will admit to have a gun that is less than the best in his mind. It is all in what fits your hand and what you shoot the best. If I had to have a 40, it would be either the Rock Island 1911 or a Hi Power. I am too old to change the way I shoot and a double action is not for me.
I think about half the DA 40s out there are a copy of the CZ 75. Jeff Cooper always said the CZ was the best 9mm on the market. Cooper's Bren Ten in 10mm was pretty much a copy of the CZ. It would be hard to go wrong with one of the CZ clones although they are heavy.
Not to muddy up the water but there is nothing the 40 will do that the new high performance 9mms won't do just as well.
